The Holy Land of Hoops

Apparently this website is going to have vintage Big East starter jackets on sale starting halloween. So far Georgetown and St. John's are confirmed not sure which other schools will be available. Picture of the St. John's one below, couldn't find a Georgetown one yet.

Ruvilla.com is the website that will have them in stock if interested! I think the SJ jacket is awesome and I will definitely buy it unless it's outrageously priced.

I don't recall the Johnnies being called the "Red Storm" back in the '80's.

I think it's the mid-80s style- but with today's logo's etc.

Could be interesting to see how they do this if it's a Big East thing, particularly considering half the league wasn't in the Big East in the 1980s. Hell, Marquette was still an Independent in 1989 before joining the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now known as the Horizon League).

I know that. I was just playing around.

I thought it was weird that they had a 90's logo on an 80's style jacket and font, but it could be because they didn't want to put the indian mascot on there since these days anything Indian including Halloween costumes is called racist. I think it would be cool if they made vintage style jackets like this for all the Big East schools including the new ones.

Luckily I still have my Gerogetown Starter Jacket from the 80s that I got of eBay.

Well that's BS, if we're going back to the 80s then do it correctly. It was the REDMEN. To me it still is the REDMEN.
I'm not a politically correct person. REDMEN forever.

i have a Big East t-shirt that has the BE logo as well as all sixteen teams. (i also have a sweatshirt from back in the day that has the (mostly) original members.) has anyone seen anything with the latest members?

Homage is selling a vintage Big East logo shirt that I picked up for 16 bucks if anyone is interested.

Although it looks like they are out of most sizes, I had to wait a couple months for mediums to come in.....
