I thought they were ugly (the jackets). I lettered but never took the time to do anything with them.

Yeah for having a 4.0 for two semesters or something. I got a letter but I didn't even own a jacket so I just kept the letter in a box under my bed.

I lettered for academics but never put it on my jacket. I was too embarrassed because it wasn't a sport.

Choir but I didn't get the jacket. My sister put the letter in a scrapbook she made for my graduation/birthday.

Our athletes had them if they were varsity. My daughter lettered her freshman year in swimming. In order to letter for swimming she had to qualify for the
county championships. She'll letter again this year for the fourth in a row. She has the letter, the pins and the jacket but also has patches for placing
at county championships and state sectionals. It's a huge deal at her school.

At my school the girls didn't get the jackets (well...except for the basketball player girls) but all the girls wore their boyfriend's letter jackets
EVERYWHERE.

Band.
I had a jacket because if it was cold during marching season, the only jacket you were allowed to put on over your uniform was a lettered-varsity
jacket.
