Last night at the game I ran into a guy wearing a retro MU "starter-style" pullover jacket with the big pouch in front! After talking with him for a few minutes, he said he received it as a gift two years ago. I've searched high and low to try and find one of these jackets - has anyone seen them around anywhere?
Yes.
I would like to also start rocking the MU starter jacket. I'm bringing the starter jacket back to cool. Full circle baby.

My Vancouver Grizzlies Starter Jacket is too small and I'm looking to get one as well.
I have a turquios, Charlotte Hornets if anyone is interested.

I got one at Finish Line three years ago...it's not an official starter jacket but looks just like it.
Thread reminds me of a classic Onion pic:

.
I think I was in 5th grade when I unwrapped my Penguins starter jacket. Everyone had those coats.
saw one, possibly the aforementioned one, at a savers in madison, i no of all places, a few years back. Didnt buy it and i have regretted not doing so ever since
Phoenix Suns baby... loved Sir Charles.

it could be still there....
I saw an MU on ebay last year and it was really expensive. Might be worth a shot looking on there.
Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets Starter jackets were awesome.
Definitely had a Minnesota Timberwolves starter jacket. The royal blue, kelly green one for their logo they had in the 80s/early 90s. I'm from Chicago. I think my folks were just too cheap to shell out for whatever arm and leg they were selling Bulls starter jackets for in the mid-90s.
Had a Florida Gator starter jacket.
Nobody would have hit me on the side of the road flashing those colors.

Did it have a big MU in gold on the front pouch? I've had that thing for probably 15 years stuck in the attic somewhere.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a cool satin Starter jacket but I had a Chicago Bears Starter bag...the long gym ones. Really dorky now I think of it...carrying the damn thing from class to class in HS. smh

I think this oregon one is pretty cool too...it seems like the Charlotte Hornets and Florida State ones everyone had. The more rare ones are pretty cool

Closest I found on eBay...

I don't think you were talking to me but I do have one and wear it to MU games. Every few weeks or so I search "Marquette" on Ebay just to see if anything tickles my fancy. Summer of '09 I came across a new MU Starter jacket that must have been a gift that was never worn from the 90s. My favorite Ebay purchase ever thus far.
I'm pretty sure this is what you guys are looking for. Hard to tell what brand it is, but if you're an XL, seems like a good deal.

I'm finally moving out of my parents basement and was packing up this weekend. I came across a Marquette Starter Jacket. I'm too fat to fit into it now, and I'm looking for a buyer. I simply googled "Marquette Starter Jacket" and it was like fate brought us together.
There is a lot of sentimental value between me and this jacket. I couldn't part with it for any less than $120. Please respond if you are still interested. I think this could be a win win situation.
F*ckin', is that you?
Starter was founded and located in New Haven until they went of business. They used to have a tent sale every year where they cleared out samples and old inventory. I bought a "Cleveland Indians World Series Champions" t-shirt there. (Was too funny to pass up.)

There is still advertisements for Starter behind home plate at the new Yankee Stadium; I could be wrong, but I don't think they're out of business.

Here's the Wikipedia link. They've been bought and sold a few times, but they haven't been an "actual" company since 1999. They've been more a logo owned by someone else.
got an ND starter has a hand me down with a Giant fighting leprechaun on the back. Also rocked a 49ers one sometime following their superbowl in 1994

Had a Charlotte Hornets one. I was that 90s kid.
Florida Panthers ... and Zubas
Its all about the U...I had a Miami one
Their used to be a Starter outlet store at the Prime Outlets or whatever it's called these days. I loved that place.
Also, I used to know of a website that would make customer starter jackets... can't find it anymore though.
I remember a buddy on my floor with the royal blue, gold, and white Starter one. But that was back in 1993 and it had the awesomely iconic Warriors logo.
But they did make one later. Not Starter, but Majestic.
