Champion is proud to announce that its iconic partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB) is returning for the Fall/Winter 2026 season. This collaboration celebrates a shared heritage and a deep-rooted connection to the world of sport, bringing the spirit of the diamond to the street through two distinct, men’s-only collections: the core MLB Collection and the premium MLB Cooperstown Collection.
The core MLB Collection: Modern Sportswear Performance
This collection is designed for the modern lifestyle, blending athletic functionality with contemporary street style. Featuring the celebrated logos of the New York Yankees, LA Dodgers, and Chicago White Sox, this range focuses on versatile fits and technical textures.
Key Highlights:
● Technical Apparel: tracksuits featuring a “peached feel” crinkle polyamide and water-repellent finishes for
all-weather style.
● Premium Jerseys: A variety of weights, including the heavy 220g Pro Jersey and 180g Athletic Combed
Jersey T-shirts.
● Lifestyle Essentials: Loose-fit cotton woven shirts, rugby-inspired long-sleeve striped polos, and square
polyester jacquard tanks and bermudas for a complete team look.
The MLB Cooperstown Collection: The Pinnacle of Heritage
For the true connoisseur of baseball history, the MLB Cooperstown Collection represents the higher tier of the FW26 launch. This collection pays homage to the roots of the game, specifically focusing on the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers and the Bronx Bombers (NY Yankees).
Vintage Craftsmanship:
-The “10-Year” Feel: Every piece in this collection undergoes a specialized “Piece Dyed + 10 Years Vintage Wash” with intentional distressing, giving each garment an authentic, lived-in heritage look.
-Iconic Fabrics: Built on Champion’s legendary 470g Reverse Weave Fleece and 250g Heavy JP Jersey for a premium, substantial hand-feel.
-Elevated Outerwear: Standout varsity jackets crafted from diagonal blended poly-wool and 380g cotton canvas, featuring intricate embroidery that honors the teams’ founding years (1883 and 1903).
-Diamond-ready, street-certified. We’re bringing MLB back to where it feels most at home: the Champion world. No fluff, just the real blueprint of sportswear. This is our DNA, stitched into every piece.
