Vintage Gear: Nike “Barcelona Ball” T-Shirt

In 1992, professional players were finally allowed to participate in the Olympics which meant that the United States had a point to prove that basketball was its sport for global dominance. So naturally, they took the best All-Stars from the NBA and destroyed opponents by an average of 43.8 points while the other teams’ players waited in line during warm-ups to get their autographs. Today’s vintage gear is a rare Nike promotional item from the 1992 era (that couldn’t explicitly state the Olympic Games) so it instead opted to shout out Barcelona with a screen printed image of Nike athletes spanning from Michael Jordan – placed front and center wearing the Air Jordan V – to even Chris Mullin. Head to the gallery to get a look at this one of a kind item and pick it up today from meyeker on eBay.
