Polo Outfits Olympians -
February 4th, 2010
They come in almost every color and size, can be found stored in drawers and closets in nearly every home in America, and are more popular than complimentary cheesecake at a Lane Bryant store. No, folks, we’re not talking about d!ldos, but rather the classic Polo short-sleeved knit shirt. Ralph Lauren, the creator and designer of the world famous clothing line, will once again be outfitting Team USA at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
We dig Ralph’s stuff, but we prefer our Polo logo the standard ¾-inch height as opposed to the obnoxious palm-sized super-douche variety. Here’s hoping Olympic gold will be worn around our athletes’ necks as often as the designated designer duds.

People that actually play polo in the United States—making the remaining millions upon millions of us that wear the brand just posers. |

chukka
|
noun. Name of the 7-minute periods in a polo match. There are either four or eight chukkas in a full game, depending on the level being played.
Used in a sentence: I was cheering for the champs when they choked in the last chukka.

Ralph Lauren was born as Ralph Rueben Lifshitz.
Good thing he changed his name. "Polo by Ralph Lifshitz" just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Get your patriot and your Polo on as you cheer for the U.S. Olympic team this winter. But please, for the love of God, don’t pop your collar. |
