Polo shirts were named after the game of the same name, and the history of this item of clothing is very unusual, filled with many interesting events, covering almost a century.

It all started in India, this country is the birthplace of polo. Long ago, in the 6th century BC the Indians invented their own entertainment - they would sit on a horse or an elephant and with the help of a stick tried to score a ball made of willow twigs into the opponent's goal. While the players wore the same shape - a sweater from a knitted fabric with long sleeves.

Next, the history of the polo moves to England. In 1871, the first polo tournament took place in Albion. After such an event, the game is popularized, and the first equestrian polo club is created in America. From this point on, the formation of teams and the emergence of professional players, so the leadership of the clubs seriously thought about the uniform.

In 1926, tennis player Rene Lacoste became the "instigator" of the fashionable revolution in the world of sports. He just changed his clothes for going out to court - now Lacoste was wearing a white T-shirt, which had three buttons, a collar and sleeves to the elbow. This was a sensation, because before the athletes wore only classic cut shirts.

Seven years later, Lacoste creates its own brand. Now Lacoste - clothes for professional athletes. And from this time you can count the history of modern polo shirts.

Further fashionable ideas of designers were aimed at the modernization of polo, a variety of styles and models. In the middle of the 20th century, Frederick Perry changed the design of the shirts: he made the sleeves shorter, there were contrasting stripes on the cuffs and collar, he created models of different colors. In the 70s, the famous designer Ralph Lauren shortened the sleeves, and it turned out a polo shirt. During this period, polo fashion penetrates the Soviet Union.

These dates are the main milestones in the history of the development of fashion for polo shirts, which determined their modern look.
