[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 620371, member: 3766"] Or any of FootJoy's performance polo line. No performance polo (aka polyester or polyester/lycra blend) should ever have to be ironed, if you hang it up to dry right out of the wash. We (golf) have an entire industry of high performance polos intended to be worn in hot conditions, very breathable, and tailored to allow movement and still have a good looking fit, of which ironically Adidas is a part of. Granted, even those Adidas aren't the best (RLX, Under Armour, FootJoy, and a slew of European labels would be), but these GameMode and other styles used for collegiate teams are, at best, their entry level/"club"/basic/tournament level stuff in golf. Basically a cheap, quickly available piece (like the give-aways you get in golf tournaments you participate in) that can be logoed for the golf course/golf club at a low cost. Boxy, baggy generic cut, low grade materials, not tailored at all. Adidas isn't using anything near their highest quality polo models for the collegiate stuff, but are charging a premium price for them, because...honestly...they can. Captive audience...where else are you going to get what your team wears? To follow typical/standard retail pricing, a $75 GameMode polo has a wholesale price of $37.50. At a wholesale of that price, I can get a very high quality FootJoy (I know this isn't a "collegiate" brand, but it's a very high quality shirt...golf industry leading apparel label) "Athletic Fit" model shirt that simply blows the GameMode away in terms of looks, fit, feel, and wearability. To compare, look at the Under Armour or even the Nike GT polos in the bookstore. They aren't their top of the line models either, but are much, much better quality than the highest priced Adidas GT polos. And are priced right around what their actual golf polo counterparts would be. The gold Under Armour shirt with "GT" on the left chest is the best polo in the store in terms of quality and even in fit in my "semi-"professional opinion. [/QUOTE]
