Original Penguin Golf® by Munsingwear®, a division of Perry Ellis International, is proud to highlight that brand ambassadors Brian Campbell, Johnny Keefer and Nico Echavarria will be showcasing Original Penguin’s heritage and style at the U.S. Open, June 12-15 at Oakmont Country Club, as Original Penguin celebrates 70 years of the Original Good Times.
These ambassadors will be outfitted in Original Penguin’s soft to the touch and lightweight performance polos, pullovers and pants. On Friday, Campbell, Echavarria, and Keefer will take the course wearing the Technical Earl Polo—a modern performance update to a style that elevated golf fashion.
Fusing heritage style with technical innovation, the Technical Earl Polo is engineered for peak performance while honoring the brand’s storied legacy. Worn by ambassadors who embody Original Penguin’s confident and irreverent spirit, the look is sure to stand out on one of golf’s biggest stages.
“We’re proud to see our ambassadors wearing the iconic Original Penguin Earl Polo at the U.S. Open,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “It’s a timeless piece that represents both our heritage and our commitment to bold, modern style on and off the course.”
Since its debut in 1955, the Original Penguin polo — created by Munsingwear — has stood as a symbol of effortless American sophistication and quickly became a go-to for both athletes and entertainers. Golf legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Chi Chi Rodriguez, as well as cultural icons including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Bob Hope, embraced the look —helping to cement Pete the Penguin as a symbol of a cool, confident American style.
For over 70 years, Original Penguin, and its namesake icon Pete the Penguin, has been adorned and adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic. Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original and what you wear for the good times.
