Can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing a Letterman's jacket form public or private school. My son got a Letter for being on the baseball team, but he framed it and hung it on the wall of his bedroom, no jacket.
They need letter sweaters...Not in my kids schools in So. Florida but I think too it’s just too hot to wear jackets in general.
My daughter has one from her school and she loves it. Her school doesn't have many sports (it's a small, private Arts school). She has pins from yearbook, national honor society, ink and scroll and Thespians. My son goes to a large public high school. He's in a varsity sport. When he asked when he gets a letter for a letterman jacket, they laughed at him. Not popular there. Of course, we live in FL, so jackets in general aren't popular.I recently saw an article that said letterman jackets are no longer popular. It also mentioned that now they are used not just for sports but may be used for academics and things like yearbook. As far as I know our public high school only has them for athletic activities but I don't know anyone who has one. A friend just got hers for her son in private Catholic school for football. She said that they have a meaning in private schools but not public schools. Are they popular near you today and is the school public, secular private or religious private.
OK, this is the 2nd time I have seen a Taylor Ham reference here. I know what it is referring to, but no idea why it is suddenly a thing again? Did I mess some random pop culture mention?Some places they call them Taylor Ham Coats
