Narco Polo is the latest style among Mexican Youth.

This article details how the trademark Ralph Lauren 'Polo' Shirts are favored by Mexican Drug Lords. Now street vendors are selling imitation knock offs to Mexican teens. As the article indicates, specific shirts are labeled by Drug Lord. 

This of course is not the way to discourage violence when the latest narco fashions are idolized by teens. 

But that's socionomics for you. Social mood drives what we purchase. Here mood is empathetic to the Drug Lords which is to say things are going the wrong way for the Mexican Government.
