The Best LSU Polo Shirts for Men: A Golf and Gameday Guide
Walk into Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night and you will see a lot of purple and gold.
The noise, the crowd, the whole place shaking before kickoff. That kind of pride deserves better than a cotton tee from the parking lot. It deserves an LSU polo shirt you can wear to the tailgate, the office on Friday and the first tee on Sunday morning.
Most LSU polo shirts fall into one of two camps. Some look sharp but feel stiff and hot. Others feel comfortable but start to look like a giveaway shirt by the third wash.
This guide covers what separates a great men's LSU polo from the rest, walks through all six designs in the Warner Safari LSU Tigers collection, and answers the sizing and care questions fans ask most.
What Makes a Great Men's LSU Polo?
Before you pick a print, check the basics. A good LSU mens polo gets five things right.
It starts with official licensing. That means the logos and marks are approved by LSU, the colors are true, and part of every sale goes back to the university. If a polo does not say officially licensed, it probably is not.
The fabric has to breathe and stretch. Baton Rouge in September is no joke. Every Warner Safari LSU polo is made from Safari Swag™ fabric, a 92% polyester and 8% spandex blend with 4-way stretch. It wicks sweat, dries fast and is not see-through, so you stay comfortable from the noon tailgate to the fourth quarter.
It should block the sun. Louisiana sun is brutal on a golf course or in an open-air stadium. Safari Swag™ carries a UPF 50 rating, which helps protect your skin through 18 holes or a full day of gameday.
The collar needs to hold its shape. Nothing ruins a polo faster than a curled, wavy "bacon collar." A self-collar built to keep its shape means your shirt looks as sharp in December as it did in August.
And the print has to stay crisp. Cheap screen prints crack and fade. A quality microprint stays vivid wash after wash, so your purple stays purple and your gold stays gold.
Shop the Collection: 6 LSU Polo Shirts Worth Owning
The Warner Safari LSU polo lineup has six officially licensed designs, each $64 in sizes Small through 3XL.
The LSU Tiger Gameday Polo is the one fans grab first. Its microprint is packed with iconic Tiger symbols you catch up close, while from across the tailgate it reads as a clean, sharp polo. One reviewer at 6'1" and 190 pounds called it his favorite LSU shirt and said it feels like a $100 polo.
If you want your school colors front and center, the LSU Purple & Gold Polo is it. Purple and gold work together in a bold pattern that still looks put together. It is also the most reviewed LSU polo in the collection, with 16 five-star reviews.
The LSU Tiger Safari Polo is where wild meets refined. A purple base with gold and white graphics gives it real personality without shouting, which makes it a strong pick for anyone who wants a shirt that moves from the 18th green to dinner.
The LSU Tiger Bait Polo flips the script with a white base and a purple LSU logo pattern. White stays cooler under the sun, so this one is a smart choice for early-season games and summer rounds.
The LSU Tigers Polo keeps things understated. A purple geometric pattern with the LSU logo on the chest gives you team pride that fits right in at the office or a client round of golf.
The newest addition, the LSU Neon Nightlife Polo, puts neon purple and gold LSU icons on a sleek black base. The colors are inspired by retro neon signs and pop under blacklight, though the shirt does not actually glow in the dark. See the rest of the lineup in the Neon Nightlife Collection.
Why These LSU Golf Polos Are the Best
The 4-way stretch moves with you on the backswing instead of pulling across your shoulders. Moisture-wicking fabric pulls sweat off your skin through a humid Louisiana round, and UPF 50 protection helps when there is no shade on the back nine.
The details matter too. There is no itchy neck tag to distract you over a 4-foot putt. The 2-button placket and crisp collar meet most course dress codes, while the microprint gives your foursome something to talk about.
These shirts have been tested through hundreds of rounds and countless gamedays so the logo colors stay bright and the design stays crisp. Golf course tested, gameday proven.
How to Style LSU Polo Shirts From Tailgate to Nightlife
One good LSU polo covers a lot of ground.
For gameday in Death Valley, pair the Tiger Gameday or Purple & Gold Polo with khaki shorts, a purple or gold cap and clean white sneakers. When the November chill rolls in for a night game, layer a quarter-zip over the top and you are set until the final whistle.
For Friday at the office, tuck the LSU Tigers Polo or Tiger Safari Polo into navy or gray chinos with a brown leather belt and loafers. It is team spirit your boss will approve of, and it still looks right if the afternoon turns into a happy hour.
On the golf course, go untucked with golf shorts or tucked with performance pants for a more polished look. The white Tiger Bait Polo is a strong choice on the hottest days of the year.
For Saturday night out, the Neon Nightlife Polo with dark jeans and boots turns heads downtown, whether you are celebrating a win or just enjoying the night.
