TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: CT Designer’s Genius Jacket Is a Game-Changer for Sports Fans

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: CT Designer’s Genius Jacket Is a Game-Changer for Sports Fans

In today’s Tell Me Something Good story we learn about the Connecticut designer who is getting major attention for uniting fans of different teams under one epic jacket. Alex Ruffin’s “Madison Square Guardian” jacket combines vintage Knicks and Rangers gear into a single, stylish piece that a fan of both teams can wear proudly. Handmade and up-cycled from thrifted items, these jackets have been turning heads from the streets of Connecticut all the way to Madison Square Garden. They’ve even been spotted on some famous pro athletes like Knicks star Jalen Brunson, who has been rocking the $1,400 “Madison Square Guardian” jacket. Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. also was wearing one of Alex’s jackets, the “Hometown Hero” Yankees/Knicks design. A few rappers like Westside Gunn, Anderson .Paak, Lil Yachty and Big Sean are also big fans of Alex’s work. 

Alex’s company A Thrifted Temple is now getting a lot of attention in the sports and fashion world. And it all started right here in Connecticut.

Now, me being from Boston, I was shocked to see that even as a NY fan he has created this sweet Celtics/Patriots jacket! You can see all the rest of his creations at athriftedtemple.com

Meet Dublin! This week’s Connecticut Humane Society Pet of the Week. He’s a tiny, mostly white kitten with a splash of black on his head that looks just like a stylish little cap. At just a month old, Dublin came in with his mom and siblings and is gearing up to find his forever home. He’s playful, cuddly, and still figuring out life (nap schedules are very important). During the segment Kathryn and I also chatted about the Connecticut Humane Society’s Pet Food Pantry Program, which helps fill hungry bellies for pets and families in need. Want to help?

Ford and Bridget have been together for two years but not married yet. They live separately but both love his puppy very much. He got the puppy when they first started dating and it’s almost as though they love the puppy as co-owners- but every night, the dog goes home with him. He lives at his house. They don’t live together yet and she would like it if the puppy could spend a few nights a week at her place. She has about eight months left on her lease, then they plan to move in together and she wants to have “joint custody” until then. He thinks it’s too much for the dog to have to have two homes. She thinks it’ll just help make them closer when the move finally happens.
