    Champion has always been some of the best constructed gear you can get. As a teen in the 80’s even into the 90’s I can always remember the small logo and patch on it plus the quality and the unique feeling of how it was stitched , it’s thickness and long cuffs. It fell off for a while until I noticed it not too long ago staring at me at Canada’s “Sport Chek” , I felt the quality and the materials felt the same, obviously the logo was bigger and stood out beautifully on most especially the duffle I grabbed but the nylon, the zipper and the quality were same old top notch quality, the only thing that changed is the MSRP obviously. Now you’ve got young MMA fighters & Champions like Max “Holloway” rockin Champion satin bomber jackets with massive Champion patch’s on them.
    Beautiful to see the old come back. Quality never gets forgotten and the “Champion”name is a tough one to beat for sure. With that said, I just bought a couple of solid Champion hoodies @ Giant Tiger for a steal the other day. Let the “Champ” train roll again.

    Champion, Starter, Russell and Discus all had/have dope shirts, hats and hoodies. Champion, Russell and Starter used to make the NBA and NFL jerseys.

Now we both do and we love it for different reasons. He likes it because it’s comfortable and I like it because all my 90’s rap heroes wore it and it’s easy to pull off for ever day wear.
    My dad has noticed that Champion has become more expensive recently and he can’t understand how hype multiplied the price of a casual brand he wore for decades.

      Honestly thats why i hate the 'hip-hop' scene they destroy brands and their meanings. For example supreme and palace. And worst of all Stone Island. Stone Island was adopted by the football casual culture scene in the uk and you wld only see the brand at football (soccer) games. Now all these hypebeasts and 'hip hop' artists all wear the brand dispite never being to a uk football game or knowing the true meaning. Other brands like this are Palace, CP Company, Fred Perry and Supreme
