PHOTO: President Obama’s Leather Bomber Jacket For The Carrier Classic

Everything about the Carrier Classic is awesome. Basketball, Veteran’s Day, an aircraft carrier ... it’s just so perfect. It’s enough to make anyone want to scream out “AMERICA” or “I’m on a boat.” This, friends, is how every basketball game should be played.

And you can’t tell me you don’t want this leather Air Force One bomber jacket President Barack Obama is rocking for the festivities.

Clearly a brand-new jacket being worn for the first time. If it was me, I’d probably never take the thing off.

For more on this game, Tar Heels fans should visit Carolina March while Spartans fans should join The Only Colors and SB Nation Detroit. Be sure to stay tuned to our Carrier Classic StoryStream for everything else taking place around this historic game.
