And this makes the upcoming collaboration exciting for anyone with a penchant for both movies and fashion. Enter: Roots and the NFB.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s true! Roots has teamed up with the National Film Board to create a limited-edition collection based on two of Canada&#39;s most beloved animated classics,&nbsp;<em>The Sweater<\/em> and&nbsp;<em>Log Driver&#39;s Waltz.&nbsp;<\/em><em>The Sweater<\/em> (1980, by Sheldon Cohen) is a short based on the story by Roch Carrier about a young hockey player in small town Quebec who must wear a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey instead of one in support of his beloved Habs. Leonard Maltin even cited the film as one of the great works in Canadian animation.<\/p>\n<p><em>Log Driver&#39;s Waltz<\/em> (1979, by animator John Weldon) is equally Canadian, and is about a young girl who longs to marry the greatest dancer of all &#8212; a log driver. Sure!<\/p>\n<p>The collection launches online and in select stores across Canada on September 4, and features four t-shirts, two retro longsleeves, and two retro hoodies. The t-shirts feature images from&nbsp;<em>The Sweater<\/em> and&nbsp;<em>Log Driver&#39;s Waltz<\/em>&nbsp;(available in two sizer per film), and the longsleeves and hoodies bear the retro NFB logo. Prices range from $44-$98, but we all know the true cost of supporting Canadian film is priceless.<\/p>\n<p>(I know that last bit sounded a bit much, but I mean, it&#39;s true.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A collaboration just in time for TIFF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67426,"featured_media":81177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64593],"tags":[65123,80127,80128,69572,68067],"class_list":["post-56094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whisper","tag-canada","tag-self-improvement","tag-betterment","tag-roots","tag-lacoste-perfume"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Roots and the NFB Team Up! - 29Secrets<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The NFB teams up with Roots for a capsule collection\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Roots and the NFB Team Up! - 29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The NFB teams up with Roots for a capsule collection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/pop-culture\/daily-whisper\/roots-and-nfb-team\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/29Secrets\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-02T15:31:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/roots%20and%20nfb.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anne T.
