Michael Jordan’s 1992 Olympic Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
The Legacy of Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan, often hailed as the greatest player in the modern era of basketball, led the Chicago Bulls to an astounding six NBA titles. His prowess on the court is further underscored by his status as the all-time NBA career leader in scoring average. Alongside Wilt Chamberlain, Jordan is one of the only players to lead the NBA in scoring for seven consecutive seasons. His accolades include five-time League MVP and six-time NBA Finals MVP honors. A member of the original USA Olympic Dream Team in 1992, Jordan also clinched an Olympic Gold Medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
The 1992 Olympic Jersey
This remarkable jersey, worn by Jordan during the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, is a testament to his enduring legacy. On the front tail of the jersey is the “CHAMPION” exclusive tag, which reads “Designed & Tailored Exclusively for 1992 Summer Olympic Games.” Adjacent to this is the “CHAMPION” size “46” manufacturer’s wash tag. The inside inseam features two tags: a “100% NYLON” tag and another indicating “3” EXTRA BODY LENGTH.”
- Design: The jersey proudly displays “USA” in red and white screen print across the front.
- Number and Name: The player number “9” is emblazoned in red on white screen print, both on the front and back, with “JORDAN” in white screen print across the back.
- Champion Logo: The front left shoulder bears the “C” Champion logo patch.
- Autograph: An autograph on the back number, in black marker, rates an 8.
The shorts accompanying the jersey are equally significant. Inside the back waistband is the “CHAMPION” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and size “36”. The back inseam features three flag tags marked “100% Nylon”, “2 Inch Extra Inseam”, and “2 Inch Extra Rise”. The Champion logo patch is prominently displayed on the upper left front, and the “USA Basketball” logo is screened on both sides of the legs.
