Starter Black Label by jeffstaple
by Charles Cheng, August 13, 2008
jeffstaple, the founder of the Staple Design empire, is giving a fresh look to the old sports apparel brand, Starter, that will be dubbed Starter Black Label. Starter is popular in the 90s for their bright and colorful varsity jackets. The Black Label collection will include t-shirts, caps, and bombers in all the NFL team colorways. With help from the Staple, it seems that Starter is coming back stronger than ever.

just posted on digitalgravel with ridiculous prices…oh, and the “only 1 left” tag on all the jackets and sizes…they cant think were really that stupid can they…?
I went to a spot where they had these they go for like $150 there crazy i pickup vintage starter that looks way better for like 5 dollaz a pop
you can look at it 2 ways…..jeff did do some wack designs. or starter put some fucked up restriction on dude. but over all? it ain’t a good look. bring that sports team shit back mang!
still wack.
i kinda like it anyway.it’s naive,back to basics….not something that makes u say “whoa” but i would cop a cap
Looks like something Supreme would collab with.
I’m sure Jeff know’s he’s got some haters, but he also knows he can design something to shut them haters up. Besides, the is Starter BLACK LABEL.
boring and lazy - yo staple, get off the couch , stop watch oprah and start designing some new shii. how long can you ride the pigeon for?
Starter should remain dead.
hey starter was a brand nike bought to cater to the walmart’s of the world…so thats where the brand is…but to make it even more appealing nike sold starter recently to the same company who bought artful dodger ( I believe.)
There was a time when Strater was all the rage. Now with Staple it might come back. As far as Caps go.. New Era is in.Besides, I’m betting that Starter will be big everywhere BUT the US. In a couple of years it will become accepted. Look at Levis.
starter WENT hard down the toilet in like 96, and re-emerged a couple yrs ago at WALMART, lol
starter goes hard
well idk bout all yall, but im diggin the pin stripe, and the only reason yall niggas haitin so bad is cuz it got a starter tag on it, aint nuthin wrong wit it, but bet money if it said bape or maharishi u would be all over that shit
I dun mean this is bad, but it doesn’t make any different from “Mr. staple design”. Because honestly this is nothing special.
you can cop these pieces at wal mart…real talk
Y’all can’t pick up on sarcasm too well? Dude was obviously joking with the ‘design wizard’ comment. No thought went into these pieces. C’mon now.
jeff staple is a cool dude but damn this is just bad for his rep…
hahahahaha
“Design Wizard”?!?!?!? Get off the rock man. This is garbage. What exactly did Staple do here? He used pre-existing color combos (aka team colors) on a pre-existing garment (aka the Starter jacket, same as it ever was) and they all just say Starter in block print?!?! If I’m gonna be a walking advertisement for a brand, the logo better look a lot better than that! Any 12-year-old with some sort of computer template program could have “designed” this stuff!
Jeff Staple is da MAN!! Love the pigeons both dunks and newbalance and these jackets look tough, bringing it back to the 90’s, YES!
design wizard…..this all just looks like Starter deadstock. extreme let down.
These are lame… I never once had a single starter item that actually said “Starter” on it, they all had teams logo and then the little S star starter logo. Where are the team names?? Why do I want Starter on my chest? What am I starting? You 3 probably hump everything on here anyway
The nylon looking joints look dope.
Hmmmm. Starter caps vs New Era.
OMG Staple is a design wizard!
