Some of you younger Philadelphia Eagles fans may not know this, but there once existed an era where the words 'Starter Jacket' were two of the coolest in the English language. If you're a little hazy, do us a favor. Ask one of your older brothers or an uncle. We can guarantee you that they'll be able to put you up on some game. You may have to listen to them ramble on about Clarks Wallabees, Sean John, and Karl Kani sweaters, but hang in there. You might learn a little something if you're patient.

For the rest of us, these conversations aren't needed. When we hear the phrase 'Starter Jacket', we're transported. Owning one made you feel like you had some emotional bond with the team whose logo you were rocking. Heck, who are we kidding? Having that S on your chest made you feel like Superman. Raise your hand if you also owned Starters for teams that you weren't even a fan of because you needed their color combinations in your wardrobe. Yep, that's what we thought.

Here's where the rubber meets the road. The Godfathers are back, and you're going to want to know what they're up to.

Homage has released a modernized Starter Jacket collection just for you

If the adrenaline is still pumping from the reintroduction of the kelly green Eagles jerseys, fear not. You aren't required to exit nostalgia's train yet. What if we told you that you can add a Starter fit to your wardrobe? Yep! Now, please sit down. You're obstructing the sight line of the people sitting behind you.

FanSided is partnering with Homage to launch the latter's new NFL Starter Jacket collection to help us celebrate the 92nd season of Eagles football. Who knows? Maybe they'll drop a kelly version?

This one sports a retail price of $140 and can be ordered here. As another season begins, we have already seen a healthy amount of Kelly Green being rocked by pro football's most loyal fans. Something tells us we'll also see that familiar S on game day.

It's too early to make declarations on how the Eagles season will unfold, but here's what we can promise. There won't be a better-looking group of fans at their home games or on the road taking over the stadiums of opposing teams this season. We tip our caps to Homage. They just made our week a whole lot better.
