The size and fit of the American sportswear brand’s most iconic styles. Spanning hoodies, sweatpants, shorts and more.

<a href="https://www.goat.com/brand/champion">Champion</a> was founded in 1919 by the Feinbloom Brothers, initially operating as the “Knickerbocker Knitting Company.” Renamed "Champion Knitting Mills Inc.” in the 1930s, the brand cultivated a reputation for basic staples. During this period, Champion invented the first technical sweatshirt, better known as the “hoodie,” featuring a coarse fabric and reverse-weave design that was resistant to shrinking. The style proved a hit in the world of sports, with many athletes opting to train in it.
Champion introduced its signature “C” logo in 1956, which still adorns its items today. In the ’80s, the brand began to expand beyond sports, embraced by the East Coast hip-hop scene and artists such as Wu-Tang Clan. During the ’90s, Champion produced uniforms for the NBA, as well as various NFL teams.
Today, <a href="https://www.goat.com/apparel/brand/champion">Champion</a> is renowned around the world for its sportswear essentials. Since the turn of the century, the label has teamed up with numerous creatives and brands, from the Beastie Boys and Tremaine Emory to Craig Green, <a href="https://www.goat.com/collections/supreme-champion">Supreme</a> and <a href="https://www.goat.com/apparel/rick-owens-x-champion-black-mesh-tanktop-black-cm20s0006215086-09">Rick Owens</a>.
 
<h2>What sizes does Champion come in?&nbsp;</h2>
 
Champion produces clothing in men’s, women’s and kid’s sizes. The brand’s clothing is slightly on the boxier side, but not to the extent it merits going a size up. People who prefer the oversized fits of ’90s and 2000s hip-hop style may prefer to select a larger size than usual.

<h3>Champion Hoodies Size and Fit</h3>
 
<a href="https://www.goat.com/apparel/brand/champion/tops">Champion hoodies</a>, including the signature Reverse Weave, fit true to size. If you wear a medium in hoodies by brands like Nike, adidas and New Balance, the same size in Champion should suffice. For an oversized look that drapes at the sleeves and offers more room, it is recommended to go one size up.
