Spring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apc-and-barbour)/Summer 2019 collection was recently unveiled and it is comprised of pieces that boast relaxed elements. The main design that the capsule boasts is drawn from [baseball themes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-new-york-yankees), including iconic team logos and [retro baseball apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme). Stephan Jay Rayon and Michael Kopelman reworked the fashion label's logo to represent the overarching sporty theme. The collection is comprised of tees, hoodies, sweatpants and crewneck sweaters. Notably, the entire series is constructed in the U.S. The color palette is fairly muted with light colors of gray, white and blue, along with black. Some standout items in the new seasonal collection include the 'Alton' tee and the 'Carell' sweater, as it showcases graphics of bobblehead toys that connect athletes to their fans. The A.P.C. Spring/Summer 2019 collection is set to launch beginning January 24th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Baseball-inspired Casualwear:** The use of nostalgic baseball themes in casual fashion is becoming a growing trend. - **American-made Apparel:** Consumers are showing an interest in domestically-produced clothing items. - **Fan-connected Graphics:** Sports-oriented graphics that connect athletes and teams to fans are becoming popular in clothing design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate sports themes into their collections to attract consumers. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Domestic textile manufacturers have an opportunity to attract brands who are interested in producing American-made products. - **Sports Marketing:** Sports marketers can explore new branding strategies that incorporate fan-oriented graphics and design in clothing merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heritage Streetwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-era.md) - [Spring Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoldwall-5.md) - [Americana Baseball Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polo-ralph-lauren-x-new-york-yankees-collection.md) - [Sporty Retail Style Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-new-york-yankees.md) - [Spring-Centric Collaborative Cozy Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/academy-series.md) - [Football Star Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tru-kolors-x-ae.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambush-5.md) - [Elevated Casual Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-barakett-spring.md)
