In their latest collaboration, contemporary Danish label [Wood Wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Islay-Rum-Sherry-Wood) and Champion embrace the iconic aesthetic of traditional American sportswear. The offerings for the Fall/Winter 2018 season feature comfortable and action-ready silhouettes that have a graphic-influenced aesthetic. From sweatshirts and track pants to high-collar half-zips and bomber jackets, the [Wood Wood x Champion capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-x-undercover) boasts a color palette that pushes Forest Green, as well as a quirky feature that truly celebrates the spirit of American sportswear.

The pieces in the Fall/Winter 2018 collaboration are adorned with [adorable graphics that reference sports iconographies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/market-x-peanuts) — like mascots, for example. This element of design is an attempt to fuse the cheerful world of illustrations with fashion-forward silhouettes, creating a capsule that is not only functional but aesthetically unique as well.
