In 1926, the founder of
Russell Athletic, Ben Russell’s son, Benny, came to his dad with a new idea for an all-cotton practice football jersey replacing the itchy wool uniforms worn at that time. Knowing the comfort of cotton, he crafted the first-ever sweatshirt. The brand is still creating essentials today, including the
Nuke rendition. Cut from smooth organic cotton, it’s great for both sofa-surfing and marathon-running (we know which we’d choose).
