Something is really funky here.

Doesn't the BE own the old logo?

New logo seems out of place here

Ok is it just me - I'm all for history but in this day and age, those are ghastly!

If I wasn't a graduate student who had ~$2k to his name I'd have gotten one, where are you gonna check for a cheap one?

Seriously, the last time I wore a Starter jacket it was 1989 and I was in 6th grade. I didn't even know they were still in business.

This is Carl Banks apparel company, or somehow associated with them; GIII

I have a Whalers jacket just like that one.

This may horrify my wife and daughters just enough to be worth buying.

Wrong logo, have to pass sadly.

This is how it was supposed to look, but sounds like Starter may have screwed something up on their end. Twitter convo with UConn's Licensing and Trademark guy, Kyle Muncy, about the jacket kind of sheds some light on what might of went wrong: https://twitter.com/uconntrademark/status/527086075576328192

I have a bada$$ one that is leather and wool- great winter jacket- I do some strange looks if I am not at a Uconn game here in Atlanta.

I love the UConn retro stuff. I've been looking for the 90's hat that Jalen Adams was wearing when he signed his NLI, and finally found it.

 

[ctchamps]

So let me get this straight. This jacket is neither retro nor current. Is it a transi jacket?

 

[Scot-e]

There was some strange auto correct stuff going on in my last post - yikes!

Does anyone know where I can get a fitted hat like this? Snapbacks are cool and all but I only like wearing fitted.

There's some similar stuff on Ebay.

I think this is almost exactly what you would be looking for but it sold the other day. There had been a couple on ebay recently so maybe you could keep an eye out for one.

Very nice. I'd also prefer a fitted one and would buy that as well, so if anyone sees them elsewhere please post. Thanks.

The 90s were the perfect decade, and I will literally fistfight anyone who says otherwise.
