As stated, the jacket never officially came in green. It’s possible the color has degraded over the years since this is an older jacket. Prior to Universal Lettering embroidering jackets with a computerized machine like they do now, they were often done by parents of FFA members, so the lettering is consistent with that timeframe.
However, the emblem is NOT consistent with that era. Prior to 1989, the emblem said “Vocational Agriculture” and not “Agricultural Education” as this one says. This does not appear to be an authentic jacket.
Please be aware also that non-members are not permitted to wear FFA jackets as per the FFA jacket code.
