Reverse Weave Shorts Navy

As Reverse Weave became a fashion trend in the 1980s and early 1990s, Champion began creating new derivatives of the line such as shorts, short sleeve crewnecks and vests. Shorts would be one of the more unusual Reverse Weave styles with side gussets and a crotch gusset, taking cues from both sweatshirts and sweatpants. This diffusion of the Reverse Weave brand into new retail products would be oriented more towards fashion customers rather than athletes with the addition of features like pockets and branding. These updates would mirror Champion’s shift away from team athletic wear supplier to casual sportswear retailer in the 1990s.
