The iconic varsity jacket's origins trace all the way back to Harvard University in the year 1865.
Harvard's baseball team at the time was the first known group of students to sew large old English "H" patches onto their uniforms.
But these uniforms weren't varsity jackets, so to speak. Not yet, at least.
The Harvard uniform was basically a thick-knitted gray flannel pullover and, with the giant "H" sewn right onto the center, these soon came to be known as "letterman" sweaters.

The story goes that although lettered sweaters were soon provided to each player, in the spirit of good-natured competition, players involved in the year's most momentous games got to keep theirs while the rest had to return their letterman sweaters at the end of the season.
