Start with the fabric and the fit you want
The Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise navy mens polo is a 100% polyester knit with an updated fabrication designed to provide texture. That fabric choice matters for fit: polyester knits tend to hold their shape, so the size you choose will largely determine how the polo sits across your chest and shoulders rather than stretching out over time.
Before you order, decide whether you want a closer, athletic fit or a little more room through the body. The catalog lists sizes small through 2XL, but it does not include a chest or body measurement chart. Use the size you normally wear in Nike polos as your starting point, and if you are between sizes, consider whether you prefer a trim look or a relaxed one.
What the catalog confirms about this polo

Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise Navy Mens Polo - Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise Navy Mens Polo: The knit polo is designed with an updated fabrication to provide texture. Texture gives the navy fabric visual depth, so it looks a step above a flat basic polo without needing a pattern.
- Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise Navy Mens Polo: The polo has an embroidered Nike swoosh on the right chest and an embroidered New York Yankees NY logo on the left sleeve. Both logos are embroidered rather than printed, which suits the polo's clean game-day look.
- Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise Navy Mens Polo: The Somerset Patriots are the New York Yankees Double-A affiliate. The Yankees sleeve logo reflects the team's real affiliation, so the polo works as fan gear with a subtle detail.
- Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise Navy Mens Polo: Available sizes are sm, med, lg, xl, and 2xl. The size run covers most adults, but the catalog does not provide a measurement chart, so use your usual Nike polo size as a reference.
How to choose your size without a measurement chart
The catalog does not list chest, sleeve, or body-length measurements, so treat these steps as a way to make a confident choice using the information that is available.
- Check the size range against your usual fit: The polo comes in small through 2XL. If you normally wear a medium in Nike tops, start there; the 100% polyester knit is not described as stretchy, so the listed size is your main guide.
- Decide between trim and relaxed: Because there is no size chart, the safest approach is to pick the size that matches how you want the polo to sit. A closer fit flatters the shoulders; a roomier fit gives more ease through the midsection.
- Use the logos as a fit checkpoint: The Nike swoosh sits on the right chest and the Yankees NY logo on the left sleeve. When the polo arrives, check that both sit flat and are not pulled tight or drooping, which can signal the fit is too small or too large.
- Account for layering: If you plan to wear the polo under a light jacket or over a base layer on cooler game days, consider whether you want extra room. The catalog does not specify a layering fit, so choose based on your own preference.
How to wash a Nike Dry polo
The supplied product record does not include specific care instructions for this polo. Rather than guess at water temperature, drying settings, or ironing rules, follow the care label sewn into the garment. That label is the manufacturer's instruction for this exact piece and should take priority over general advice.
As a practical starting point for a 100% polyester knit with embroidered logos, many people turn the polo inside out before washing and avoid high heat, since heat can affect synthetic fabrics and embroidery over time. These are general habits, not confirmed instructions for this polo. Check the label first and use the gentlest method it allows.
Game-day styling for the navy polo
- Keep the rest of the outfit simple: Navy is a versatile base. Khaki or gray chinos and clean sneakers let the embroidered logos stand out without competing for attention.
- Lean into the Yankees detail: The NY logo on the left sleeve ties the polo to the Patriots' Yankees affiliation. A navy cap or a light jacket in a neutral color keeps the look cohesive.
- Dress it up slightly: For a ballpark dinner or a casual workday, swap sneakers for loafers or clean leather shoes. The textured knit reads a little more polished than a standard flat polo.
- Plan for the weather: The catalog does not describe the polo's weight or breathability, so if you run hot or cold, bring a layer you can remove. A lightweight jacket over the polo works without hiding the chest logo.
What to keep in mind before you buy
The Somerset Patriots Nike Dry Franchise navy mens polo is a straightforward choice if you want a textured navy polo with subtle team details. The main limitation is the lack of a published size chart and care instructions in the catalog, so your best tools are your usual Nike polo size and the care label inside the garment. If you are unsure between two sizes, choose based on whether you want a trim or relaxed fit, and remember that the 100% polyester knit will hold the shape you pick.
