A practical buying guide to Rhoback destination and state print polos, covering sizing, fit, styling, and when to choose a novelty print over a solid performance polo.
Quick answer
Rhoback destination and state polos run in a sharp comfort fit that works tucked or untucked, so most guys should start with their normal polo size and only size up if they want a looser, untucked drape. Choose a destination or state print when you want the polo to carry the outfit; choose a solid performance polo when the polo needs to disappear into a rotation. Both share the same breathable, moisture-wicking, four-way stretch build with a crisp collar, wrinkle-free material, and UPF sun protection.
Destination and state polos vs. solid performance polos
The real difference between a destination or state print polo and a solid performance polo is not fabric, it is function. The print does the talking, which means the rest of your outfit should stay quiet: solid shorts, solid pants, neutral shoes. A solid polo does the opposite job. It blends into a rotation and lets your hat, belt, or shoes carry the personality. If you already own several solid performance polos, a destination or state print is the piece that makes the same silhouette feel new. If you are building a rotation from scratch, buy two solids first, then add a print.
How to read Rhoback polo sizing before you order
Rhoback polos are described as a sharp comfort fit that can also be worn untucked, which is the key sizing clue. That phrasing means the body is trim enough to look intentional tucked in, but not so tight that it pulls across the chest when you leave it out. Start with the size you wear in other performance polos. If you are between sizes, the deciding question is how you will wear it most: tucked in favors your smaller size, untucked with room to move favors your larger size.
The catalog records for these polos do not list a numeric chest or length measurement, so do not guess at one. Use the available option types, Color and Size, plus the fit description, and treat the first order as a fit test. If you are ordering a destination polo for a specific trip or event, order early enough to exchange rather than gambling on a size the week you leave.
Styling rules that keep a print polo from looking loud
One print, one focal point. A destination or state polo already draws the eye, so keep everything below it solid and in a color pulled from the print itself. For gameday or collegiate prints, lean into the team palette rather than fighting it. The crisp collar that holds its shape and the wrinkle-free material do most of the work here, which is why these polos travel well: they come out of a bag looking presentable without a steamer.
- Tucked in: pair with a belt and tailored shorts or chinos for a clubhouse or event look.
- Untucked: pair with performance shorts and low-profile sneakers for tailgates and travel days.
- Layering: a long sleeve performance polo in a solid color is the better base layer when you need sleeves, since it will not compete with a print.
- Color matching: pull one secondary color from the print for your hat or belt, and keep the rest neutral.
Where each polo actually earns its place
Destination and state prints are event clothing. They are at their best at a tailgate, a game, a golf trip, a bachelor weekend, or any setting where the point is to signal where you are or who you support. Solid performance polos are daily clothing. They handle the office-to-course transition, repeated wear, and pairing with almost anything. The overlap is the shared build: breathable fabric with moisture-wicking and four-way stretch, a collar that holds its shape, wrinkle-free material, and UPF sun protection. You are choosing a look, not a performance tier.
Decision rules for buying a destination or state polo
- Buy the print if the event is the point: If you are dressing for a specific game, trip, or tailgate, a destination or state print does the work a solid polo cannot. Match it to the place or team and keep the rest of the outfit solid. One print per outfit, maximum.
- Buy a solid if you need it to work five days a week: A solid performance polo in a neutral color will get worn far more often than a novelty print. If your closet is thin, solids first. Prints are additions, not foundations.
- Size on how you will wear it: The sharp comfort fit is designed to work tucked or untucked. Tucked in, take your normal size. Untucked with extra room, take the larger size if you are between sizes. Order early enough to exchange before the event.
- Choose the long sleeve when the weather decides: The long sleeve performance polo uses the same breathable, moisture-wicking, four-way stretch build with UPF sun protection, so it is the better pick for cool mornings or full sun when you want coverage. Sleeves solve weather, prints solve occasions.
Product facts that shape the decision
- The LSU Gameday | Collegiate Polo | The LSU Gameday - Reauxback Purple/Honey Gold: The LSU Gameday Collegiate Polo is built for activity with breathable fabric, moisture-wicking and four-way stretch technology, a crisp collar that holds its shape, wrinkle-free material, and UPF sun protection, in a sharp comfort fit that can also be worn untucked. This is the gameday answer: the print carries team identity while the build handles heat, movement, and a full day outside without looking rumpled.
- The Whaler Heather Stripe | Performance Polo | The Whaler Heather Stripe - Fleet Navy/White: The Whaler Heather Stripe Performance Polo uses breathable fabric with moisture-wicking and four-way stretch technology, a crisp collar that holds its shape, wrinkle-free material, and UPF sun protection, made to be worn on the course or around town. A striped performance polo is the middle ground: more visual interest than a solid, less committed than a destination or state print, so it works in more settings.
The Whaler Heather Stripe | Performance Polo | The Whaler Heather Stripe - Fleet Navy/White - Heather | Long Sleeve Performance Polo | Heather - Potomac Blue/Baby Blue: The Heather Long Sleeve Performance Polo shares the breathable, moisture-wicking, four-way stretch build with a crisp collar, wrinkle-free material, and UPF sun protection, made for the course or around town. When you want coverage rather than a print, the long sleeve version solves the same problem without competing with a destination polo you already own.
Who the destination and state polo fit is for
Best for
- Guys who want one polo that signals a team, school, or destination at a game, tailgate, or trip
- Shoppers who wear polos both tucked and untucked and want a sharp comfort fit that handles both
- Anyone building a rotation who already owns solid performance polos and wants a print to add variety
Not for
- Shoppers who need a single do-everything polo for work and everyday wear, who should choose a solid performance polo instead
- Buyers who want a loose, oversized fit, since the sharp comfort fit is intentionally trimmer than a relaxed cut
- Anyone who needs a specific numeric chest or length measurement before ordering, because these catalog records do not list one
