Whilst not strictly for sailors, the new ‘Champions’ and ‘Victory’ ranges by Henri Lloyd have been designed to celebrate Brawn GP and Jenson Button’s respective successes in winning the 2009 FIA Formula One Constructors’ and Drivers’ Championships with one race of the season to go. Both collections feature caps, polos, sweats, Men’s, Women’s and Junior T-Shirts, each carrying their unique World Champion Logo branding.
