My Brit homey Mr.Blister sent me a kite telling me that the Olympics were in Londontown again after the 1924 Olympiad. The 1948 Summer Games was the return of the Olympics to England.
Knowing Ralph Lauren’s asPirations like I do I thought I’d look thru some of the flicks from the 1948 Olympics to see if he cribbed some of his graphic details from the outfits worn during that time.
Sure enough Ralph Lauren found inspiration from Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen’s (also known as ‘the Flying Housewife’) bib numbers.
The 1992 plates series is one of the indisputable GOATs for lifestyle collectors. The tee shirts, rugbys and button downs fetch several hundred dollars apiece. The windbreaker jackets are my favorites.
I don’t think the people on the design team at polo have any idea how nuts people would go if they retroed these classic I.T.’s
Please no retro’s. Just new track and filed I.t.’s. Yo d Ralph was all over the place if you look at the details of the plates I.t.’s you see flo Jo singlet From the 1988 Seoul games.
@dallas I just sent you the pick of flo Jo.

im with you on folks going nuts for retros, but i think ralphies people know theres a market for em. they just aint tryin to do it.
Polo is the GOAT of aspirational apparel because it is timeless. The design isn’t only colorblocking but the very construction of the garments to wear forever.
Retro’s be made to be on some single sheet of gypboard quality.
Here is the cheat code for the polo website
