Polo Ralph Lauren - Official Outfitter


The global partnership between Polo Ralph Lauren and the All England Lawn Tennis Club names Ralph Lauren the first designer in the history of The Championships to outfit all Wimbledon on-court officials. This partnership continues Polo Ralph Lauren's longstanding support of exceptional athletes and history-making sporting events.

Launched during the 2006 season, the new uniforms for chair and line umpires feature classic navy blazers and cream-coloured pants. Ball persons are outfitted in signature navy polos and sporty skirts or shorts. The Polo-designed uniforms, accented in the Club's official colors of purple and green, recall an era of elegance in tennis and uphold the traditions of the institution of Wimbledon.

"What began as a collection of ties in 1967 has grown into an entire world, redefining international style. Polo has always stood for quality products, creating lifestyles and inviting people to take part in our dream." Ralph Lauren

The Polo Ralph Lauren tradition of luxury and time-honoured style continues.
