BroderBros. Adds Additional Champion Fabric Technologies
BroderBros. Co., based in Trevose, Pa. announced it will introduce several new Champion styles via its fall catalog and expects to see double-digit retail growth reflected in the imprintables industry.

of performance, so customers can now find the right product for their individual needs.
“There are strong correlations between the success that Champion’s Double Dry has had at the retail level and the product’s success in the imprintables industry,” noted Andrea Engel, vice president, marketing, BroderBros. Co.

BroderBros. will debut seven new Champion performance styles in October 2009. In addition to performance styles, Champion will reintroduce several of its top-selling activewear styles, with new exterior branding. The “C” logo will be added to their most popular T-shirt, and fleece styles, in visible locations on the garments.
