I came across this.....thought it was kinda funny...

This site was talking about things from 1993....

One of the posted questions:

What did wearing a Starter Jacket really represent?

The Reply: Starter jackets weren't just a fashionable way to stay warm in the winter--they were a sign of how much your parents loved you.


Remember when everyone had a Starter jacket? They weren't cheap either. Even girls would wear the jackets. Everyone from toddlers to old men. If you didn't have one, you weren't cool. I remember having a Jacksonville Jaguars pouch jacket when they had just become an expansion team. It was great. I think I might still have it.....

Where did Starter clothing go? I remember there were Starter stores everywhere. Now you don't see it anywhere except at Wal-Mart. They never did have anything good except for the jacket. Plus their stuff was crazy expensive.
