Vintage La Porte Slicers Sweatshirt

Editors Notes

Bright orange fleece-backed crewneck sweatshirt with large front graphic reading "La Porte Slicers" in script and block lettering, ribbed neckline, cuffs and waistband, set-in sleeves, and medium-weight cotton-blend fleece body; tag reads "Authentic Apparel Lee Heavyweight" size M.

This sweatshirt comes from Lee’s era of sturdy fleece and team merch, when collegiate and high school athletics gear was a casual uniform in the late 80s and 90s. Lee is historically known for its denim and workwear, but their heavyweight fleece line built a reputation for durability and cozy, brushed interiors. Pieces like this were often sold through local sporting goods stores or school booster clubs, making them hyper-local souvenirs of community sports culture. Today, bold single-color sweatshirts with clean varsity graphics are a staple in vintage streetwear and gender-neutral dressing. Modern styling often pairs these with high-waisted jeans, cargo pants or even tailoring for a high-low mix. Owning a piece like this taps into that authentic, small-town team energy while still reading as graphic and minimal in a contemporary wardrobe.
