A part of the Americana lore, Champion has been a leading sportswear supplier for American athletes since 1919. Now, the label is looking to outfit the “everyday athletes” with its Spring 2013 menswear collection with retailer Urban Outfitters. The second of such exclusive collaboration, the Champion x Urban Outfitters Spring 2013 Collection harks back to the 1980s, when “Track and Field was all the rage,” says Champion Athleticwear Design Director, Joanne Sessler. The vintage-inspired collection features familiar designs like mesh tank tops, crewneck sweatshirts, varsity jacket, as well as Champion staples like raglan t-shirts and mesh shorts. In classic collegiate team colors of burgundy, blue, grey, orange, green and gold, all priced between $30 to $79 and will be available later this month through select Urban Outfitters stores and online shop.
