Throwback Thursday – the Starter Jacket

Starter jackets began their rise to popularity in the early 90′s – as rappers, celebrities, and high profile people alike began to don the ostentatious garment as allegiance to their favorite teams/hometowns or as a status symbol.

Who can forget the hues of turquoise and purple or red and black and even black and gray when it meant reppin’ one of the popular teams of the era. With the epic rise of the jacket’s popularity came high demand and a pretty hefty price – especially for a teenager working at McDonald’s. “Hey bro, come up out that jacket!” – would be a phrase that became oh so familiar, especially if you tried flossin’ through the hood with one of these babies without your piece on you.
