Varsity Letter Jackets: A Manifestation Of Acceptance And Individualism

The younger generation nowadays are all about leaving an impression. They try to manifest their individuality with a lot of new things. A lot of their possessions are reflections of their personalities. One way to really express themselves is with their choice of clothing and apparels. Rockers articulate their style with rugged clothes, Hip-hop fanatics express themselves with the use of bling blings while athletes and jocks manifest their presence by wearing varsity letter jackets. The idea of wearing a particular apparel is not only a manifestation of individuality but also gives the wearer a sense of belongingness.

Letterman jackets can be traced way back to the 1860s simultaneously with the advent of organized sports. When team sports was conceptualized, distinguishing one team from another became a problem thus, the idea of wearing uniforms came into existence.

The utilization of varsity jackets have become a trend in all active sports group all over the world especially with schools and universities. Varsity players for football and basketball for instance have become outstanding and noticeable because of the varsity letter jackets they are wearing. These jackets through the passage of time had even become a status symbol for most students in the universities. Athletes are perceived to be filling up the highest spot on the university social ladder. And being seen wearing a varsity jacket is considered to part of the elite ones. This is primarily due to the fact that not all people are built to be a jock nor have the capability to be a member of a varsity team.

Wearing letterman jackets are not only tickets to social acceptance. Tracing back to history, these jackets are a symbol of excellent performance and unparalleled accomplishment. These jackets were symbolic awards given to the best team captain or the ace marching band player. These jackets are only given to what is considered as the upper class or team leaders. Being awarded a letterhead jacket is s sign of respect and pride of the university to the recipient's feat.

When before these jackets were synonymous with sports, today it is a manifestation of identity. Students wear them proudly to represent their schools during any events. These jackets have been the remarkable uniforms of that 20 piece choir that is representing the university, they are the emblem of the math enthusiasts as they mentally prepare for that ultimate battle of wits, or the marching band as they proudly beat their drums at the basketball team's victory. Whatever the purpose for wearing the jackets may be, it only conveys one very important thing and that is to represent their school and demonstrate team pride.

Wearing varsity jackets is a sure way of making a very good impression. Not only does it protect you from many elements such as rain, cold wind and dust but it can also be a representation of your personality. And the coolest thing about these varsity jackets is the fact that as long as education is a human necessity, these jackets will never go out of fashion.
