Michael Jordan’s 1992 Olympic “Dream Team” Jersey: A Legendary Artifact

An Iconic Moment in Basketball History

The 1992 United States Men’s Olympic Basketball Team, famously known as the “Dream Team,” is widely regarded as the greatest basketball team ever assembled. Competing in Barcelona, Spain, this team featured 11 players who have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Among these legends, Michael Jordan stood out as the best player, a six-time NBA champion and Finals MVP. Jordan was the only player to start in all eight games during the 1992 Olympic Men’s Basketball Tournament for Team USA.

The Jersey: A Symbol of Excellence

This remarkable piece of basketball memorabilia is a testament to Jordan’s unparalleled legacy. The jersey is adorned with the “USA BASKETBALL” insignia, screen-printed in red and navy blue over the white mesh fabric. The player number “9” is prominently displayed on both the front and back, painted in red with a navy blue border. Across the back, the name “JORDAN” is painted in red, a signature mark of the legendary player.

• Manufacturer’s Tags: The front left tail features a “Champion” size “46” tag with washing instructions, alongside another tag that reads, “DESIGNED AND TAILORED EXCLUSIVELY FOR: 1992 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES”.
• Material and Design: The jersey is made of 100% polyester with a “3” EXTRA BODY LENGTH” tag on the left inseam.
• Embroidered Details: A Champion logo is embroidered on the left chest, adding to the jersey’s authenticity and appeal.

A Jersey with a Story

Presented to us as game-used, this jersey shows excellent use with considerable sweat staining, a testament to its authenticity. It is accompanied by a hand-written letter of provenance from NBA personality reporter Craig Sager, on Turner Sports letterhead. Sager was informed by Executive Director of the US Olympic Committee, Harvey Schiller, that this was one of only two jerseys Jordan wore during the 1992 Olympic games retained by the USOC. This is the only fully documented game-used Jordan “Dream Team” jersey with lineage dating back to Barcelona, making it the finest example that exists.

Provenance and Authenticity

The jersey was uncovered in 1994 with Jordan’s autograph already in place. It was purchased at the original Olympic Committee auction in its current state. While JSA was unable to form an educated opinion on the autograph, Grey Flannel Auctions stands behind it 100%, offering to have the original autograph professionally removed and replaced by MJ himself if the winning bidder desires. This commitment underscores the jersey’s authenticity and the auction house’s dedication to customer satisfaction.

Accompanied by the original auction placard, which bears the United States Olympic Committee stamp, the jersey is described as “MICHAEL JORDAN’S DREAM TEAM JERSEY – WORN BY: MICHAEL JORDAN 1992 OLYMPICS – SUBMITTED: USA BASKETBALL – VALUE: PRICELESS”. This extraordinary piece is not just a jersey; it is a fragment of basketball history, a symbol of Michael Jordan’s enduring legacy, and a testament to the greatness of the “Dream Team”.
