Edmonton brand Seven80 offering affordable Olympic gear

A local clothing company released a line of budget-friendly gear so more people can show their support for Canada's Olympic athletes.

An Edmonton-based clothing brand is selling Olympic gear at an affordable price so more people can take pride in Canada.

“Seeing all the stuff that was coming out, they are really cool, but they’re really expensive,” said Seven80 owner Ador Cochingco. “I wanted to create just a simple thing from a fan perspective.”

T-shirts and hoodies have a maple leaf on them and say: “Sorry we’re awesome.”

“It’s important that we stay Canadian: humility, being humble. I think that’s what makes us so unique in the world,” said Cochingco. “But we do need to take pride in what we’re good at, because if we don’t, who’s going to?”

Prices for the Olympic-friendly clothing range from $32 to $34 for t-shirts and $65 to $75 for hoodies.

Seven80 celebrates its 20th year in business after its first store opened in West Edmonton Mall in 2006.
