00:00Hi, it's Carl Banks two-time Super Bowl champion, and I am here with billboard
00:11The interesting thing about my relationship with starter is I was one of the first athletes to ever wear the brand when they introduced it
00:18back in the 80s I
00:20I
00:25Had a sit-down with Rakim and with Ed lover two of the pioneers of culture and
00:32Ed lover was on yo MTV raps, and they were responsible for making this brand as popular with culture
00:39And then you know that the god MC himself was telling a story a starter story about
00:44How they would go on Delancey Street and Orchard Street and just try to find the newest starter jacket
00:50So I think when you have those
00:53Cultural icons that were at the forefront of the brand it just you know
00:58It just tells you a lot starter has to fly silhouettes
01:01There was no satin jacket before starter, and they're still trying to knock it off right the pullover
01:07Breakaway jacket the anorak is still an iconic piece
01:10These were pieces that were created that people are like wow I need that right
01:15And you just can't find it in any other brand music is is an expression of something sport is an expression of something
01:23Fashion is an expression of something and I think
01:27All of those things people can relate to one or the other and starter kind of is the connector to all those things
01:35We've done a lot of
01:36Different collaborations, I think and it depends right we did AG me studios, which was really cool. We did
01:44Levi's this past fall which was really cool like I'm here in New Orleans and when I take you through
01:52These jackets you'll see it'll be your favorite
02:00Well I'm gonna take you through these jackets
02:03This is your basic right, but this commemorates every Super Bowl. That's ever been played
02:08This is another collectors item because every year there's a different patch the next one is where we really get into
02:16the essence of the city
02:18Right this is as New Orleans as you're going to get the stained glass is representative
02:23You know of the parish in New Orleans. We just continue to bring
02:27Just the essence of New Orleans inside the jacket
02:31Again different lining all things that makes these collectors items a really cool jacket here and on the inside you really
02:38Get a lot. This one is almost one that you can wear inside out
02:42we wanted to capture the essence of the geography and
02:46All of these different themes we believe
02:51Represents different phases of New Orleans the spirit of New Orleans
03:00Well the Crown Royal partnership is
03:02Is something that we collaborated on what could we do that was really unique and very
03:11Very normal right and I don't think there's anything in terms of culture and music culture more New Orleans than Manny fresh and juvenile
03:22They recreated their tiny desk performance for us we wanted to do something cool
03:27But we also wanted to do something good, and we have a wheat version the next collab
03:32We have these with rock nation
03:35Rock nation out of this as we know they put on the Super Bowl halftime show we did the iconic satin jacket
03:43rock nation hoodie
03:44This is where it all started these are vintage
03:47This
03:58Jacket is the first one ever to hit the NFL sidelines
04:05So again as we wrap this up you can see even graphically here
04:09It's another one of our graphic designers created something with the spirit of New Orleans, and you can see
04:15All the different elements in this and then this one is more of a New Orleans font fun font
04:22But it captures the essence of the city
