I lettered as a freshman


Id feel better if the school operated like that. Oh no. School rules dictate that you order that at the end of the soph year at earliest.

It seems like my kids did not pay for theirs either.

I wore mine exclusively for end of the year sports awards ceremony because we were encouraged to.

Still in my closet, worn 4 times

ETA:

yes I lettered freshman year, I'm kind of a big deal

They don’t wear them anyway. Senior rings are awesome as well!
Kids in my school wore the shite out of them.

I wore mine to a bonfire and somehow burned half the arm by throwing gas into the pile.

That's all I got.

I mean it’s a custom leather jacket.


Um, they aren't leather. Those are vinyl sleeves with a leather texture. Leather sleeves are an extra $85.

Dutchtown HS said "the jackets are free, but student had to pay for any patches."

Total price of patches was right under $300. (name on back, patch on front, honor society patch, chevrons for each year lettered, etc.)

For decades, Jostens has been f*cking people over with these and class rings.

Subtle brag that your kid had the makings of a varsity athlete.

At my dumbass school they wouldn’t give it to you until middle of your senior year so you get like 30days worth of usage.

They still do the same shite 20years later.

My daughter goes to a different school and they give them out freshman year so it’s not a terrible pill to swallow with 3.5 years of possible use.
