PENGUIN :: HERITAGE FIT :: STEEL

In 1955 Minneapolis based Munsingwear- an underwear military supply company- ironically became the touchstone of suburban sport with the introduction of the first iconic golf shirt to America -  an ORIGINAL PENGUIN. The now famous ORIGINAL PENGUIN logo has an interesting story behind it. As history tells us, one of Munsingwear's salesmen spotted a flock of penguins in the window of a New York taxidermist - and on what seems like a lark, bought on of the stuffed birds. And before long, "Pete" the penguin became the official mascot and logo of golf shirts. Its first shirt - the 1955, was an instant golf classic, first to feature an "action gusset" or a ribbed slice of fabric on the underarm to avoid rips during even the most enthusiastic golf swing.

This a a grey and blue striped polo with three buttons on front. 100% cotton.
