Relive the glory days with Legit Vintage

Sean M. Peters | Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Sports fans all have defining moments in their lives that are linked with a favorite team. What Bobby Goodwin does with Legit Vintage is offer direct links to those cherished memories with his ever-growing collection of classic sports clothing.

With his inventory comprised of mostly professional football, baseball, hockey and basketball items, it’s natural for Goodwin to see spikes in particular teams’ sales depending on the season and the success of the teams. For example, right now there are two similar jackets he's offering -- a  Charlotte Hornets and a Cleveland Browns starter jacket. Not surprisingly, the Hornets jacket is five times more valuable.

Starting in March 2012, the 26 year old Miami University graduate has dedicated most of his spare cash to financing his retail venture, which is mostly online for now, though he does sell his wares at events that appeal to his fans.

What makes Legit Vintage a unique retailer is the hand-picked, stylish selections Goodwin himself chooses. His aesthetic makes it very easy to find the perfect vintage piece of clothing—from shoes to hats.

While you can find his inventory on etsy, Goodwin continues to look for a brick-and-mortar site to appeal to casual browsers as well as sports aficionados.
