Sportswear
A comprehensive resource of defunct t-shirt labels manufactured prior to the year 2000.
Brand #12: Sportswear
Circulation: Common
Era: 1960s? to 1990
Information: Aside from their ever-evolving tag design and heavy circulation not much is known about Sportswear. I had to resort to advanced internet technology to discover more info. How? By inputting the RN# that appears on the first tag above (41253) in to the FTC database (a technique I learned from a post written by the savvy members of our forum.) That RN is registered to Granite Knitwear Inc. which I then plugged in to Google who connected it to another familiar t-shirt brand called CalCru.

![[ LINK IN BIO ] In honor of May the 4th we connected with a gentleman named Shawn whose father, Ira, worked for ILM. He designed the Biker Scout, need we say more? Shawn shared an epic tale of a bootleg Star Wars tee his dad heroically stashed away despite George Lucas' attempt to have it destroyed.

RIP Ira Keeler. Long live the resistance.

Have you seen this Sportswear logo? It’s on a chore coat or hunting coat. Khaki canvas with corduroy collar. I believe its vintage and trying to verify that. Was googling and this site came up. Might you have any idea?

Sportswear Diamond? RN 50310
Could just be “Personalized Sportswear” as a slogan, as we see many tags below contain “Sportswear”
Thanks the TexasVtg95 for this one

No. Likely not the same as the t-shirt tag.
