Tag details

The term polo is used in a number of different contexts which include:

1) A game game or sport that uses two teams, each with four players. The game is played with the object of scoring points using a goal for each team, a wooden ball, and long handled mallets. Each player is on horseback, making the game more challenging.

2) A game with similar rules and objectives to polo, such as the game water polo, which is similar but does not use horses and is played in the water.

3) A shirt that follows a specific style and offers standard features, called a polo shirt.

The game of polo is one that is popular around the world, especially in certain areas of Europe. This game is typically considered a pastime of the wealthy and privileged, because of the high costs associated with the sport. The uniforms worn by the players include a shirt that has a collar, and a button area right below the neckline in front. This shirt has become an icon of casual business apparel, and is worn by millions of people around the globe.

Water polo is a game that is modeled after the classic version, but this game is played in a pool instead of on the field. Teams must have an equal number of players, and goals are set up at opposite ends of the pool. Instead of a wooden ball and mallets a floating inflatable ball is used, and players use their hands and feet, as well as the action of the water, to try and achieve a goal.
