Magnum's tennis polo

Can anyone recognise the logo on the polo?

I'm pretty sure that's the logo of a New Zealand company called Canterbury. They're famous for making high quality rugby shirts.

Here's a link to their US website.

OK, I just looked closer and now I think I'm mistaken... It looks like a moustache and monocle sort of thing. Almost looks like the pringles guy!

Wow. An extremely obscure polo shirt!

That's a John Newcombe tennis polo. He's a famous Australian tennis player with a mustache to rival Selleck's.

Even has his own ranch: http://www.newktennis.com/

Well done Dan, I love obscure details like that!
It just goes to prove there must have been an extremely well-connected and educated person on the research team... I love these details!!

Thankfully we have some Aussies in the forum or this one would have probably remained a mystery.

Cheers Dan.
