Mitchell & Ness Michael Jordan's 1984 Olympics

 Vintage jersey and nostalgia company Mitchell & Ness has released a timely authentic retro of Michael Jordanā€˜s 1984 Team USA Olympic jersey and shorts, just in time for episodes three and four of ESPNā€™s critically-acclaimed The Last Dance docu-series.

The red uniform is notable because Michael wore it during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, years before the Dream Teamā€™s international fame and before professional athletes were permitted to compete (he was currently enrolled in classes at the University of North Carolina when he led the team to that yearā€™s Gold Medal). The release keeps the deep-V neck-line popular from that era and features a ā€˜USA Basketball Classicsā€™ patch complete with the year and Michael Jordanā€™s name (which doesnā€™t appear on the back of the jersey). Mitchell & Ness also debuted a matching pair of shorts with ā€˜USAā€™ written down the side piping, available now in select quantities.

You can purchase Michael Jordanā€™s No. 9 Team USA jersey from the 1984 USA Olympics today for $275 USD via Mitchell & Ness.

In more The Last Dance-related updates, Michael Jordanā€™s authentic, game-used and hand-signed 1992 Olympic ā€œDream Teamā€ jersey sold at-auction for $216,000 USD.
