Champion Athletic Wear

Champion got its start in 1918 when it was started by Abe Friedman and his father under the name of Knickerbocker Knitting Company, which they later renamed Champion Products. Their goal and purpose then became making athletic clothing for every kind of athlete. They have succeeded in marketing many important developments in athletic clothing such as the nylon mesh uniforms, hooded sweatshirts, screen printed numbers and letters on uniforms for athletes to name just a few of their innovations.

Champion made a real name for themselves with women with their line of sports bras. Their first sports bra, made over 20 years ago, was made from two jockstraps sewn together by a couple of women runners that couldn't find a sport bra. Their sports bras are still very popular with women everywhere. This is just one of their great creations in the line of Champion women's athletic wear. They also carry plus size Champion athletic wear. This has been a big boost to their sales. Years ago, women that were a plus size had to wear large men's clothing or not be able to purchase the attractive fashionable athletic clothing for women. Champion feels that all women should have the same opportunity to look attractive even while being athletic. At Champion, athletics should all be able to dress the way they feel comfortable is the way they feel.
