Nike also paid tribute to Nadal by temporarily changing its display picture across social media handles to the Raging Bull logo. Although the logo is regarded as his symbol, the apparel company owns its rights. He was first spotted wearing the logo in 2013. He has had a decades-long partnership with Nike, beginning in 1998. Since then, he has sported the brand’s clothing and shoes on the court.
