Speculations on the Arnold palmer sports shirt

“Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps,” quips Tiger Woods. But conversely, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer seem to have escaped the fate of the oddly mismatched plaids and polyesters. Maybe it has something to do with the tasteful design of the Arnold palmer sports shirt. Maybe Palmer designed/endorsed the Arnold palmer sports shirt to avoid the stigma of the bad clothing choices.

Maybe after he was the first person to earn a million dollars playing golf, Palmer considered his wardrobe and the exposure it got, and so agreed that sportsmen needed the class that the Arnold palmer sports shirt displayed, with its tailored tipped bird's eye Jacquard collar and cuffs.

Maybe to keep in good favor of his followers, called “Arnie's Army,” the golf legend came into wearing the Arnold palmer sports shirt, with its versatile colors of iron, navy, heather, butter, chino, and its three button placket with the cross-stitched pearlized buttons embossed with the Arnold Palmer logo.

Or possibly, having played golf since he was three years old and going on to lead in 92 golf championships (61 of which he earned on U.S. PGA tours), he decided the combed cotton honeycomb pique Arnold palmer sports shirt, with the double-needle stitched hemmed bottom, side vents, and dropped tail was the clothing piece of champions.

Then again, it could have been because of his inherent style, skill, and charisma—which made Palmer the spearhead of popularizing golf for the mainstream public, for people other than those on the isolated greens of country club golf courses—that made it inevitable he'd have the combed cotton double-mercerized solid jersey-knit Arnold palmer sports shirt line, with its right chest pocket and half-moon patch.

Whatever the rationale behind the classic clothing change, the name Arnold Palmer, which came in 1929 to a boy in the hard-working class town of industrial Pennsylvania, which followed him to the Latrobe Golf Course where he caddied at eleven, which announced his great potential for a Wake Forest College, North Carolina scholarship, which carried him through the Coast Guard and Golfer of the Year and worldwide championships, is on the signature tape in the neck seam of every Arnold palmer sports shirt. So men can trade in their costumes and flash for subtle, tailored class.
