[PJ87]

Think you meant unacceptable.

Yes sorry auto correct, unacceptable

Is this thread not done?

So JT rolls up this week in a non branded range of clothing that looks very similar to RL. ?

Sack him from the brand - please the LGBT crowd and set every forum / media platform on fire.

JT launches his own brand which is made by RL.

Win win or am I just a conspiracy theorist?

Someone just asked this on Twitter which is quite interesting-

If Justin Thomas plays in the Olympics, will Ralph Lauren let him wear their clothes?

I hope they allow him and he tells them where they can stick their offer.

I hope he just covers up the branding with gaffer tape, with a Nike tick, or Adidas triangle drawn on with a sharpie.

Would have to be properly badly drawn too, like it was done by a 8 year old.

Proper wonky Nike tick.

Do they sponsor the US team?

I'm guessing that is the point. Different issue. They sponsor, assuming they are the sponsor, the team, not an individual. They don't have a say in team selection.

Isn't there a Nike v Adidas grump most Olympics within high profile people in the US squad, covering a range of sports.

Many years ago in 1992 the Nike athletes on the Dream Team all draped themselves in the US flag to cover their official clothing/sponsor. But that might hinder the golf swing a little ...

And for the world champs the US didn’t select Nick Symmonds over a sponsorship dispute, but that was his choice not to sign something

I believe this is a non-issue, as there will in all likelihood be agreements/contracts in place between Ralph Lauren and the US Olympic Committee that will state they have to supply all the qualifying athletes in the team. As indeed there will be between whoever is making the US Ryder Cup kit and PGA Tour. The bigger issue used to be those athletes sponsored by rival brands whose contracts didn't have any clause for events such as the Olympics. Since this issue arises in golf every year with the Ryder & President's Cups, I'm sure it's already been thought of.

 

[USER1999]

For sure, and I don't think Ralph Lauren will mind one jot.

It's more about JT. If I was him, I would not wear RL again. No chance. They just hung him out to dry on this, while totally ignoring their own short comings.

I am sure JT, professional as he is, would wear it if he qualities for the team, but I wouldn't.

I always find it a bit bizarre when Ryder Cup players suddenly don't wear a cap ?

I always find it bizarre that most of them are bald ?

 

[slowhand]

I always find it a bit bizarre when Ryder Cup players suddenly don't wear a cap ? because it doesn't have their sponsors logo on it.

They've probably worn a cap for every round of golf they've ever played in their life, but then don't wear one. ?‍

I've always thought the opposite. That they're contractually obliged to wear the cap with logo, as it's one of the most visual spots on the telecast, but when freed from that obligation, they prefer not to wear one. After all, if they did want to wear a cap they would still have the team ones to wear.

I once referred to myself as a big-girls-blouse on the golf course in an attempt to curtail impending use of the F word. Should I self impose a forum ban?

No, just throw all of your clothes away, and buy new.

They are only contractually obliged to wear the cap if they sign the contract; if they don't want to wear it then don't sign up, simples.

 

[ForeRight]

Ollie Schniederjans clothing endorsement deal excluded wearing a cap. Mind you, his hair was on a par with Robert Rock's so maybe that had something to do with it.

 

[Orikoru]

I always wear a cap for golf anyway I'm not even sponsored. I might be missing a trick here.

you need some penance. Take the knee and salute the Marxists every day for a week. Watch Owen Jones every night for an hour and start the day by reading the Guardian. You will never say it again!!
