NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The tie-dyed Slam Dunking Skeleton Olympic uniforms became an international sensation on the world stage of the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. The Tie-Dyed tees were worn by the Lithuanian Men's Olympic Basketball Team when they received their bronze medals on the Olympic podium, becoming part of Olympics history and one of the most unusual and memorable moments of the '92 Summer Olympic Games.— Mike Thompson
Created by NYC street artist Greg Speirs, the Slammin’ Skullman® Olympic uniforms became a legendary piece of Olympics history and forever part of Olympics folklore.
At that moment the artist’s Slammin Skeleton® & Lithuania Tie Dye® Brands were launched. The brands have enjoyed longevity of almost three decades marketed through Skullman.com continuously since that 1992 event.
The Lithuanian Slam-Dunking Skullman® represented the artist's interpretation of a team rising from nothing, "Like a Phoenix from the ashes to slam-dunking a flaming basketball to an Olympic bronze victory. "It's not a dead skeleton, but represents rebirth and a new life. It was not only a victory in Olympic sports, but it was as if it were a triumph over communism itself," recalled Speirs, featured in the 2012 basketball documentary movie, "The Other Dream Team" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3998173/

Skullman ® was "enshrined" at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. on Dec.7th 1993, living in infamy becoming the first & only cartoon character to be "enshrined" in any Hall of Fame:
