TIL Those US Polo Assn shirts are made by the actual governing body of the sport of Polo in the USA.

The official U.S. Polo Assn. brand website.

Apparently they have been around since 1890, although I don't think they've been making shirts the whole time. I just wonder if they started mass-producing shirts before or after the Ralph Lauren brand.

I think you meant to put US Polo Assn. in your title, not “Politics.”
- And here I was thinking political assassins have a keen interest in horseback riding and swinging mallets
  
  They do, but only on their days off work
- Oops, autocorrect is a harsh master. Thnaks!
The people in that photo do not appear to be playing polo.
- Or wearing polos.
  
  Or eating mints
they just rent the name out as a source of funding.
