Original Penguin
ICONS, LEGENDS AND HEROES ALL HAVE AN ORIGINAL STORY. THIS IS OURS.
In 1955, a sportswear icon was born from the most unusual of places. Fueled by
whiskey and a delayed flight, Abbot Pederson purchased an unlikely drinking
buddy for his flight home in the form of a stuffed penguin he named Pete.
At some point during the flight, and after another cocktail or three, he
accidentally knocked the head off Pete the Penguin. A stewardess on-board the
flight wrapped a necktie around the Penguins neck and quipped ‘He would look
good on a shirt’ which led Pederson to embroider this character on his new
shirts. An Icon was born.
