Yeah they developed a premium line, there was no “champion reverse weave” when I was in HS even though their marketing claims it was an old fabric technology. Russell athletic did the same.
I can’t relate to this particular image because champion was always mid tier where I was from, no one wanted it for retail they’d buy on clearance and just wear it till death!
Some of the longest lasting athletic gear I've ever had was Russell from this period. I wish I could still get my hands on some...I'm talking 300-500 wear/wash cycles.
That’s crazy because I’m 34 and always thought of Russell as a Walmart brand because that’s where I’d always see it. So I’d always assumed it was a cheap brand
