It began as the Knickerbocker Knitting Company in 1919 and began its rise in the sportswear industry by focusing on high-quality sweatshirts, sweatpants, and uniforms. As organized sports skyrocketed into popularity, athletes were consistently in need of athleticwear designed with purpose and specificity. After the University of Michigan partnered exclusively with the company that would be Champion, and coaches nationwide began talking and word spread, further partnerships were instilled. By the 1930s, Champion Knitting Mills, Inc. had product in college bookstores across the country and was known for durable, functional, and comfortable pieces that could be used for both sport and everyday activities.
