GFC Lot #197: 1992 Michael Jordan Olympic Dream Team Game-Used Road Jersey
Hi,
GFC currently has on their Summer 2009 auction, Lot #197: 1992 Michael Jordan Olympic Dream Team Game-Used Road Jersey.
http://greyflannelauctions.com/catalog.aspx?category=42
While looking into to the jersey, I noticed that there is no registered trademark on the lower/right hand corner of the USA BASKETBALL Logo.
I am attaching a close up photo on my GU 92 Away Dream Team jersey
I checked some pictures of Jordan wearing this jersey from GETTY's Images and you can see that the registered trademark is present.
Any thoughts on this?

i think that's pretty interesting. i guess the big question is why wouldn't there be a registered mark? i can't see it being a mfr error because the registered mark would be part of the whole "usa basketball" pattern that was heat-pressed on. it's not like the registered mark was heat-pressed seperately. so the pattern that was heat-pressed on the GFC jersey was lacking the registered mark. perhaps at the time that specific GFC pattern was heat-pressed, the logo hadn't yet been registered? perhaps the jersey is a sample or prototype that pre-dated the registering of the logo?
very interesting. can anyone show any pics of any of the members of the 1992 US squad wearing a blue jersey without a registered mark?

i noticed the white jerseys (yours and the one that sold for over $38k at REA) don't have any registered logo. i wonder why the blue ones do but not the white ones?

Could someone post or list the Getty photo number of the jersey WITH a trademark. I always thought the registered trademark was on retail jerseys.

i included an extra off-topic shot i found of jordan lacing up his sneakers because it's a rare pic showing the tagging.

You folks should contact Champion and ask your questions.

Joel,
Just curious, will Champion ever respond to a collector if they ask about any of the jerseys that they manufactured between 1990 to 1997, especially the Dream Team jersey or any ASG jersey?
If you have a contact at Champion USA, I would definitely send them an email and request a clarification regarding the registered trademark which is evident in the pictures from Gettys Images.
Regards,

Theo, I have never personally contacted Champion but it just seems if there are so many concerns, maybe Champion would know why some jerseys had an extra logo and others's don't.
I often remind people that the companies that make jerseys are not as anal as we are about tags and logos, as often there is a genuine diffrence because no one making the jerseys cared to look.
This is not always the case, but it is a reasonable thought process.
Nice to hear from you - Are you going to Springfield, MA this summer for the inductions?
