For over 100 years, Russell Athletic has been supplying athletic teamwear, but it looks like times are changing. According to AL.com, the company released a statement last week announcing it would cease filling orders through mid-December.
In the statement, senior vice president for brand management Scott Greene said the company decided to transition away from team uniforms in order to focus more on its retail market efforts, as well as the growing athletic and lifestyle apparel market. The company plans to unveil a new product line in spring 2018.
