HOMAGE is turning back the clock on fan gear. The retro-minded apparel brand has teamed with Starter for a new collection of heavyweight satin jackets, which are now available and spans all 32 NFL teams. It's a partnership designed to channel the golden era of sportswear, when the premium athletic brand Starter's glossy team jackets were just as likely to be spotted on the sidelines as in music videos or schoolyards.

The centerpiece is the Satin Jacket, a direct nod to the '80s and '90s originals that became pop-culture staples. Oversized logos, bold colorways and Starter's embroidered star return in full force, with HOMAGE tailoring the fits for modern wearers while preserving the heritage look. Whether it's the Eagles' kelly green, the Cowboys' navy-silver, or the Chiefs' blazing red, the collection taps into a nostalgia that's equal parts stadium pride and streetwear cred.
HOMAGE x Starter Collection
Starter jackets rose to prominence in the NFL boom years, immortalized by players, coaches and fans alike, and later crossing into hip-hop and mainstream fashion. For HOMAGE, the collaboration is more than a product drop — it's a cultural alignment. The brand has built its reputation on reverent callbacks to vintage sports and entertainment ephemera, and in the Starter satin, it's reviving what many consider the crown jewel of fan apparel.
The launch follows HOMAGE's re-release of the their Starter NFL Pullover jackets — a nylon, color-blocked half-zip that sold briskly thanks to its throwback styling. With the satin iteration, HOMAGE doubles down on that nostalgia play, leaning into what it calls "Uniform of Fandom." These are jackets meant for Sunday tailgates and Monday flexes, but they're also designed to work beyond the stadium, with the kind of cultural cachet that once made them coveted streetwear.
By spotlighting priority franchises like the Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, Bills, Lions, Cowboys and Bears , HOMAGE is positioning the satin jacket as the definitive outer layer for the fall NFL season. It's a strategy that recognizes not just the on-field action but the off-field impact—where fan gear becomes part of the entertainment ecosystem, feeding into music, film, and broader lifestyle trends.
