Maserati & La Martina have collaborated for the fourth year to conduct the global polo tour with the UK match being the third of five matches on the calendar. The 2017 season spans nine months, covering two global continents.
To celebrate the prestigious tournament, La Martina designed a special silk polo shirt for Maserati team players. Alongside the exclusive shirts worn by Team Maserati, La Martina has produced a special Beaufort Edition polo shirt which has been released to celebrate the UK leg of the Maserati Polo tour. The shirt features La Martina and Maserati logos embroidered in a Lurex thread, with a textured Union Jack flag printed in an iridescent gun metal effect on the front.
The Maserati Polo Tour continues on 22 July with the start of the “46° Torneo Internacional de Polo” at the Santa Marìa Polo Club in Sotogrande, Spain.
