Ernie Grey
by Penguin
Original Penguin's 'Ernie Loafer' is a refreshing take on the classic moc loafer look. Double goring for easy slip-on comfort. Rubber sole.
In 1955, Minneapolis-based
Munsingwear – an underwear and military supply company – ironically
became the touchstone of suburban sport with the introduction of the
first iconic golf shirt to America – an ORIGINAL PENGUIN®. The now
famous ORIGINAL PENGUIN logo has an interesting story behind it. As
history tells us, one of Munsingwear’s salesmen spotted a flock of
penguins in the window of a New York taxidermist – and on what seems
like a lark, bought one of the stuffed birds. And before long, the
"Pete" the penguin became the official mascot and logo of golf shirts.
Its first shirt – the 1955, was an instant golf classic, first to
feature an "action gusset" or a ribbed slice of fabric on the underarm
to avoid rips during even the most enthusiastic golf swing.
