Ralph Lauren isn't even affiliated with the sport of Polo though. And whoever said they cost $30 for the USPA, I don't know where you shop but http://www.sears.com/shc/...10944&ci_sku=04175974012 they are 14.99 and even cheaper now because of the sale then the multiples discount and then you get some coupon for something irrelevant like tools or some %**+ , can't beat Sears for the one stop shopping.

he U.S. Polo Assn. brand is the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), the governing body of the sport of polo since 1890.

^ Last time I did more than a glance at USPA was over a year back and they were running for that price in a store in the mall.

If you want to wear USPA, do you but you've been given some reasons why people choose RL instead.
 
Yea I'm satisfied. Everybody's gonna be trying to make fun of me but I'll say, "Jokes on you, I bought every color in the rainbow for less than you paid for one," and will have won that argument, same thing if kats got a problem with my Dickies with the mean starch crease down each leg.
 
I'll speak for myself, I don't care what other men wear. So if you rock USPA on a daily basis, good for you.

PS. I hate typing USPA because I keep typing USPS first.

the jokes on you trust me.  plus you won't do it.  I'll believe you if you start a thread and post your USPA collection.
 
I'm with you dude. I dont see no difference. Its all in the name. Guys just dress for other guys. You ask most chicks and they won't even know the difference between the two. Just like most dudes wouldn't be abble to tell the difference between Monolo shoes and payless. If a chicks hot, she's hot. You don't care what she's wearing and more often than not, they don't care what you are either.

Word? Is this local like one of those House of Hoops only type deals or national? Good thing I have a huge closet because my wardrobe game is about to get a huge upgrade. If this was a vbulletin board I'd give you kudos for putting me up onto game.

How was he granted a NT screenname?
 
Wear what you want, bro.
Unless you're going some place where you gotta dress appropriately
or work it really doesn't matter lol.

That being said...I usually just stick with the logo-less cashmere sweaters
and find Lacoste polos/shirts/pull-overs have deeper color and fit better than RL.

By the way for those who wanna know the story behind those fly flip flops; all the hoopers was copping the Jordan slides for 'walk in/walk out of the gym then change into your hooping shoes' shoes. So I'm a baller, I goes to the mall to see about getting me some. They're like $42. Stoneface and walk out. Cut to later in the day I'm in the supermarket buying some apples to make a pie or some @+!@ and I see these for like 3 bucks. Again, I can buy like 14 pair for the same price, and again, same Chinese factory workers I am sure. Jokes on everyone else who paid so much more.

want me to take the same pic and write my name, Derrick, on a piece of paper or something? I negated doing that because Monstar knows I am a Thunder fan and could put the 2 things together. BTW, Faded Glory shirts you get at Wal Mart for maybe 8 bucks. Great deal.

at in line for the Yeezys. I live in Oklahoma, have never seen them though maybe 1 of the OKC malls or stores has them. I am actually in bed because I have to be at work in less than 7 hrs but my insomnia, sedentary lifestyle, and resultant out of control weight make sleeping through a full night impossible. I don't know what I said that was so hard to believe anyways. Has our culture become so materialistic that people are nonbelievin when someone is questioning the hype? #1stworldproblems when people want to clown that your otherwise identical cotton shirt has a marginally different looking horse on it.
