G-III (Nasdaq: GIII) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) have teamed up to bring back the iconic line of NBA Starter Jackets with the unveiling of the new Starter x NBA collection. The Starter Jacket, made famous in the 1980’s and 1990’s, is a joint venture between G-III Sports and NY Giants legend Carl Banks, along with Iconix Brand Group (Nasdaq: ICON), owner of the Starter brand.

The Starter Jacket was last produced in the mid-90’s and the new line of jackets will include teams such as the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brooklyn Nets and New Orleans Pelicans. The Starter x NBA collection will launch in September 2013, with a special preview for retailers, media and players at an invite-only suite at The Capitol in Houston during NBA All-Star Week February 14-16. A limited number of All-Star versions of the satin jacket will be available for sale at the NBA Store at NBA All-Star Jam Session and retail for $150.
