Golf polos with a logo: embroidered or printed?
Illustrative imageThe short answer: For a golf polo with a logo, a small embroidered mark on the left chest is the classic choice: it is stitched in thread and suits the texture of pique.
A logo on a golf polo should look like it belongs there. Whether it is a brand mark, a club crest or an event logo, the method, the size and the placement decide whether it looks considered or like a giveaway shirt.
Embroidered or printed#
Embroidery is stitched into the fabric in thread, which gives a raised, textured mark that suits the texture of pique. Printing lays ink on the surface and suits large designs and smooth fabrics. On golf polos, a small embroidered mark is the traditional finish. Every Ninth & Pine polo carries the Ninth mark embroidered small on the left chest.
Where the logo goes#
Left chest is the standard spot on a golf shirt: it reads clearly across the table and stays out of the way of your arms at address. Sleeve and back-of-collar marks are extras, not replacements.
Keep it small#
A logo a few inches wide looks deliberate. A big one turns a polo into a uniform. If your logo has fine lettering, a simpler version stitches more cleanly at a small size.
Caring for an embroidered polo#
Wash it cold and inside out, with similar colors, and never iron directly on the embroidery. How to care for embroidered golf clothes has the full routine.
Polos with your own logo#
For a club, league or event, team orders put your logo on the left chest from 12 pieces, mixing styles, colors and sizes. How to plan team golf shirts walks through timing and sizes.
