The answer may surprise you. Russell is not a Walmart brand.
In fact, Russell is a high-end athletic apparel company that has been in business for over 100 years. So how did this confusion come about
It all started with a simple misprint. Back in the early 2000s, Walmart began selling a line of T-shirts that were made by the Russell Corporation.
The shirts were simply labeled “Russell” – without the “Walmart” branding. This led many people to believe that Russell was a Walmart brand.
Of course, this was not the case. The shirts were just made by the Russell Corporation and sold through Walmart. However, the misprint led to a lot of confusion and many people still believe to this day that Russell is a Walmart brand.
So, to answer the question – no, Russell is not a Walmart brand. It is its own separate company that just happens to sell its products through Walmart stores.
