VeeFriends is thrilled to partner with legendary sportswear brand Starter in our limited edition release of the Starter Alert Ape Jacket! This iconic partnership is a dream come true for Gary and the perfect fit for our iconic VeeFriends character - Alert Ape.

Starter - Iconic Sports Apparel

Starter has been at the forefront of popular culture, sports, and fashion since 1971. At a time when athletic clothing was bland and static, Starter burst onto the sports apparel scene, partnering with major sports leagues like the NBA, NFL, and NHL. The brand ignited a new style in sports, led by their iconic satin jacket. The name Starter embodies the skill, heart, alertness and perseverance that comes with being a "starter" of a sports team. Starter has led the charge for the everyday sports fan to dress in a way that expresses their enthusiasm for the sports they love.

In the 1980s and 90s, Starter expanded worldwide, embraced by new audiences, as artists, musicians, celebrities, and athletes all began to rock the iconic Starter jacket**.** The jacket became a symbol of being culturally alert and in-the-know. It was then that Founder and CEO of VeeFriends, Gary Vaynerchuk came to fall in love with Starter jackets as a way to express himself and his dedication to his favorite teams.

END. Clothing

In addition to partnering with Starter on our Alert Ape Jacket, we have partnered with trendsetting retailer, END. Clothing for distribution of the jacket in Europe. END. is a leader in style, sneakers, culture and community.

Through this partnership, a limited number of Alert Ape Jackets will be sold through END's official website: endclothing.com

This is a great option to purchase for our UK and greater Europe Community as END. is based in the United Kingdom.
