U.S. Polo Assn. is a global fashion brand inspired by the sport of polo and serves as the official brand of the United States Polo Association. It offers apparel, footwear, accessories, luggage, and watches for men, women, and children. The brand is sold in many countries through a broad network of retail stores, outlet locations, e-commerce, and wholesale partners.
Brand identity
The brand’s signature logo features two polo players on horseback, reflecting its connection to the sport rather than a single player. Its collections emphasize classic American-inspired casualwear, with staples such as polo shirts, chinos, denim, outerwear, sneakers, and everyday accessories. Products are generally positioned in the accessible mid-price segment.
Connection to polo
Unlike brands that simply borrow polo-inspired imagery, U.S. Polo Assn. is directly affiliated with the United States Polo Association (USPA), the governing organization for the sport of polo in the United States. Revenue from brand licensing helps support the association’s mission to promote and develop the sport through tournaments, clubs, and player programs.
Product range
The brand’s offerings typically include:
-
Men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel
-
Footwear and sneakers
-
Bags, backpacks, and luggage
-
Watches, belts, wallets, and caps
-
Underwear, sleepwear, and seasonal collections
Many products feature recognizable branding, including embroidered logos, bold lettering, and sporty color palettes.
Position in the market
U.S. Polo Assn. is often compared with other preppy and casual lifestyle fashion brands, but it is not affiliated with Polo Ralph Lauren. Although both use polo-inspired themes, they are separate companies with different ownership, branding, and market positioning. U.S. Polo Assn. focuses on delivering classic casual fashion at a more accessible price point while maintaining its official connection to the sport of polo.
