[High quality] The mini cooper car racing all over print polo shirt

Did you know that the very first polo shirt was made for tennis rather than polo?

René Lacoste created the first polo shirt specifically for tennis. He devised a white, short-sleeved, piqué cotton shirt with a flat protruding collar, a buttoned placket, and a shirt-tail longer in rear than in front, finding “tennis whites” (especially the long sleeved button-up white cotton shirt normally worn for tennis) restricting. At the 1926 U.S. Open championship, he wore it for the first time. He began mass-marketing tennis polo shirts after retiring from tennis in 1933.

So, how did this shirt get known as a polo shirt, despite the fact that it was designed for tennis?

Polo players used to wear thick long-sleeved shirts with a collar, which were normally made of Oxford cotton and had a button down collar. After observing collars flipping upward during polo matches, John Brooks, the creator of Brooks Brothers, came up with the notion of a button-down collar. However, because these shirts were too restricting for polo, polo players quickly embraced Lacoste’s tennis shirts once they learned about them in the 1930s. The name polo shirt, which originally only referred to the long-sleeved, buttoned-down shirts used in polo, quickly became a generic phrase for the tennis shirt. By the 1950s, it was widely used to refer to the shirt most usually associated with “tennis whites.” Tennis players would frequently refer to their shirt as a polo shirt, despite the fact that tennis had used it long before polo. Thanks to the Mods’ appreciation of Fred Perry’s polos, the polo shirt transitioned from athletic to streetwear in the next decade. Since the 1930s, this classic top has gone a long way!

Before it was synonymous with upper-class prep or back-to-school uniforms, the polo shirt was simply the top worn during polo matches, hence the origin of its name. Before it came in a rainbow of sorbet hues, before frat boys ever thought to pop its collar, before it became synonymous with upper-class prep or back-to-school uniforms, the polo shirt was simply the top worn during polo matches, hence the origin of its name. In its contemporary form, the sport may be traced back to Manipur, a state in Northeast India, in the 19th century, before being adopted and promoted by British military officials in the mid-1800s. Long-sleeve cotton shirts were the typical polo uniform at the time, but the players were unhappy with how the collar flapped throughout the game, so they added buttons to keep them in place. The button-down polo shirt was born as a result. When John E. Brooks, a Brooks Brother legacy, saw a button-down polo shirt while attending a polo match in England, he was so enamoured with it that when he returned to the United States, he added button-down collars to all Brooks Brother dress shirts. It was dubbed “the original button-down polo shirt” when it debuted in 1896 to great acclaim, forever changing the landscape of menswear.

The polo player emblem, on the other hand, was created by Argentinian polo player Lewis Lacey. He founded a sports shop in Buenos Aires in 1920, selling shirts with a polo player on a pony on the front. However, the modern polo shirt did not appear until 1933. Jean René Lacoste, dubbed “le Crocodile” on the court for his toughness (though there are rumours that the name came from a bet he made with the French Davis Cup captain in which he would be given a crocodile-skin suitcase if he won a match), sought to improve the tennis uniform with a pique cotton short-sleeve style (a practical solution to rolled-up sleeve) On the breast, he stitched a little crocodile logo. To sell his crocodile-branded polo shirts to the United States, Lacoste formed a collaboration with Izod, a company owned by Vin Draddy and named after London tailor Jack Izod. At the same time, British tennis player Fred Perry debuted his own version: a white polo with a laurel wreath logo based on the Wimbledon symbol. Within a few years, the Lacoste and Fred Perry polos were seen worn under collegiate sports jackets as part of the preppy uniform, signalling not only the shift of the shirt from an on-court fixture to an everyday essential, but also the birth of a new fashion category—sportswear.
