Champion Launches Officially Licensed 'STAR WARS' T-Shirts Exclusive to Directly Managed Stores

Hanesbrands Japan Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) announces that Champion, the authentic American athletic wear brand, will release limited-edition Made in USA heavyweight T-shirts using the 'T1011' body, featuring officially licensed designs from the globally popular movie 'STAR WARS', starting Saturday, April 25, 2026, at the official Champion online store and Champion directly managed stores.

Since its release in 1977, 'STAR WARS' has carved its name into cinema history with its epic story set in space and innovative visual expression, gaining support across generations and borders. Its characters and stories continue to influence the cultural scene today. This collection utilizes the 'T1011', synonymous with heavyweight T-shirts that have been loved and continuously improved since the 1930s. This piece is appealing for its dry touch unique to USA cotton and how its texture improves over time as it is worn. It also inherits details such as the tubular body specification without side seams and a binder neck specification that reduces stretching around the neck, combining a comfortable fit with high durability.

The lineup consists of 3 models.

Model 1 features the iconic 'STAR WARS' logo on the front and the message 'May the Force be with you' printed on the back, an iconic design representing the series.

Model 2 uses artwork from 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace'. It depicts 'Anakin Skywalker' walking on the desert planet of Tatooine and the shadow stretching behind him, expressing the contrasting worldview of the story.

Model 3 uses artwork from 'Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith'. It is an impressive design that symbolically depicts 'Darth Vader' falling into darkness.

All of these are special collections that fuse the worldview of 'STAR WARS' with Champion's craftsmanship.
