Majestic (Majestic Athletic)
Quick history
Majestic Athletic was founded in 1976 and became one of the most important producers of licensed sports apparel in the U.S., especially for MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL teams. Its jerseys, hoodies, and heavy graphic tees helped turn official sports gear into everyday streetwear. By the 1990s and 2000s, Majestic pieces were worn as much for fashion and identity as for team loyalty.
