Sergio Tacchini Supermac Polo Shirt

The Sergio Tacchini Supermac Polo Celebrates The American Tennis Legend

The Sergio Tacchini Supermac polo shirt was an original Tacchini style as famously worn by the American tennis legend, John McEnroe, in the early 1980s.

If there was ever the perfect athlete to take Sergio Tacchini's style driven vision of tennis apparel to the next level it was John McEnroe. In Tachini's eyes the days of traditional tennis whites were yesterdays news and who better to endorse Tacchini's vision than Supermac himself. It was the rock 'n' roll tennis star that took Tacchini to the next level of sportswear stardom with his numerous Grand Slam titles & wild centre court antics. The original track tops & polo shirts worn by McEnroe throughout this magical era have gone down in casual history as some of the very greatest sportswear styles of all time. As far as retro sportswear goes from the 1980s it really doesn't much get better. The Sergio Tacchini Supermac polo shirt is another one of them very special styles worn by the American tennis legend and now arrives at 80s Casual Classics in some updated colourways.

There were numerous original McEnroe styles from the early 1980s that were worn by the German born tennis player. Just like football teams had matching warm up jackets to go with their kits, for tennis players of the late 1970s & early 1980s it was no different. If McEnroe had a polo shirt there would always be a matching track top to go with it. For example the New Young Line polo shirt had the New Young Line track top & the Blow polo shirt had the Davis Cup Ghibli track top. In the case of the Supermac polo shirt it was the Dallas track top. McEnroe famously wore the Supermac polo shirt during the US Open in 1981, beating Bjorn Borg in the final to take his 3rd Grand Slam title of the year. The American tennis legend was also seen wearing the iconic Tacchini polo shirt on the cover of his autobiography from 1982 by Richard Evans. As with the majority of the original McEnroe stuff from the era the demand was huge and the original Casuals couldn't get enough of it.
