Modegeschiedenis
The United States Polo Association was established in 1890 as the governing body for the sport of polo in the United States. The apparel brand was launched in 1981 to generate revenue for the organization. It holds a unique position in fashion history as a brand directly tied to a sports regulatory body. Its cultural significance stems from its long-standing legal disputes and market competition with Ralph Lauren over the use of polo-related iconography.
