In 1955, Minneapolis-based Munsingwear- an underwear and military supply company – ironically became the touchstone of suburban sport with the introduction of the first iconic golf shirt to America - an ORIGINAL PENGUIN. The now famous ORIGINAL PENGUIN logo has an interesting story behind it. As history tells us, one of Munsingwear's salesmen spotted a flock of penguins in the window of a New York taxidermist - and on what seems like a lark, bought one of the stuffed birds. And before long, the "Pete" the penguin became the official mascot and logo of golf shirts. Its first shirt - the 1955, was an instant golf classic, first to feature an "action guest" or a ribbed slice of fabric on the underarm to avoid rips during even the most enthusiastic golf swing. Currently they have expanded into a stylish production of classic men's board shorts and other apparel.
