I'm finally able to come back and post on forums I've missed out on (this and others) and I had a few questions.

I figured a lot of people here have great knowledge and really other then a few SNES sites I'm not sure where to ask the following questions:

I have two jackets (I used to compete in any and every competition held here in Canada, most notably if it was SNES related) that were worn by staff and I did a Google search and cannot find images of these jackets anywhere.

The first jacket (from super mario snes compt that was held in a truck) I received and ended up keeping during the finals weekend is one with Mario and Yoshi on the back (icon pose with mario on his back) its black and has some blue and red on it I think, I will get pictures. - Any idea of it's worth? Has anyone seen something similar?

The other jacket is a Super Star Fox Weekend jacket and no it's not the one that sold online either. This jacket again was worn by employees and I think has Star Fox Weekend written on the back - again I will get pictures.

Both of these jackets have a windbreaker look to them (not bulky jackets mind you) but are not made out of the traditional windbreaker material, whatever that may be.

I just thought I would share some rarities with everyone, since I have seen no pictures of these jackets online or ever heard of them up for sale.

I will get pictures up by the end of the day and I'm sure some of you will appreciate them. I want to watermark my pictures though, any suggestions for that?

Oh on a side note - I still have my original cart for Super Star Fox Weekend : )

Yeah, from what I have seen at other sites, the employees wore aprons and the jackets were the prizes. Your description seems to describe the 'winner' jacket that was given to the top competitor.

Cool pieces for sure, I have one to go along with my Star Fox Competition Cart :)

I believe the aprons were worn by U.S. employees of Nintendo because here in Canada nobody who worked in the Nintendo truck (truck that toured with Star Fox in it) wore aprons. In Ontario (Canada that is), the employees must have worn the jackets while touring and in the same ones in the finals. I cannot remember that far back.

What I do remember is getting a jacket to wear (I was some what of a main stay or a celeb if you will because of my dedication to obtaining high scores year-after-year) and ending up keeping it. This happened during the Super Mario competition on the SNES and the Super Star Fox Weekend the year after.

On a side note I even have my plaques some where.

The person who asked if I would sell it, probably not. They have sentimental value so I'm not sure if I'd be willing to sell them anytime soon.

I'm back home today so hopefully pictures will do my thread some justice..and the star fox jacket I have is not the bomber jacket that people have seen pictures of on the web..if that's the one some of you are referring to..

The aprons were worn by whomever was running the competition at each individual store, which was me. I still have the apron and the buttons that came with it. Don't have the cart though, they wouldn't let me have it.

EDIT-I see now that you posted in Evan G's thread about this, sorry about that.
