Champion has a proud history dating back to 1919. Originally established as the Knickerbocker Knitting Mills, the brand gained recognition for producing high-quality athletic wear. By the late 1960s, the brand innovated the nylon mesh jersey and mix-and-match physical education uniforms, solidifying the brand’s position in the athletic apparel industry. Champion dug its heels deeper into the sporting industry in 1992 when it became the official outfitter for all NBA teams. Champion continues to thrive in popularity with both online and brick-and-mortar shoppers, offering apparel for serious athletes and leisure enthusiasts alike.
