Hey guys,

I'm amidst turning my entire life upside down selling my house I've been in since I was a kid :eek: , and I found something. It literally made my jaw hit the floor because it brought back huge memories of my original purchase of this and my totally red faced (and burning inside) upon putting the cardboard box on the counter. Into full view of some lady, who I thought was going to start pointing and laughing.

Anyhow, the little something I found was my first jock. I cant put an age on me back then, I do remember I was in early grade school and I bought it from Brooks Drugs, Which is long since.. Out Of Bussiness. I remember rushing out the door and not even waiting to get home before I pulled it from the box. Hiding my special gift inside the bag. Back then I was afraid of what others thought/said/who knew my mom ect LOL

Fast forward nearly 30 + years and me and my original jock are reunited. Its in used shape (more memories) :blowme and :hump to boot, the hard plastic cup with the green spongie stuff around the edge is still inside and intact. I was just thinking if anyones heard of this maker. Its imprinted on the lable as (from top to bottom)

Just curious if this companys still in bussiness, changed names, still making jocks, ect. I havent looked on the web. Figure I would check the wealth of knowledge here first.

Yes, I will post up some pics soon of it also :)

What a thrill that must have been! I think all of us here remember our first jockstrap. The excitement, anticipation, and of course the embarrassment.

I remember that all of us had to get them in middle school, but nobody wore them (not in gym class, at least!) In high school, we were required to wear them. Sadly, that's not the case anymore.

Hi Guys,

First, I must appoligize. I know I made the statment that I would post some pics of this jock, but things went to hell thereafter. Its been one hell of a bumpy ride for me over the last few weeks and it culminated to a head last week with the passing of my best friend in life... My dad. Needless to say I'm trying to get a ton in order and happened upon my mailbox at Yahoo and noticed a letter with a headline that looked familuar.

On reading the letter, I slapped myself in the head and thought, What the hell, I need a break from all this crap ... So here ya go. They aren't exciting, write home about pictures, but right now I just wanted to deviate from the mundane of after death dealings.

Still am interrested if anyone knows anything about this jock.

Yep, it's the same manufacturer, the jock in the photo above is a non cup supporter, which it seems they don't make anymore. They are however still manufacturing the the jock you show (but without the star logo).

Our condolences (myself and Deusex) on the passing of your Father.

Thanks for the information and for the condolences. My dads passing happened fast. We put him in a nursing home on Wednesday, and by saturday morn he had passed. Guess he gave up the will to live. Its been rough the last few, but i'll make it through.
