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.

Re: Heritage: Game Used '84 Jordan Olympic Jersey
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.Comment
