I agree, the logo is pretty glaring, due to the color contrast. I think you could find something similar from e.g. Brooks Brothers without a logo, or with a more subtle one.

And blue smudge? Ha....ha...?



I would not buy it, I don't like the colour, I am not a fan of cotton sweaters and I don't like logo's.

The style/cut look nice.

I had an older polo in that same/near same color. Looked great with a slim pair of charcoal, flat-front slacks.

Did have one guy ask me if I was captain of the Enterprise.

Not a huge fan of the colour, but I have the same cotton v-neck Polo sweater in pink that I do like, so clicked yes. They fit quite nicely and are fairly durable, though mine has needed one small repair in a 2-3 years of use.

Hrrf. You'd have to wear it a few sizes too small for the full Shatner effect.

I can't wear that color because it washes out my complexion. If you are darker skinned or very light skinned it might look really great though. Especially as part of larger ensemble.

I think I took it off ina hurry one day and the stretching as I pulled it over my head caused the tear. Doubt it's a systemic fault in these sweaters, but there you go.
