I actually like the Roots "Right to Play" logo line better:

My suspicion is the line consists of the clothes they would have produced if they'd gotten the sponsorship contract this year. As it is, they and Mastercard make some contribution to the "Right to Play" organization with each purchase.
I just like the overall look of all the items better (coats, shirts, toques and scarves), though there are individual items in the Hudson Bay collection I like as well (mainly a couple of the coats). Plus it kinda appeals to me that an "alternative" option exists - Roots / MC vs. Bay / Visa. Competition is good
