In search of a plain black polo neck

It might seem a staple needed in every man's wardrobe especially at this time of year. But it seems polo necks have been replaced by roll necked sweaters in the fashion stakes. Been everywhere to no avail. In John Lewis found a navy version. He tried it on for size. Ask if they have them in black. The assistant said, no the closest would be the orange. ??!!

I'm not clear what the difference is twixt poll, roll or turtle? There's always the Andy Warhol black polo for a mere £9950 (http://store.paulfrasercollectibles.com/Andy-Warhol-Black-Polo-Neck-Jumper-p/pf267.htm)

Sadly, wearing one always, always, leads to jokes about the Milk Tray Man. I've never tried wearing one for long enough to know how long it takes for people to get bored and the jokes to stop.
