We got this vintage Ali sweatshirt in the other day and honestly I never knew that Nutmeg Mills had the licensing back in the day. After a little research I found out that in October of 1992 Ali debuted his clothing line produced by Nutmeg Hills. The sweatshirt is sick and features the image of Ali's famous knockdown against Liston.
NEW YORK - Boxing great Muhammad Ali will enter the apparel ring Tuesday, Oct. 27, when he introduces his signature line of activewear at Macy's Herald Square, from 12-2 p.m. The only boxer ever to hold the heavyweight title three times will make a rare personal appearance to help launch the line, Muhammad Ali Sportswear by Nutmeg Mills. Macy's is creating a special Ali Sportswear Department to merchandise the line of T-shirts, shorts, sweats, outerwear and caps. Nutmeg is manufacturing all the products through a special licensing agreement with Ali and ABC Sports. "His wife said Ali is so moved by the whole thing," a Nutmeg spokesperson said. Source
