White Zipper Embroider

Almost everywhere you look in Tampa, would you rather people carry the ever popular embroidered polo shirts, as others call golf shirts or t-shirts. They are favorites in day to day casual t-shirts for men, women and children alike. They are also widely used as uniforms for businesses, institutions and schools. Because of their popularity, often the same companies use embroidered polo shirts as promotional items, too. It is therefore not surprising that wholesale custom t-shirts and embroidery services for t-shirts are also widely available in Tampa FL. But how this phenomenon with embroidered polo shirts evolve before reaching Tampa FL?

The term "polo shirt" can be traced to the games called polo, which began in the 7th century in Persia. It was later brought to Britain by way of India. Interestingly, the word "Polo" came from a Tibetan word "pulu" naming tree ball that is the focal point in the game.

In the early days, wearing a polo-player long-sleeve white button down collared shirts and white trousers, both made of cotton. In 1920, an Irish haberdasher based in Buenos Aires, named Lewis Lacey added embroidered figure of a polo player for his shirts. He was also a polo player with Hurlingham Polo Club.

Similar long-sleeved white button down collared shirts and white trousers in cotton, with the addition of white ribbon, was also worn by tennis players in the early days. They just rolled up their sleeves while playing a game.

This changed in 1926 when René Lacoste, a French tennis player who was seven time Grand Slam champion, designed his own tennis-shirt. He used very breathable material of knitted cotton pique to make a t-shirt with a soft, flat collar, a buttoned bar closure, short sleeve cuffs, and a longer back tail that was stuck in his pants or shorts, even under strict movements of a battle. The main focus Lacoste was comfort and functionality. He added that the crocodile embroidered on left chest of his tennis shirts in 1927.

In 1933, Lacoste retired from playing tennis and decided to direct his efforts against the mass production and marketing of his tennis shirts. They quickly became popular not only as sportswear, but also as casual wear throughout the world. It is interesting Lacoste's tennis shirts became more widely known as "polo shirts." Eventually, they were adapted by golfers, as well, to create the new term "golf shirts."

Perhaps another reason why the term "polo shirt" still prevail over the "tennis shirt" or "golf shirt" is known because American clothing designer Ralph Lauren called one of his clothing lines "Polo" and it is actually dominated by his version of "polo shirt." It looks very much like the Lacoste shirt except that it appears the figure of a polo player instead of a crocodile.

These days there are countless versions of the polo shirt, tennis shirt or golf shirt produced by different manufacturers. Basically, they are short-sleeved T-shirts, which feature a soft collar with two or three buttons in front. A post closure may or may not can be included and a zipper sometimes replaces buttons. For golf shirts, sleeves are not handcuffed. Pockets are sometimes added. Most versions still use the knitted cotton pique, but there are also shirts made of synthetic blends, merino wool or silk.

From this long history, the now ubiquitous embroidered polo shirts or golf shirts reached Tampa FL and the rest of the world. They will certainly remain as staples in people's wardrobes in many parts of the globe.
