Why the Fila BB1 Polo Shirt Is Still a Classic

Why the Fila BB1 Polo Shirt Is Still a Classic

When it comes to timeless casualwear, few pieces hold the same iconic status as the Fila BB1 polo shirt. First introduced in the 1980s and made famous by tennis legend Björn Borg, this classic bit of kit has long outgrown the court and become a staple in mod, terrace and retro fashion circles alike.

Now back in stock at Quadrophenia Alley, the BB1 is as sharp and relevant today as it ever was — and if you’re looking to level up your summer wardrobe, this is the one.

A Classic That Never Fades

What makes the BB1 so special? It’s all in the details:

  • Bold contrast stripes that instantly stand out
  • Classic piqué cotton for comfort and breathability
  • The iconic F-box logo — subtle but unmistakable
  • A flattering cut that works with jeans, shorts or smarter trousers

This isn’t just a polo — it’s a statement. And whether you wear it to a gig, down the pub or just to feel a bit more put-together on a Saturday afternoon, it always delivers.

Fresh Drops, Original Roots

We’ve got the BB1 available in multiple colourways, from the original white/navy/red combo to some proper smart new takes. And yes, sizes Medium through to 3XL are all in stock — so you can kit yourself out, no matter your build.
