Original Penguin celebrates its 70th anniversary with a vintage collection.

Original Penguin®, a division of Perry Ellis International, marks the occasion by launching its 70th anniversary Vintage Collection. This special collection revisits iconic mid-XNUMXth-century styles for the modern man, paying homage to the rich designs from the Munsingwear archive, once worn by golf legends and cultural icons.

Since its launch in 1955, the Original Penguin polo shirt, designed by Munsingwear, has become a symbol of casual American elegance, beloved by athletes and entertainers alike. Golf legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Chi Chi Rodriguez, as well as cultural icons like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Bob Hope, have helped make Pete the Penguin an icon of American style.

Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International, said: “Seventy years ago, we introduced a polo shirt that changed the game not only for golf, but for American style. This carefully crafted collection celebrates that legacy and pays tribute to the players, artists, and everyday men who made Pete the Penguin an icon.”

The 70th anniversary collection fuses the brand's heritage with contemporary craftsmanship, offering versatile pieces that combine vintage details with modern functionality:

Pete's Earl Polo : a modern reinterpretation of the classic
Short Sleeve Heritage Sweater Polo : retro elegance with a breathable touch
Pete's Roadmap Polo : bold and designed for the modern fairway
1/4 Zip Lightweight Pullover : perfect for an early morning start or an evening outing
Flat Front Earl Pant and The Players Short : classic essentials with a refined cut
Technical Earl Polo : alliance of performance and timeless design

Feldenkreis added: “For 70 years, Pete the Penguin has embodied more than just style: he represents confidence, originality, and a touch of attitude. This collection celebrates the generations of men who have made Penguin Polo a part of their history.”

Whether on the course or after a game, the Penguin Polo remains a benchmark for performance and casual elegance. With this 70th anniversary collection, Pete's legacy lives on for those who appreciate tradition, quality, and timeless style.

For 70 years, Original Penguin and its iconic mascot, Pete the Penguin, have been embraced by sports and entertainment icons as an American classic. Today, this emblem remains a symbol of those who know how to be authentic and enjoy the good times.
