GT Bicycles “Air Show” Factory Letterman Jacket – Todd Huffman
GT Bicycles “Air Show” Factory Letterman Jacket – Todd Huffman
This GT Bicycles “Air Show” factory team letterman jacket represents a unique piece of BMX freestyle history connected to the marketing and promotional era of GT Bicycles during the 1990s. Constructed in a traditional varsity style with a wool body, leather sleeves, and embroidered logos, the jacket features the GT Bicycles Air Show branding used during freestyle demonstration tours and promotional events.
The jacket was originally owned by Todd Huffman, who served as Marketing Director for GT Bicycles during the 1990s. Huffman played a role in the promotion of GT’s freestyle program and public events that showcased BMX riding to wider audiences through demonstrations, competitions, and industry marketing efforts.
Programs such as the GT Air Show were part of the broader push during the late 1980s and 1990s to promote BMX freestyle through live demonstrations, team appearances, and media exposure. Riders representing GT helped popularize freestyle riding and brought BMX culture to events and venues far beyond traditional race tracks.
This particular jacket is embroidered with Todd Huffman’s name, linking the garment directly to GT’s marketing leadership during a significant period of BMX freestyle growth. The piece was acquired by the Lititz BMX Archive directly from Huffman and remains an artifact representing the promotional and cultural side of BMX during the freestyle boom.
