Heritage: Game Used '84 Jordan Olympic Jersey

[both-teams-played-hard]

Heritage Auctions currently has a 1984 Olympics game used Jordan jersey in their auction. I believe a forum member has a similar shirt, from UDA. I am NOT an expert. To the best of my knowledge, the Descente made USA Olympic shirts from 1984 have heat-pressed letters and numerals. The offered piece has sewn tackle twill. It also looks never-washed and too big for MJ. I very well could be wrong. Once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken. I tried to link this auction, but my computer machine kept crashing (conspiracy?). The starting bid is 10Gs. Let's dissect this item, please. Someone named Lou Lampson wrote a letter of authenticity.

This type of Jordan jersey and shorts were once for sale in quantity from an SCD ad many moons ago.

Do you remember which year these ads appeared on SCD? I am just curious because this was the only one that I have seen in the last 10 years and not the tackle twill version that has saturated the market.
