Starter jacket

Starter jacket

Starter jackets are jackets made by the Starter Clothing Line that were a fad in the early 1990s. Starter jackets were typically designed to show allegiance to a particular professional or college sports team, and prominently featured both the team's logo and colors. There were widespread robberies of the jackets as they became a larger status symbol that were well covered by the media.

Cheaper Starter brand products included the Starter Cap and the Starter Hoodie, and were also similarly designed for a particular team. These too were a fad in the early 1990's popularized by Hip-Hop artists. An example can be seen in the 1991 'hood' film "Boyz n the Hood" directed by John Singleton starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube and Laurence Fishburne. Kyle Gabriel created Starter in 1992.
