Everybody had one. It didn’t matter if you were a true sports fan, or just wanted to look fly. Maybe the Starter jacket you were wearing proudly displayed the logo of your all-time favorite team, or maybe you just really liked the color scheme on the coat. Either way, if you were coming up in the mid-1990’s, odds are you were a proud owner of Starter’s most popular product.
With the cold weather fast approaching in Philly, I went to gather my cold weather gear this weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find my original Orlando Magic Starter jacket in pretty decent condition at my mom’s house. Of course upon finding it I immediately wore it out that evening, and plan to sport it throughout the winter months (my loyalties to the 76ers aside, it’s just a nice coat).
Below are a couple pictures of this classic piece of winter wear.
I was also always a big fan of the Charlotte Hornets edition, they still have one of the coolest color schemes of all time:
Starter really needs to bring these back, considering their stuff is nowhere to be seen on store shelves these days, I’m sure it couldn’t hurt.
Who else fondly remembers having one of these?
