Polo Ralph Lauren is once again the official outfitter for the annual All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Clubs Tournament better known as the Wimbledon Championship. This is the only grand slam tennis event still played on grass. The Wimbledon Championships are 125 years old this summer. This historical milestone is perfect for Polo Ralph Lauren and the brand’s heritage aspirations.
I copped this custom fit knit when I was in Atlanta. I can squeeze in the XXL right now but, I’ll wait to rock this I.T. in August after I’ve shaved off just a few more pounds. Rocking a belly shirt es no bueno.
I was a little taken aback by the number patches on the sleeves. Polo Ralph Lauren is getting a little patch crazy. I get it as far as describing the year the shirts were produced, but that misses the point of being an item designed after the heritage of the sport. Tennis players never wear numbered jerseys.
The only shoe I will consider wearing with this knit is the adidas Rod Laver signature shoe. Naturally, the navy joint. Rod Laver pwned the Wimbledon grass back in the 1960s winning the tourney four(4) times including the year that the Polo brand was established.
that joint is nice the only xxl lo joints that i wear are the undershirts hahahah. i need 2xb for everything else. i need to breathe while wearing my clothes plus how could i layer if my polo is to tight. when they dropped the Ocean Challenge Polos for the big guys they left out japan. what the fuck that was the only one i wanted. i guess i will get the brazil joint but i will wait a while maybe the japan joint will come later. i like the big pony city polo i want the paris joint i’m loving the blue in it. i’m not loving the price tag though. 155$ that hurts but i know i’m going buy it anyway. i already have sneakers and white chino shorts to match up with it. not buying it would be a crime.
ahhh……good look. i know i commented 3 times about it. the best blog here. definitely need an xlt. they stay custom fitting the ill i.t.
plenty do rock it mid sleeve…..cant do it.
I respect the staples in classic footwear as much as you. That being said, you could
MAKE some NASTY 574’s on NB.com to rock with that! I rock with the Combat Jack Show weekly. Peace, INTERNETS!!!!
damn 2xl custom fit would make things so much easier, im in bignats camp 2xb or die!
always loved that suede toe on the lavers too, sets em off so lovely
lavers is retarded….
I copped the Wimbledon joint strictly to rock with the Lavers, but wait ’til the US Open joints drop. Last year’s colorways were reedonkey.
Gonna have to post a drop about that one too. Shit is sadly also Custom Fit so I immediately wrapped it in a freezer bag and put it on ice. SMDH
The England polo is swagger jacking Hackett, they bought out a plain Navy polo with the exact same ‘England’ typeface and St George Cross design in ’98. Massively popular over here in the UK with your average football casuals and hooligans so they stopped making them around 2001 as they didnt want the brand associated with this clientle.
Damn, the Rod Laver is so fuxin’ CLEAN!!!!!
fuck that i called up on that japan joint for the big guys. they told me they not even going do it thats fucked up. yeah cocotaso i’m not even that big it’s the broad shoulders. i don’t want my polos all stuck up in my armpit. dallas custom is tighter than classic fit you going need to work hard this summer to breathe in that joint.
I love sports this time of year.
Roland Garros & Wimby tennis
NBA Finals Dirk v Ca-bron James
Gold Cup (North & Central American + Caribbean soccer tourney)
the uniform sash joint is top choice….nuff respect to bjorn borg
