Polo Shirts For A Classy Look On And Off the Court

Polos have a long-standing tradition in the world of tennis. The inventor of the polo shirt, Henri Lacoste, was a gifted designer and one of the best tennis players of his time, the 1920s. His resilience and fighting spirit on the court reminded many observers of a crocodile. Add to that a particular bet: legend has it that the winner of a match would be given a crocodile leather suitcase as a prize. And born was one of the most iconic logos the world has ever seen: the green crocodile on the chest of every Lacoste polo shirt.

At Tennis-Point, we have a huge range of Lacoste polos for you. Of course, other tennis brands have always featured polo shirts in their collections as well. There is probably no other garment as connected with tennis history as the polo shirt. It combines the sportiness of a t-shirt with the elegance of a collared shirt. The manufacturers often additionally highlight this effect by using combinations of high-quality cotton and very fine fabric. Therefore, a polo shirt always looks classy, whether on or off the court. On top of that, the typical button neck provides sufficient air conditioning when things get heated on the court.

The Different Types Of Polos

Traditionally, polos are made of cotton. But in recent years, functional materials have gained lots of popularity, and they convince with excellent breathability and good moisture management, also in tennis polos. In terms of patterns, you are spoilt for choice: the collections of big brands like adidas, Babolat, HEAD, or Sergio Tacchini are usually quite tight. But we also have loose-fit polos that sit casually and still not inhibit your movements. If you are not sure what to pick, the following selection criteria might help with choosing your perfect tennis polo:

• Traditional cuts create a stylish retro look
• Functional materials let the polo dry quicker
• Cotton feels very pleasant on the skin
• Loose-fit is more comfortable for some people
• Some necks have zips instead of two or three buttons
