In the last 5 years, Champion has become one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world. The brand that became popular in the 90’s as Champion became the official outfitter of the NBA, has made a major comeback in the last few years.
You may be wondering if it’s all hype and nostalgia, or if Champion is actually worth it.
As someone who has worn, recommended and written about Champion in the past, here are 7 reasons why I think Champion is worth it.
7 Reasons Why Champion is Worth it
1. Retro Style
One of the biggest reasons what Champion has made a comeback, is because of it’s retro style. The logo and some of the clothing designs look exactly like clothing from the 90’s.
Jay-Z and Michael Jordan used to wear Champion clothing. Now, celebrities have begun to wear Champion again which heavily influences fashion. Kylie Jenner, Chance the Rapper and Noah Cyrus have all been seen wearing clothing from Champion.
Now, casual consumers love Champion because of the retro style. In my mind, having a retro brand like Champion make a comeback and be trendy, is why so many consumers find Champion worth it.
2. Accessibility
Champion is literally in every store and can be found anywhere. If you’re looking for Champion online, it can easily be found on Amazon or the Champion website.
Clothing from Champion can be purchased in stores like Footlocker, Marshalls and even Costco. I’ve gotten Champion sweatpants, sweaters, hoodies and shorts at Costco for great prices.
Champion is so worth it, because it’s so easy to get your hands on. Many brands that build some hype, tend to have a limited supply of product in order to build up even more hype.
When Champion became popular again, I saw it everywhere. Champion as a brand made it so easy for consumers to get their hands on there products.
Having the products be so accessible, allows prices to stay at a reasonable prices and even go on sale. There are many times where I have gotten a great deal on Champion clothing off of Amazon.
3. Affordability
If you’re looking for affordable clothing, you have to check out clothes from Champion. For a popular brand, Champion clothing can be found at really reasonable prices.
Generally, Champion is cheaper than brands like Nike and Adidas and the quality is very similar. If you’re looking to add some affordable sportswear to your wardrobe, consider trying Champion.
4. Quality
For the price, Champion has very good quality clothing. I’ve owned many shirts, sweaters, shorts and sweatpants from Champion. The quality has always been good and the clothes doesn’t shrink or fade overtime.
The Champion lightweight fleece pants are some of my favourite sweatpants. They are super comfortable, warm and have a great fit.
Another item that is great quality is the Champion Reverse Weave sweater. I’ve had this sweater for over 4 years and it still fits and feel great. It is made with thick material, doesn’t shrink and is a stylish sweater.
Nowadays, with a lot of clothing being cheaply made, it’s nice to have clothes that lasts for a long time. This is one of the major reasons why Champion is worth it.

A great reason why Champion is worth it, is because they have a wide variety of clothing. Whether you’re a guy or girl, young or old, Champion has something for everyone.
Clothing that Champion makes:
- Shoes

With such a wide variety of clothing, it’s easy to find nice clothes from Champion. I have many different shirts, shorts, sweaters and pants from Champion because they make many cool styles of clothes.
It’s gotten to the point where my brother, mother, father and even grandfather own clothing from Champion. For my grandfathers birthday, I got him a Champion sweater and he loves it!
6. Comfort
Champion makes very comfortable clothing. In my opinion, the men’s lightweight fleece sweatpants are some of the most comfortable sweatpants i’ve ever worn. They’re super warm, comfortable and great to lounge in.
When it comes to athletic wear, Champion clothing is my go to. It’s affordable, comfortable and very worth it.

7. Brand Recognizability
There’s no secret that Champion is a super popular brand. When people see the Champion logo, they recognize the company instantly. Champion has been around for decades and is a very well known brand across the world.
Although wearing a brand name isn’t the biggest deal to many, I do think there is something nice about wearing a well known brand. Wearing Champion has a different feeling than wear a brand like Fruit of Loom or a plain Gildan shirt.

Good quality, reasonable pricing and availability are reasons why Champion is not overrated. Some people believe that Champion is all hype, but the products from Champion have met customers expectations for decades. Since Champion has become popular again, it’s become widely available and is still affordable.
