Anybody else read this and start wishing they had held onto that sweet Hornets Starter Jacket from 3rd grade?

Charlotte Hornets Starter Jackets: An Appreciation - The Triangle Blog

It was exceptional to be a sports-obsessed child of the '90s (ages 3 to 13) for 10 main reasons:

• 1. Sports Illustrated for Kids
  2. NBA Inside Stuff
  3. D2: The Mighty Ducks
  4. Ken Griffey Jr.
  5. The naive belief that you had the only Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card
  6. Matt Christopher books
  7. Space Jam
  8. Jordan Highlight VHS box sets
  9. MTV Rock 'N' Jock Basketball (Dan Cortese, I SEE you).
  10. Starter jackets

• Classic! How is space jam over the TV show Hang Time?

And I rocked a Phili Eagles Starter Jacket.

I really hope he follows this up with the definitive breakdown that ends the ongoing Greg Goldberg vs. Julie "The Cat" Gaffney debate.

We were just talking about Starter jackets last weekend. Every person over the age 25 had one when they were a kid. Every person under the age of 25 had no idea what it was.

I'm 24 and I had one.

I'm under the age of 25 and had a Seattle Supersonics starter jacket, the rest of my siblings had the Charlotte Hornets starter jackets. I guess I was a fan of Shawn Kemp. Although I did have a Bogues jersey!

Yeah, I finally relented and sent mine to Goodwill last Spring. Sad day.

I also had a Supersonics starter jacket. I liked Jordan and the Bulls the most, but so many people already had Bulls jackets I had to go a different direction.

I also had the premiere collection of red Michael Jordan t-shirts in elementary.

I never got rid of my Starter jackets...

I had the Orlando Magic Starter jacket. I think that coat was $150 back then, wasn't it? That's crazy!

 

[Schfinkter]

I've got a charlotte hornets starter jacket still hanging up in my closet, don't know why I never got rid of that thing

I had a New York Rangers and a Chicago Bulls starter jacket. Also, I love the Rock 'N Jock Basketball reference.

I had the San Jose Sharks starter jacket. Loved that coat!

I would add in the peak of baseball card collecting and Becketts.

Pretty sure I had a Cowboys one, and a Michigan Wolverines one at one time. You weren't nothin if you didn't have a Starter jacket.

No Debate, Gordon had to go with the hot hand.

Also, I had a 49ers Starter jacket.

I had an Iowa State Starter jacket in the late 80s. A "friend" wiped boogers on it while I was driving and I could never wear it again. Threw it away. If that "friend" happens to read this: you owe me a kick-*** jacket.

I got a mighty ducks one the year they became a NHL franchise and my brother and I had matching Chicago Bulls Starter jackets.

I think we're only about a year away from seeing some sweet throwback starter coats, so maybe you'll get it!

You don't add a Julie Gaffney to your team to just have her ride your bench.
