The USPA had been around a long, long time before Lauren horned in on the name of the sport to identify his aspirational brand. How old is the USPA symbol, anyway? And it's not like Lauren designed the shapes of his sportswear from scratch, either (wasn't the polo shirt originally the Lacoste tennis shirt? And a lot of the "classic" menswear items have been around a long time, designed by other people). If a creaky old sports association with wealth connotations now wants to elbow in on the successful vibe Lauren borrowed, well. . .. Well, perhaps Lauren shouldn’t throw stones.

It took me years to realize that they were two seperate brands! So, I think Ralph Lauren is more concerned with the confusion that's bound to arise.

It's like if I made a rule that no one else could be called Daisy, because I"m Daisy !! hey, not a bad idea.....
