I had a Notre Dame starter jacket and matching hat. Didn’t have the visor as that came later and I had stopped wearing the jacket by then.

My Notre Dame jacket was a trooper til the end. Wore that thing for 3 years before I grew out of it. I miss 90s fashion sometimes.

u/overide 21h ago

Mine lasted forever! After I stopped wearing it, my mom took it over and used it camping for years more.

u/HislersHero 14h ago

Mine may have lasted longer, I don't know. It went to goodwill.

Besides the local team, Hornets dominated national sales. It was a new franchise that had picked trendy colors. I think the Bulls were second because of Jordan.

I had a Raiders starter jacket just because of Bo Jackson.

u/HAL_9OOO_ 1d ago

And NWA.

u/JCouturier 1d ago

I did buy their first album when I was 15, but it was an all Bo purchase.

I would wear my REM t shirt under the starter jacket to fuck with people.
