Since 2005, Ralph Lauren has been an integral part of the US Open, adorning over 215 on-court officials and 400 ball crew members in its signature style. Beyond the courts, the brand introduces a special US Open collection that captures the essence of the tournament, offering a range of apparel and accessories for men, women, and children.
This year, Ralph Lauren’s presence at the US Open is a testament to the brand’s ability to seamlessly fuse contemporary design with performance-enhancing fabrics and meticulous details. The Ralph Lauren ball crew Polo, a centerpiece of the collection, draws inspiration from vintage rugby stripes. These classic stripes intertwine with vibrant shades of navy, yellow, and green, underscoring the brand’s commitment to modern aesthetics while paying homage to its timeless heritage.

Two new sunglass and eyeglass styles feature the iconic Pony player and the US Open logos, elegantly presented in navy and tortoise colorways. Continuing its dedication to sustainability, Ralph Lauren crafts the ball crew Polo using yarns derived from recycled plastic bottles, further exemplifying the brand’s eco-conscious approach to fashion. Collaborating with Wilson, Ralph Lauren will also champion sustainability by collecting plastic tennis ball cans during the tournament for recycling, demonstrating their commitment to a circular production process.
