The pieces, from The NTVS, pay homage to athletes like Jim Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe. Billy Mills. Lewis Tewanima. These are just a few Native American athletes who have made history at the Olympics. Thorpe, for one, became the first Native athlete to take home two gold medals for the U.S. back in 1912, when he won the pentathlon and decathlon in Stockholm; in 1964, Mills won the gold medal in the 10,000-meter run category in Tokyo. These unsung athletes may not be household names on a global scale, but in Indian Country, they are bonafide legends.
“I thought it would be amazing to provide people with the opportunity to wear replications of the pieces they once wore. This collection not only commemorates their legacy, but also supports their ongoing impact.” The collection includes hats, sweatshirts, tees, tanks, and socks—all of which feature the names and numbers of Native Olympians. . The unisex tank, for example, features the number 222, mirroring Mills’s original running number.
