Appearance
The Black Polo, as its name suggests, is a polo collar shirt that has a jet black color to it. Being made by Zekko, the shirt features a small tag sewed onto the bottom left of the shirt, and near the chest area, a white strip with Zekko written in red Inkling letters is featured. The sleeves of the shirt, as well as the collars, feature white stripes near the bottom parts of them.
Splatoon
Abilities
The Black Polo comes with Recon as the primary ability, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Clothing, prevents the wearer from also having Cold-Blooded, Haunt, or Ninja Squid. As a 1-star item, the Black Polo comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail or 30,000 cash for each slot. Since it is made by the Zekko gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slot.
Splatoon 2
Abilities
The Black Polo comes with Ninja Squid as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Clothing, prevents the wearer from also having Ability Doubler, Haunt, Respawn Punisher, or Thermal Ink. When purchased from SplatNet 2, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Clothing (with the exception of Ability Doubler). As a 1-star item, the Black Polo comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail for each slot. Since it is made by the Zekko gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slot.
Trivia
- The Black Polo is the cheapest piece of gear with
Recon (ability) in Splatoon. It is tied with the 
Herbivore Tee for cheapest purchasable gear with 
Ninja Squid in Splatoon 2. - The Black Polo had been in the game's data files since its original release and had been shown in several pre-release screenshots, but was not made available until Version 2.3.0.
