Relive the glory days of 1998 with a streetwear twist. The Kanto 1998 Indigo League Champions Sweatshirt reimagines classic anime history through the lens of vintage American sportswear. Featuring a distressed, retro-inspired graphic that mimics the championship apparel of the late 90s, this crewneck pays homage to the original Kanto region victory.
Meek Phill KANTO 1988 Indigo League Champions Sweatshirt | Show Your Support
In December 2025, the hottest trend in streetwear is “loud vintage”—apparel that feels like a thrift store gem from an alternate universe. This sweatshirt nails that aesthetic by treating the 1998 Indigo League tournament with the same reverence as a professional baseball or football championship.
The sweatshirt features a bold, varsity-style “KANTO” arch text, a classic diamond-shaped emblem, and retro typography that screams 90s athletic wear. It taps into the “bootleg sports” movement, where pop culture icons are remixed into varsity aesthetics. It doesn’t look like standard anime merch; it looks like something you would have bought outside a stadium in 1998 after witnessing a legendary Elite Four sweep.

When Meek Phill stepped out in this gray crewneck, it instantly became a must-have item for fans of The Yak, Picks Central, and the wider universe. Meek Phill is known for his specific, often meme-worthy taste, and his endorsement of this design validates it as a certified “fit.”
