U.S Polo Association

The brand incorporated in 1981. It provides consumers with branded apparel, accessories, luggage, watches, shoes, small leather goods, eyewear and home furnishing. Products are available in more than 135 countries at independent retail stores, department stores and U.S Polo Assn. brand stores.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RALPH LAUREN AND U.S POLO ASSN.

Many people are confused between these two brands. People will ask whether U.S Polo Assn. brand is under Ralph Lauren. The answer is NO. These two brands are not having any related at all, except for their logos.

Actually I also do not know that, Ralph Lauren and U.S Polo is a different company. I thought they are same. I am sorry for my mistake.

The brand U.S Polo is actual the brand of the association that runs the sport and is essentially a cheaper version Ralph Lauren. But both of the company sell a quality clothes at great prices. Ralph Lauren’s polo logo is a single polo rider on a horse with his mallet high in the air, while U.S Polo Assn. logo is more complex. There are two players on their horses, one player’s mallet is in the air, while the other’s lower towards the ground.

U.S Polo Assn. Graphic Shirts will have U.S Polo Assn. clearly printed on the shirt. This wording is also located on the inside tag of the clothes. Ralph Lauren will have Ralph Lauren printed on the label.

What about polo santa Barbara?

Santa Barbara Polo & Racquaet Club, founded in 1911, is the third oldest United States Polo Association (USPA).

Santa Barbara Polo & Racquaet Club's collection of feminine and masculine, elegant ready to wera fashion caters largely to women and men between 20-40 years of age. in the past year, a dedicated team of designers brought almost two decades of experience from high street fashion has created the pioneers to streamline the collection and give it a new brand direction and designs that capture the essence of Asia's urban women and men.

All three companies compete each other in order to attract their customers. Some people prefer Ralph Lauren some others not. it depends on the loyalty of a customer. For me when I buy new product I do not state to certain brand. I will choose a product based on design a quality of material. I had a product from U.S Polo Assn. and Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club. I choose that brands because it is different from others and the price is quite cheaper ~~(discount)~~.

Here are some products from Polo's brand:
