Crimson, White and Navy: Mature Representation for the 2012 Games

With the political controversy surrounding the 2012 Olympic Games, American participants can be proud to be wearing Polo Ralph Lauren. The atelier’s long-standing philosophy behind sophisticated sportswear collections translates to the attitude we want to project: integrity. It’s a trait ingrained in athletes from our high schools to the professional level. Minimalist leisurewear coupled with semi formal details such as lapels suggest “we’re stiff competition” while a subtle yet resonant undertone of patriotism in the more neutral-based crimson, crisp white and navy undeniably represent our seeking maturity in light of the global state of affairs.
