Original Penguin By Munsingwear Triads I

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.

An ORIGINAL PENGUIN® by Munsingwear became a staple among the masters of suburban leisure well into the 1980s. In 2003, an ORIGINAL PENGUIN® was recreated by a group of people who love great style and smart clothing.
