The Rise and Fall of Starter Apparel
This video looks back at the history of Starter, from its humble beginnings in the late 1970s to becoming a staple in '90s fashion and hip-hop culture.
I talk about how David Beckerman's relentless efforts led to groundbreaking licensing deals with major sports leagues, turning Starter into a household name.
I also discuss Starter's soaring success, innovative marketing strategies, and the eventual challenges that led to its decline.
Despite its ups and downs, Starter has seen a resurgence, thanks to nostalgic fans and a revival in vintage athletic apparel.

    Great video. Those Avs/Wings series were incredible. Devils/Flyers were some real gauntlets as well. I remember the Blackhawks were most awful during that time, which led me to cheer for the Devils in the Playoffs. I was at that game where Marty scored against the Habs. One of my favorite sporting memories.

    I have to laugh anytime I hear someone say that hockey would be better to watch if the broadcast made the puck easier to see. They tried it 20 years ago and most people hated it, and of course its so early 2000s FOX!

    That era was what many actually argue was the best hockey ever. Still was huge hits. Hip checks were still a thing. Real defence was still a thing. Fuckin from lock out in 95 to lock out in 04 or what ever that was a great damn era of hockey. Pat Quinn coaching the leafs. Potvin, cujo, era. Gilmore, sundin, Clarke, Thomas, list goes on leafs didn't win shit and we're still great lmao

    When I was in grade 5 in 1991 Starter hit the scene. Every single boy wore starter hats. Starter jackets, etc. I was poor but even I bought a Starter hat when I found one on clearance (a MLB champions hat). It was absolutely insane. Then something happened and they became a walmart brand for awhile and then just became sort of a joke. Such a fast rise and fall.

    I would argue the 24 teams era was actually the most talented era of all time. The 6 new teams of this era actually fits the influx of europeen player after the cold war and you can add that finnaly, the scouting system was becoming efficient. In the 80's, the new teams, didn't really come with new talent pool and the scouting was a joke a the moment. So even with great talent, the scoring was low because most of the players were good enough to defend properly. Lately, the addition of teams didn't come with new talent pool or better scouting and even worse, some europeen leagues can now compete with the NHL for "some" 4th or even sometimes 3rd liner. So you have now Mcdavid, deking AHL level player almost every game (and playing with some AHL level player).

    Im biased because of my age. Grew up watching the flyers face the trap. Learned the trap playing from up until i graduated in 04. Scores nowadays feel weird. 4 goals per game was a lot of scoring back then.

    I grew up watching "the dead puck era" and all I can say is we must be in the "pay big first and maybe I'll care eventually era"...😅 Every era of hockey before the 2005 lockout is better than this snoozefest modern hockey season we watch every year now. The salary cap turned all the stars into greedy whiners and now we have a league that is all about marketing players, not the teams they are supposed to be a part of. The NHL has made a mockery of what hockey is supposed to be.
