I seem to recall Trillini having the Champion logo on a pair of bluie knickers a year or so ago. I think the consensus was it was NOT an example of Champion getting into the fencing biz, but rather Trillini wearing a sponsor's logo in a prominent place...kinda lika a NASCAR driver, but with more resiraint.

More than likely it was just a pair of illegal baseball or softball pants.

On an Olympic and World Champion? highly unlikely....about as likely as Osama bin Laden becoming a human being.

I HOPE you were being sarcastic...

I don't think he looked at the picture, lol. Yep, the Italians wear the champion logo on their knickers because it's a sponsor.
