Polo and Ralph Lauren have similar styles to them. They are both American brand clothes, and they feature riders on horse’s logos. Polo is a subsidiary of the United States Polo Association. The brand was founded in 1981. The brand was meant to exemplify the parallel between fashion and sports, and part of it is that clothes should be comfortable but of good quality.

Polo is a brand licensing retail industry delivering apparel, accessories, eyewear, footwear, housewares, and watches. Its logo features two polo players on their horses. The first rider wears a darker shirt with his mallet over his head, while the rider wears a lighter shirt, and his mallet is lower on the shirt. On the other hand, Ralph Lauren makes the brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Double RL, Ralph Lauren Collection, and Club Monaco.

The American fashion designer Ralph Lauren established the corporation in 1967. The logo of Ralph Lauren is far simpler. It displays only one polo player on his horse with his mallet raised high. The emblem of Ralph Lauren accentuates an entire lifestyle, unlike Polo’s symbol, which is sportier. Ralph Lauren products are also more expensive than Polo, as it personifies the rich preppie style with a twist of elegance in some of the items they distribute.

There are a lot of people who may be confused between Polo and Ralph Lauren because people assume that they are made by the same company. One thing that you will notice is the side where the horses are going to be. The horse of Ralph Lauren will run to the left, while the horse of Polo will run towards the right. You can also look at the logo of these two companies. You will notice that Polo will have two polo players that are on the logo. For Ralph Lauren, there is only one polo player available, and he would be riding a horse. You will also see that for Ralph Lauren, the mallet is raised high above the player’s head.
