The name, derived in 1939 as a reference to the types of shirts and sweaters worn by those who rowed crew, implies accomplishment by the work of numerous entities. And it’s in that spirit that the crewneck top serves best.
Champion Choices
When this style of construction emerged, it caught on just as Champion had begun hitting its stride as a sportswear apparel leader. And several styles of Champion shirts, available in sizes for men, women, and kids, are still available and have roots traceable to those early days.
The Champion Reverse Weave Long-Sleeve Crew Top combines this crewneck with Champion’s inventive weaving technique designed to prevent wash shrinkage. Its simple look consists of a solid, allover color with that familiar “C” logo at the upper-left chest and the left wrist. Made with 12 ounces of heavyweight fleece, it’s brushed inside for next-to-skin comfort.
The Reverse Weave Script Crew uses much of the same construction style as the long-sleeve crew but with an allover script print that literally has “Champion” written all over it, available in different styles.
The Graphic Fleece Crew follows a similar build method but adds stretchy side panels to allow for easier natural movement. The front graphic spells out the Champion wordmark in a mix of eye-catching colors.
Go a little deeper with the Super Fleece Behind the Label series. The ribbed waist and wrists give you a familiar fit. And an oversized “C” logo on the right sleeve joins with a printed Champion wordmark oriented downward on the left front. But with those graphics, in the top-left of the chest, is a small paragraph briefly describing the history of the company.
Bottoms Up
Whichever crewneck top you choose, whether it’s for warm-ups, cool-downs, or just plain chilling, Champion pants and shorts will complete your look and wrap you top to bottom in comfort.
Reverse Weave Joggers give you a classic look, with an external drawcord in an elastic waistband and tapered rib-cuff ankles for a trim look that lets you show off your kicks.
Cloud Dye Jersey Shorts come with the adaptive elastic waist and loose, comfortable fit you want. But the tie-dyed multicolor look matches up with a variety of other Champion looks and styles.
