Polo Ralph Lauren Flag Sweaters
The Ralph Lauren American flag sweater debuted in 1989. Created out of reverence for the flag and a passion for his homeland, Ralph Lauren designed the US flag sweater as an homage--inspired by the West, the Adirondacks, African Americans, Native Americans, soldiers, and the life he saw as the son of immigrants and a child of the Bronx.
Featuring 13 stars and stripes, the Ralph Lauren flag sweater recalls the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner." Today, the Polo flag sweater has, much like "Old Glory" itself, has become a US symbol worn by individuals and athletes alike. As an official outfitter of the United States Olympic Team, the company has created special iterations of Ralph Lauren flag sweaters for those representing the nation on the world stage, and the classic US flag sweater has been worn by fans of the games to help express their pride in their team and their country.
For those with a penchant for the Polo Bear as well as Ralph Lauren flag sweaters, the Polo Bear crewneck features both--playfully and respectfully rendered, and crafted for years of use.
