Ralph Lauren Polo Tribute Sweater




























One of the more unique items I have, this speciality high-end sweater is Polo brand produced by Ralph Lauren. Clearly a tribute to 9/11, it has various symbols, including a map of the US, a fire truck, flag, Red Cross symbol, Statue of Liberty, firefighter hat, and RL02 (ralph lauren). Truly a great clothing item that retailed for hundreds of dollars, the sweater certainly is very unique and makes a patriotic and commemorative statement. Another great example of the influence of 9/11 and how it motivated or inspired companies to react and reflect to this event, as well as engage and motivate customers.
