Jackson’s white varsity jackets

Post by Sfmf55 »

Does anyone know where Jackson’s white varsity jacket tradition came from? I’ve seen some old Jackson players have them and was wondering the history about them

I'm probably wrong on this, but I think it has something to do with an undefeated regular season.

Yes you are correct. White varsity letter jackets are given to all players on a perfect 10-0 season.

Thank you. I had heard that, but I wasn't sure.
