(Whispers) Staaaaaaarter.

For his Wednesday press conference, Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins showed up in a Starter jacket that looked like the one that used to hang in my closet during the first Joe Gibbs era. The best part is, knowing what we know about Cousins, it’s somewhat safe to say he wore that unironically, which would be amazing.

Since Starter no longer has its NFL apparel deal and may or may not still exist (I’m not going to Google it to keep the mystery), can Cousins get in trouble for wearing a non-league approved jacket? I don’t believe so. All those fines you hear about, including the ones accrued to Cousins’ third-string backup Robert Griffin III, who used to wear Adidas gear during pre-game warmups, are for gameday and official functions (e.g. Super Bowl media day). I don’t believe a Wednesday press conference falls under that purview, which is why Tom Brady can wear his cool logo’d hat some times.

Anyway, come back to FTW on Thursday to see if Cousins wears Zubaz to his next chat with the media.
