Feeling nostalgic about the snuggly and warm red mittens everyone seemed to be sporting during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver? Well, you’re in luck because the Canadian Olympic Foundation, in partnership with the Hudson’s Bay Company, launched today (September 28) a new version of the mittens.

Net proceeds from each $10 pair sold will go to the Canadian Olympic Team. The mittens were all the rage during the Winter Games, with over 3.5 million pairs sold. Even Oprah Winfrey gave them away to her Chicago studio audience.

“We have no doubt that this next generation of Mittens will once again be a hot ticket item, reminding Canadians of our athletes’ incredible achievements in 2010 as well as raising much-needed funds for the next generation of athletes,” David Armour, CEO of the foundation, said in a press release. The mittens are on sale now at the Bay, Zellers, and Home Outfitters stores.
