Saturdays NYC Fades Lacoste’s “L.12.12” Polo Into a Six-Color Custom Collaboration

Summary

Saturdays NYC has partnered with LACOSTE to create a special version of their classic L.12.12 polo shirt. The new polo has been specially washed to give it a worn-in, vintage feel and is available in six different colors. It also features Saturdays NYC’s logo and their signature stripe detail.

Saturdays NYC has reimagined the classic Lacoste L.12.12 polo shirt with a unique collaboration. The New York brand updated this timeless tennis shirt with subtle branding and a special finishing process, creating a limited-edition version of an iconic menswear staple.

This project centers around a unique take on Lacoste’s classic L.12.12 polo shirt. Saturdays NYC begins with the standard polo and then gives it a special wash and fade, creating a comfortably worn-in feel, as if it’s been a favorite for years—even though it’s brand new. This process softens the typically crisp and polished look of French sportswear, giving it a more relaxed and lived-in vibe that fits the brand’s urban style.

The collaboration’s branding cleverly combines both identities. On the chest, “S.N.Y.C.” is positioned right under Lacoste’s iconic crocodile logo – a subtle way for Saturdays NYC to make its mark while respecting the original design. A small slash icon, the brand’s signature, appears on the sleeve, adding a touch of detail without being overly noticeable. These understated details allow the unique wash and color of the polo shirt to really stand out.

The collection offers a variety of styles and colors. The polo shirt is available in six options – White, Black, Navy, Green, Wine, and Dark Brown – including classic neutrals and deeper, more interesting shades. It comes in sizes Small through Extra Large, and a special fade finish ensures that each color has a unique look, adding variety to the entire collection.

The Lacoste customized by Saturdays NYC SS Polo is available now via Saturdays NYC.
