1992 Larry Bird USA Basketball Olympic “Dream Team” Autographed Game Jersey

Larry Bird’s 1992 Olympic Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History

An Icon of the Game

Larry Bird, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, has left an indelible mark on the sport. As a member of the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, his legacy is further immortalized with his No. 33 jersey retired by the Boston Celtics. Bird’s illustrious career is celebrated with two inductions into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, both for his personal achievements and as a member of the legendary Dream Team.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

This remarkable jersey, designed for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, is a testament to Bird’s enduring legacy. The front left tail features the Champion manufacturer’s tag, size “46,” accompanied by washing instructions. Adjacent to this is a tag that reads, “DESIGNED AND TAILORED EXCLUSIVELY FOR 1992 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES.” The left inseam includes two flag tags indicating “100% POLYESTER” and “3” EXTRA BODY LENGTH.”

• Champion Logo: Embroidered on the upper left chest.
• USA Basketball: Proudly displayed across the chest.
• Player Number: The number “7” is screened on both the front and back in red on blue.
• Player Name: “BIRD” is screened in red across the back.

A Signature of Excellence

Adding to its allure, Larry Bird has signed the front of the jersey in red marker, with the signature rating a near 8 in our opinion. This jersey was originally sourced from the renowned clothing designer Jeff Hamilton and was presented to us as game-used at the time. However, it features the alternate style of name on the back and was possibly used in promotional events. Despite this, the jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows signs of use.

Accompanied by Authenticity

This extraordinary piece of basketball memorabilia comes with an ALOA from JSA, ensuring its place in the annals of sports history. As a collector, owning such a jersey is not just about possessing a piece of fabric; it is about holding a fragment of basketball’s storied past.

For those interested in expanding their sports memorabilia collection, this jersey represents a unique opportunity. It is a symbol of Larry Bird’s unparalleled contributions to the game and a testament to his enduring legacy.
