With all due respect to Thirstin Howl III, it’s shocking that no rapper has recorded a truly definitive ode to Ralph Lauren’s enduring greatness. Newcomer Dukwon—originally from small town Southern Pines, North Carolina and now repping Jacksonville, Florida—has a pretty good shot at the title with his new joint “Polo” (Ho!), featuring one of Complex’s favorite MCs, Killer Mike. This one’s got all the ingredients of a late-summer banger: a pool party, chicks with croquet mallets and an overdose of some clean-as-hell ’Lo. Sadly, they didn’t get Ralph’s cannonball on tape.

It wasn’t too long ago that Nike iD jumped off a custom craze'it seemed like every company started releasing some sort of customizable product. Problem is, lame gear doesn’t become less lame just because you’ve chosen the colorway and slapped on a few customized graphics. The trend may have played itself out, but when a trusted brand offers the chance to personalize a quality item, we’re reminded why customizing is such a cool idea to begin with.
Enter Rugby Ralph Lauren and its new customizable rugby shirts. We’ve already told you about Rugby’s charitable efforts, but this is a straight style play'four different rugby shirts that you can customize with front chest patches and embroideries and a number on the back. We kinda wish there were more design choices, but even minus the graphics, these shirts are fresh to death. See below for pictures of the four styles, Buy It Now information and the free rugby ball you’ll get with your purchase…
Whether or not you know shit about the actual game, nothing beats a sturdy rugby addition to your wardrobe in the fall. And Rugby Ralph Lauren makes 'em even more appealing with their new Match Rugby initiative, which raises funds to support young social entrepreneurs. To kick off the project, Rugby released an exclusive shirt (shown above), along with collabos with TOMS shoes and FEED projects, this past weekend. Each season they’ll be unveiling new limited edition Match gear and giving up to half the proceeds to a special fund.
