Founded in 2000, the mission for PRISA is to bring exclusive sport gear to athletes.

In the sport of polo, we are innovators where tradition has dominated. Our fresh approach to the sport, giving athletes what they truly need and want to perform at optimum levels, has helped us become a recognized symbol both on and off the field.

PRISA was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Prince and Sara developed name concepts and the two settled on PRISA, the romantic combination of their two names as well as Spanish for “speed”. The two heads, designed by Prince, in the style of classic Greco Roman male and female athletes complete the logo. So there was the identity. What next?

We started the brand at the top, specifically, outfitting Indios Chapaleufu II for the triple crown of polo in Argentina. An amazing team, playing in world class tournaments-talk about a challenge! Chapa II, long time friends of Prince, approached him with the idea of PRISA being the clothing supplier for the high season in Argentina. All agreed that PRISA could take polo in a new direction with styling and fabric typical of sports in the modern age, but not found in polo at that time. Prince came up with a unique inaugural design and, for an added twist, used roman numerals, something that the team continues to use. Additionally he created a V (5) jersey for their alternate player another new concept. The season ended with Indio Chapaleufu II winning the Argentine Open in Palermo, the most prestigious polo tournament in the world. What started as a fun little project became a new tradition between the team, the brand and the sport of polo.

In 2004 we began to expand the brand outside of Argentina, specifically by approaching US customers. Then in 2005 we acquired our first European customers. PRISA continues to form new associations with both high and low goal teams around the world. We take pride in developing unique team kits for everyone. We have an in-stock program for teams looking for a quick set of jerseys, and we continue to improve our extensive range of made-to-order products for teams wanting to outfit fans, grooms, horses and players for every condition imaginable. At the same time we are constantly developing product to use in promotion and off the field – the next generation of polo lifestyle clothing.
