Though superheroes have made a push back into the mainstream with the inundation of blockbuster movies playing on screens around the world, hardcore superhero fandom is still a little on the nerdy side, so Hero Within's Justice League jackets let consumers represent their favorite heroes in a discrete way.
The jackets have logos of some of the heroes from the Justice League, the DC Comics mainstay, including Superman's crest, Batman's bat symbol, The Flash's bolt, and The Green Latern's ring, but these logos are subtly placed onto the jackets. For instance, the Batman and Superman blazers have the respective logos stitched into their backs such that it looks almost like the stitch is just part of the basic makeup of the jacket (rather than an intentional design.)
