Based on a basic and affordable American-fit style T-shirt made from 100% cotton jersey, inspired by the kind of clothing sold in American campus bookstores, this design features Russell's tagline graphicly incorporated into the design.
[RUSSELL ATHLETIC]
Russell was founded in 1902 in Alexander City, Alabama, USA, by Benjamin Russell. In the early 1920s, they created the world's first prototype of a sweatshirt, and in 1938, they developed the world's first rubber print (the prototype of today's American rubber print). Subsequently, they used this technology to popularize sweatshirts with school names and logos for school and college uniforms and bookstores across the United States. In the 1980s and 90s, they signed supplier contracts with American professional sports leagues (NFL, MLB, etc.), establishing Russell's "R" mark (Eagle R) throughout the United States.
