NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, October 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — The tie-dyed Slam Dunking Skeleton T-Shirts turned a world sensation on the world stage of the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. The Tie-Dyed tees had been worn by the Lithuanian Men’s Olympic Basketball Team whereas receiving Olympic bronze medals changing into half of sports activities historical past and one of the most uncommon and memorable moments of the ’92 Summer Olympics.
Millions of viewers round the world wished to know the place they got here from, who created them and the place they may purchase one. The way-out warmups had been truly created by New York dressmaker and Licensor Greg Speirs. Once the shirts began promoting they turned the hottest collectible. The designer who created them noticed it as nice alternative to assist the group and Lithuanian charities. So as soon as the shirts began to be offered the designer selected to donate all of what would have been his earnings to the group. Instead of receiving any royalties, he selected to donate 100% of what would have been his earnings from the gross sales of his shirts to fund the group and to subsequently fund Lithuanian youngsters’s charities. At that time he turned the main funder of the group.
“Greg noticed it as nice alternative to assist the group and Lithuanian charities. The means that Greg’s connection and large donation was just about unreported in ‘92 is worthy of a Paul Harvey fashion ‘Rest of the Story’ section,” says Mike Thompson, Slammin Sports/ Skullman.com spokesman.
The uniforms were created independently by a New York designer and brand Licensor Greg Speirs who decided to create something fun for the team to wear for the Olympics in the form of 20 shirts. Not to sell. No money was to be made. The former 1970’s Grooves rock magazine creator came into this story as an independent creator. The Lithuania Tie Dyed Slam Dunking Skullman® is actually an independent property originating from the designer. Speirs came up in the New York advertising and publishing world in the 1970’s and 1980’s, which he described as the center of the universe for advertising and media. His art was seen in advertising campaigns & major magazines, on major book covers and record albums, which included the strange, science fiction genres to horror and creepy skeleton art, with clients which included Sesame Street, The Electric Company, the PGA Tour, Polydor & RCA Records and promoted his apparel and greeting card company. He was named to Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World from 1999 to the present and to the Society of Illustrators in New York in 1975 and 1976.
Skullman was also enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame on Dec. 07, 1993: http://www.lithuaniatshirt.com/basketball%20hall%20of%20fame.htm
The story about the famous shirt was also documented in the in the 2012 movie: “The Other Dream Team.” The movie highlights the Lithuanians’ experiences behind the Iron Curtain, the place elite athletes had been subjected to brutalities of Communist rule. As they hid from KGB brokers and feared for his or her lives, Lithuania’s basketball stars shared a typical objective – to make the most of their athletic presents to assist free their nation. Aside from the hardships on the highway to the 92′ Olympics, the movie celebrates the artist’s iconic Skullman tie-dyed uniforms, now an historic piece of Olympic historical past and Lithuanian basketball tradition.

“It’s all about independence, and the freedom to pursue dreams without interference. The Lithuanians became independent after the Soviet breakaway and the Berlin Wall came down. A lot of things were happening simultaneously in the Baltic states. The Lithuanians were now independent and had the opportunity to flourish and pursue their dreams in freedom. The 1992 Lithuanian Basketball Team really symbolizes a spirit of freedom to me, and winning the bronze medal was not only a victory in sports but also symbolized a triumph over communism itself. It was a feeling of pride, independence and freedom. Independence means we have the freedom to succeed or fail as individuals, benefit and flourish from the fruits of our labor in a free enterprise system without being oppressed. It’s all about freedom. You work together as a team, but also have the freedom to excel as an individual within that team. “The Lithuanian Team represents what occurs in freedom…individuals excel. stated Speirs.
“The brand has been marketed and sold consistently for 30 years. This is the 30th year Anniversary of the original 1992 shirt. A big part of the brand’s popularity and longevity is its collectability aspect. Demand and popularity increases to this day.” in keeping with Mike Thompson, licensing director of Slammin’ Sports®.
