The pullover Starter Jacket had to be fresh. I don’t mean clean. I don’t mean new. It had to be those things as well. But I needed something that was Chicago fan fresh. At age 14, that meant something no one else at school possessed.
That’s how I rolled. I was an NBA jersey innovator. In the days of JORDAN 23 and PIPPEN 33, I spent my middle school days rocking ANDERSON 7 and MUTOMBO 55 and ROBINSON 13 and JOHNSON 2 and finally RODMAN 91, but only the new black joints.
I bought that in 1995.
