The Sergio Tacchini Orion polo shirt draws inspiration from the original biker style track top which marked the pinnacle of style driven sportswear in the 1980s.
If you've been watching a bit of Wimbledon this year you've probably seen a let's say a slightly older looking John McEnroe commentating on the games. Slightly is probably a bit of an understatement he looks old, we all get older, it's sadly part of life but modern day McEnroe is a far cry from the headband clad have a go if you're think hard enough tennis superstar of the 1980s. The irony is the tennis gear he wore hasn't really aged. The original Tacchini tracktops he wore just look just as fresh today. A man might age 40 years but does a Tacchini track top? Not really, which is why 80s sportswear will always be timeless, it will always be used as inspiration for modern day designers and it will look just as cool today as it back it in 1982. OG tennis styles like the Sergio Tacchini Orion played a pivotal role in Tacchini's vision for style driven sportswear. The classic track top now arrives in an updated polo shirt form, with the introduction of the Sergio Tacchini Orion polo shirt just in time for the tennis!

The origins of the Sergio Tacchini Orion track top goes back to the 1980s, in particularly the early 80s with the Avalon Split Star, a more style driven version of the Sergio Tacchini Star track top which was famously worn by John McEnroe. The classic track top was also available in a caf_ racer version which featured a biker style collar just like Fila did with the Terrinda in 1982. The OG 80s tracksuit was a testament to Tacchini's vision of a fashionable sportswear brand with the pastel blue & yellow colourways of the iconic tennis style becoming a key look among the casual elite of the 1980s.

You might also recognise the Orion from Nick Love's The Firm from 2009, a key wardrobe style from the film that was famously worn by Bex played by Paul Anderson & Dom played by Callum MacNab. Revived from the Tacchini archives in celebration of the release of The Firm, the Orion has remained a key track top style at 80s Casual Classics ever since with its OG pastel colourways as well as the revival of the original caf_ racer version.
