A Fresh Spin on Court Classics Meets Modern Performance Innovation

#OriginalGoodTime

(Miami, FL) — Original Penguin® by Munsingwear®, a division of Perry Ellis International, the renowned lifestyle brand recognized for its timeless style and contemporary flair, proudly highlights its Spring 2025 Racquet Collection for men and women set to take the court at Roland-Garros. With a vibrant blend of heritage-inspired design and contemporary performance, this line caters to the fast-growing world of racquet sports—on and off the court.

Rooted in a rich legacy that began in 1955, Original Penguin continues to merge function and fashion with pieces designed for modern athletes and enthusiasts. The Spring 2025 Racquet Collection upholds that tradition, incorporating high-performance fabrics and court-conscious cuts with a nod to the brand’s storied past and playful aesthetic.

“Our legacy is about combining confident style with authentic sport heritage,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “This collection brings that spirit to a new generation of tennis players, offering pieces that perform on the court and stand out beyond it. It’s classic Original Penguin — elevated, expressive, and built to move. Our customers can expect premium quality, timeless style, and an edge of nostalgia that only Original Penguin can deliver.”

Original Penguin brand ambassadors Ajla Tomljanović, Mackenzie McDonald, and Jodie Burrage are all set to compete at Roland-Garros, bringing both talent and style to the clay courts.


Ajla will take the court in the elegant Floral Jacquard Tank Dress, offering a sophisticated and athletic look while Jodie will sport the sleek Color Block Tank with Mesh paired with the Floral Jacquard Skort, combining performance with a bold design. Mackenzie will wear the Performance Tennis Ombre Block Crew and the Performance Solid Print Short, delivering standout style with high-performance features.

The 2025 Men’s Collection introduces retro-infused polos with contrast piping, moisture-wicking stretch shorts, and zip-up warm-up jackets with bold graphic accents—all featuring Original Penguin’s iconic Pete the Penguin logo.

The Women’s Collection makes a strong statement with pleated skorts, mesh-paneled tanks, and cropped tops in a palette of bright pastels and grounded neutrals. Smart tailoring and sweat-wicking fabric technologies create flattering silhouettes that are just as suited for a competitive match as they are for an après-court brunch.

Key innovations across both collections include:

  • 360° Stretch Performance Fabric for enhanced mobility
  • Cooling Mesh Panels for breathability during high-intensity rallies
  • UPF 50+ Protection for all-day outdoor play
  • Eco-Friendly Materials as part of Original Penguin’s continued commitment to sustainability

The Original Penguin Spring 2025 Racquet Collection is available now at select retailers, OriginalPenguin.com, and pro shops nationwide.

Original Penguin and Pete the Penguin have left their mark on a league of legends. For over 70 years, our namesake bird has been adorned and adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic. Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original.
