Polo Ralph Lauren Unveils New US Open Collection

The countdown to Flushing Meadows is on, and if the tennis obsessive in your life has seemed a little distant this week, there’s a reason. The US Open is roaring into view, gathering speed like a Jannik Sinner forehand drilled down the line.

While the players fine-tune their games for the season’s final Grand Slam, the off-court warm-up has already begun. Polo Ralph Lauren, a long-time style pillar of the tournament, has rolled out its latest US Open collection — and this year’s drop is anything but a routine hold of serve.

For years, Polo has been one of the official merchandise partners of the Open. This time, they’ve gone big: more than 60 pieces, all directly tied to the tournament. On paper, that kind of volume sounds repetitive. In reality, it’s the opposite. The range has more variety than Carlos Alcaraz’s shot selection.

There’s hyper-technical on-court gear for those who actually step between the lines, built for movement and heat. There’s vintage-inspired knitwear that looks like it belongs in a sepia-toned archive photo from Forest Hills. The exact uniforms worn by chair umpires and ball kids are in the mix too, for anyone who wants to mirror the look they see on court, not just the players.

Then come the staples: classic tees, embroidered button-ups, the sort of pieces that quietly anchor a wardrobe but still carry the charge of New York’s late-summer spotlight. It’s all unmistakably Polo, but filtered through the specific electricity of the US Open — night sessions, hard courts, and a soundtrack of constant noise.

What lands on the rack doesn’t feel like standard-issue merch. The collection is too considered, too broad, too dialed-in to be dismissed as a simple souvenir run. It plays more like a full style capsule built around one of the sport’s most chaotic, glamorous fortnights.

There is, however, one problem. Time. The first balls will be tossed in a matter of days, and the collection is already disappearing quickly. If you want in — whether it’s the performance gear, the retro knits, or the same kit the officials wear — you won’t have long before the shelves start to look like an empty baseline after match point.
