Lmao :mjlol:



Facts, they shyt is Soccer Jerseys and most the color combos I wasn't feeling like blue and lime gren shirts and shyt. I copped one of the jerseys though that was red and black but only cause it was on sale. They shyt feel off.

Nothing like the OG Polo sports.



Facts, I really want one though. Them Polo bear sweaters are so fire and I heard they got some rare ones out there :francis:

If I could get any Polo in the world it would be that and the dual match polo's. Never had either of those and now thy harder to get.

On another note, sucks Ralph sold it.



What new black designers they got that make dope gear? Put me on bro.

Might have to even make at thread for this :jbhmm:


How much they cost for a pack? 25?
Ralph didn't sell it he just stepped down as CEO. Like Bill Gates still owns much of Microsoft but he isn't involved in the day 2 day.

:mjlol:Is polo dead. Nah, thats the problem with folks, and the reason why your favorite brands have died.

Polo is not dead, it just "is". People buy it, wear it, and love it, and it is in everybodies home. They don't talk about it cause everybody know

it is the shyt. There is no question. Stop thinking in terms of trends and you understand the shyt is just timeless. Unlike graphic jerseys and

oversized clothing.


Real shyt. No disrespect to FUBU, or Sean John, but POLO isn't just some trendy wave people just decide to hop on. It was popular 40 years ago and will be popular 40 years from now

Only dead if you a dikkrider and trend jumper. Im still selling shirts and sweaters for hundreds of dollars and collecting.

But yeah if you gotta wait to see what clothes other folks rock every season to decide your wardrobe then Maybe.

Fam. Ive sold a at that was just sitting in my closet for over $300 and an old jacket for over $700.

These folks don't know anything but hopping on whatever trend is popping and forgotten

Homie do got a collection but I had a Polo Basketball as a kid, I had a polo robe, my polo cardigan is better than his, my polo robe is flyer than his and I even have a Ralph Lauren Pillow case lol.

With that said I'm still impressed. Though he ain't touching Thirsten Howell The Third and most of the Lo Life's from NY.

Yall nikkas is crazy.. I never rocked polo shirts but i always wear polo clothing, Jackets, pants, t shirts, sweaters. Black people think polo and they just think of polo shirts.. so dumb.

Polo is a brand, not a fukking collared sport shirt.
the fact that people call it a polo and not a collared shirt is the reason they will NEVER fail

This can actually work to a companies disfavor. When a brand becomes too closely associated with a product, to the point of it becoming ubiquitous, that brand can lose their creative licenses (trademarks, copyrights, etc) to that word. Which then allows anyone to use that word in their companies. Google for example doesn't like it when people use "google" as a generic term for internet searching. Same with Xerox and "copy machine"

Xerox Hopes Its New Logo Doesn’t Say ‘Copier’
Google Doesn’t Want People Using “Google” As A Verb

Polo is like Brooks Brothers or Levis....

It's the standard for quality American clothing and apparel for almost 100 years.

I bought a Polo beach towel in 2002, have taken it everywhere and washed it hundreds of times and it still doesn't have one tear, hole and maintain its original color..

Stuff like Robins Jeans are fads that die..

Polo is the establishment..

Just because your favorite rapper isn't wearing it doesn't mean anything..

Interesting this thread was made recently. The CEO of Ralph Lauren was just ousted for creative differences with Ralph:

Ralph Lauren CEO leaving after creative clash with founder

Wow interesting, maybe now some things will change for the better nah mean.
