Polo Ralph Lauren has become the official sponsor of the Black Watch
polo team and its star player (and longtime Ralph Lauren model) Nacho
Figueras. This is the first move by the apparel company into
sponsorship of a
sports team, although previous sponsorships include events like
the U.S. Open golf players like Luke Donald, Jonathan Bird, and Tom
Watson.
The company is also selling match shirts for Black Watch fans that are
embroidered with Nacho Figueras' number 2 on the shoulder. Igueras is
also the best known polo player in the U.S. due in part to
that modeling experience.
