Donald Ross Sportswear: How We Name Our Products

If you have been a longtime fan of Donald Ross Sportswear, then you are familiar with the unique and interesting names that are attached to our luxury golf apparel. Did you know that each product is carefully named after a piece of Donald Ross history?

In this article, we will reveal the secret to how Donald Ross Sportswear generates names for their products. Learn more about the brand to reveal a deeper history of the famous golf architect himself, Donald Ross.

The Origins of the Classic Fit

If you favor Donald Ross Sportswear’s golf polos with a roomier fit and more relaxed feel, then you are most likely familiar with our Classic Fit line. It may come as a surprise that our Classic Fit pieces are actually titled after towns in which Donald Ross courses were created.

Take our Winchester Classic golf polo as an example. This chic, stylish golf polo shares its name with the Winchester Country Club, located in Winchester, Massachusetts. Originating as a nine-hole layout by Alexander Findlay in 1903, the Winchester Country Club began collaborating with Donald Ross only six years after its establishment. This went on to develop into a partnership that carried until the 1930s, leaving the Winchester Country Club with a historically beautiful course design that lives to this day

The Secrets Behind the SPORT Fit

Those who love a tailored fit with breathable and four-way stretch are fans of Donald Ross Sportswear’s SPORT Fit product line. Unbeknownst to some SPORT Fit shoppers, each of these performance golf shirts actually correspond to a Scottish name, allowing us to uphold Donald Ross’s Scottish heritage in our brand.

The Byron SPORT golf polo is a perfect indicator to this trend. While “Byron” is most popularly known as the Anglo-Scots Lord Byron’s name, this SPORT golf polo comes with a duality. As we honor Scottish heritage we also honor golf history, as the name Byron is also shared by famous American professional golfer, Byron Nelson, who was alive and playing during Donald Ross’s golden era.
