At the 2020 US Open, New York City’s unsung heroes will be taking center stage as Ralph Lauren honors frontline workers.
The names of over 150 individual essential workers from New York City’s Mount Sinai Health System will be emblazoned on the backs of each of the 2020 ball person uniforms, in recognition of their incredible efforts in the battle against COVID-19 in New York City. The full list of honorees can be found below.
Ralph Lauren is also gifting a shirt to each of the 150-plus frontline workers with their own last name on the back as a thank you for their participation and their tremendous work.
The 2020 US Open Polo Shirt was created through Polo’s “Create-Your-Own” program, which allows customers to create fully customized apparel, and is available for purchase online at RalphLauren.com and on the Polo App for the duration of the tournament.
All on-court US Open staff will also wear the Polo High-Filtration Face Mask. The specially designed mask is constructed to filter out 95 percent of airborne particles, with replaceable filters, and is treated with an anti-microbial coating to preserve fabric freshness. One-hundred percent of the profits from the sale of the masks will be donated to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, powered by the United Nations Foundation.
Polo Ralph Lauren has been the official outfitter of the US Open since 2005, providing uniforms for all on-court officials and ball persons.
Thank you, frontline workers!
