Champion apparel for fans will likely always be available regardless of the fact that they won’t outfit team uniforms like they did in the past. So you should be fine in that regard. They’ve made a nice comeback and probably offer the best sweatshirt on the market IMO. They’re actually constructing them like they did back in the late 80s/early 90s w/ the tackle twill lettering. The cost has reflected as much but they’ll last forever.
To me, Nike has a better fit and look than UA or adidas when it comes to fan wear. I have no issue w/ ND team uniforms for any of their sports...they did a nice job. I particularly picky when it comes to headwear b/c I wear a 7 5/8 hat and both UA & adidas have flex fit hats that I can’t wear in XL b/c they’re still too tight. UA did offer an XL/XXL last season for hats but must didn’t repeat that offer this season.
I haven't bought a Champion product in many many years. I just have old Champion stuff that still looks great. I really don't see any ND gear from Champion at the stores when I go back to Indy, so not really an option unless I want to order on-line.
I love the way my fleece quarterzip fits from UA. It's one of my favs for game day. I like Nike and Adidas polos though.
I never owned a pair of UA shoes while I was still hooping and I run in NB's but for a pair of walking around shoes, these are as comfortable as I've ever owned... and everyone comments on them.
I have the same line, just different colors. Black heel, charcoal heather body, and a few green accents. Most comfortable shoes I have right now for just chilling. Don't wear them a lot, but I put them to the test for two straight weeks at the beach, and they held up great, and did great in the washer.
First off, agree on the Champion gear as long as it's the Reverse Weave sweatshirt/hoodies. Best quality clothing made. Someday, the only thing left on this planet will be cockroaches and Reverse Weave crewneck sweatshirts.
I like that when they shrink, they shrink narrower, instead of shortening. I've got big shoulders/thick chest, and things are always big around the gut. The Champion stuff narrows up like the slim dress-shirts I buy. The Adidas stuff ended up still being overly loose around the gut, but shortened up. I wish more brands would reverse weave.
