Its competitive wholesale price is all the more promising, especially now that polo shirts are back in promo land with a vengeance.

Hanes polo shirts contain a quality defined fabric, contemporary styling, the finest stitching and buttons with inscription to challenge the top-market retail brands. There is the Trophy Polo that is ready to beat the retail stars on the wholesale pricing front. The Trophy Polo perfectly complements the tried-and-true Top Polo, the must-have Club Polo and the quintessential HeavyWeight Polo in the Hanes promowear range.

Forward-moving style

The fabric is a superb 100% combed cotton piquz and the forward-moving style will stay the course with its optimised shoulder and sleeve pattern. Attention has been paid to every detail, including the stitching and the buttons inscribed with the Hanes name.

Sizes range from S to XXL but it is the choice in colours that really sets the standard with 17 options from Bright Pink to Khaki, from Mint to Dark Orange, and nearly every fashionable colour in between. It seems like the polo shirt has entered a new age.

From sports apparel to casual wear

This is indeed a garment that goes all the way back to the nineteenth century. The name ‘polo’ comes from ‘pulu’, which is Tibetan for the wooden ball that was used for a game first played in seventh century Persia.

In Victorian times the proper attire for the polo game consisted of white flannel trousers, a white tennis sweater, worn over a white shirt with a straight collar.

White wool jersey shirts eventually replaced these button-down shirts. They were called ‘jerseys’ as they were knitted on the Isle of Jersey. They were pulled over the head, had turned-down or rolled collars, long sleeves, and buttons descending five inches down the front of the collar.

This long sleeve polo shirt was the precursor of today’s polo : a knitted sport shirt in a pullover style with short sleeves, a rolled collar and buttons at the neck opening. President Eisenhower began wearing it for his golf games and by the 1930's, knit shirts were all the rage for men at big name resorts, and by the 1950's and 1960's they were popular casual wear for men, women and children.

From casual to professional wear

In the last few years we have witnessed the ascent of the polo shirt in the promowear market, which might be explained by the fact its use has widened from purely casual to both casual and professional wear.

Polo shirts are indeed dominant in the streets as they are increasingly worn by police, security, stewards, hotel and catering personnel, sales people, repairmen.

This rising popularity as professional wear cannot be put down to its durability, comfort and style alone. Its sporty look enhances the teambuilding effect and thanks to the choice in colours and the perfect printing and embroidery results a quality polo shirt can easily be adapted to corporate identities and house styles.

A hit for the promowear market

Now that Hanes has come up with a top-of-the-range polo at a remarkably advantageous price, the promotional wear market jumps at the offer. For here is promowear designed to give visual pleasure as well as comfort, as well as profitable margins. It’s a Trophy the promowear market deserves.
