Embroidered Polo Shirt That Began as a Tennis Shirt



A polo shirt is a t-shirt with collars, and a tastefully embroidered polo shirt has greater appeal. Remember that alligator across your left breast? The polo shirt collars are frequently button down. The shirt typically has two small slits on both sides at the bottom, and might also have a pocket.

Polo shirt started as a tennis shirt, to replace the earlier awkward tennis wear. Its inventor of this new tennis shirt, tennis champion Lacoste, put the crocodile emblem on these shirts simply because he was often called 'the alligator' in the tennis circuit.

How this tennis shirt became the polo shirt is a fascinating story. Though polo players soon adopted it, replacing their earlier long-sleeved wear, this fact by itself couldn't have resulted in the fame of the polo shirt. It was when Ralph Lauren's embroidered polo shirts (with the horse-borne polo player emblem) became immensely popular that the erstwhile tennis shirt all but became the 'polo shirt'.

Golf players also used the shirt as their own, often with golf cuts to make them true golf shirts. It's standard wear for golf players now.

So the tennis shirt not just became a polo shirt; it became a de-facto sports shirt, by no matter what name it was called.

Status of the Embroidered Polo Shirt Now

The polo shirt entered day-to-day lives soon and has become a standard item of clothing worn by both men and women these days. It is even worn to offices that accept less formal wear but aren't ready to accept t-shirts yet.

Polo shirts are available in numerous styles, with the horizontal striped style being a popular one. The shirts are available in different colors, with or without a pocket, in men's and women's styles, made of knitted yarn, cotton or poly-cotton, heavy or light and so forth.
