This article implies that the hoodie was a key part of Roots' original product line, while anyone who was around in the 1980s will remember that the typical, trendy Roots sweatshirt then was actually a plain crewneck with a small logo on the chest. While hoodies, and to a lesser extent Ed Hardy-style oversized logos, might be popular and more profitable now, Globe readers deserve better than this blatant hood-washing of Canadian fashion history. Outrageous.
