Do girls still sport these ? Or are they just not really a thing anymore? I asked warriorangela if she wanted one and her reply was , "I dont know"

So not sure if I really want to drop the dollars on one.

DD got hers during her Freshman year and has worn it since. Hardly anyone wore them at her school but she decided to revive the trend. It didn't hurt that we found a place that made custom fitted jackets. Lots of kids don't want to wear S, M or LG men's jackets but these fit well. Boo's jacket ended up costing right at $300 and has held up well. Almost the entire SB team has them and most of the BB team.

Our school awards them to athletes once they have earned enough booster points and lettered in the required sports. The Boosters organization pays half of the cost of the jacket.
DD earned hers this year as a junior, she qualified sports-wise as a sophomore but didn't have the booster hours yet.

DD got hers last year and since it gets so cold (65 degrees!) here that she gets to wear it sometimes. I recently ordered her all-district patches. Expensive!!!! 60 bucks plus 40 bucks to sew them on.

DD would rather wear a hoodie. I've asked her a number of times and she doesn't want one.

They are a big deal at our school, but a friend told me the kids don't wear them at his dds school. I would see what the other kids are doing at her school and go from there

I wrote a reply but guess it didn't go through. DD has had her jacket since Freshman year. The school covers cost of jackets once earned. We just have to pay for the patches. Funny thing is DD hasn't wanted to add more patches so she just has the ones from first year. She wears the jacket though (but it's one of many others lol).

We have combined practices with the older girls and a couple days ago I noticed a nice LM's jacket and thought it was great that one of the High School girls was wearing one. Nice place to display last years State Softball Championship patch.

When DD got her Varsity letter as a freshman we were so excited to get her a jacket. She looked at us like we were nuts. "What's a Letterman jacket?" she asked. We showed her a picture and she told us that nobody wears them at her school. Not even the football team. Plus she never wears a coat - just hoodies and zip ups even in below zero weather. So we are planning on putting hers in a shadowbox with some of her other memorabilia...
