ORIGINAL LITHUANIAN TIE DYE JERSEYS RESURFACE FOR 2008

 

     For Release - 09-02-08 - Yonkers, N.Y.- The 2008 Edition of the Original Lithuanian tie dye basketball Jerseys has been reissued. The jerseys have been released as an exclusive from skullman.com and are authorized by their original artist.

 

The Skullman Slam-Dunking Skeleton trademark became a household icon when first seen by the world adorning tie dyed jerseys worn by the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team at the closing medal ceremonies in the Barcelona 1992 Olympics. The back of this year's edition denotes the 2008 reissue year. Each shirt will be individually signed and numbered by the original artist which may only enhance their value as collectibles.

The skullman design was created independently by Olympics sports artist Greg Speirs. The artist donated 100% of his profits in 1992 to fund the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team's journey to the Olympics, after their newly found independence and breakaway from the Soviet Union. He gave all further of his profits that year to Lithuanian children's charities which amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

This year we will be on the lookout for infringers. We warn all infringers that they will be pursued and prosecuted for unauthorized and illegal use of intellectual property with the full power of federal law, said Greg Speirs of Skullman.com. The Slam Dunking Skeleton and Lithuanian Tie Dye brand are copyright and registered trademarks of the artist.

 

This year profits from the sale of 2008 Lithuania Tie Dye Jerseys are used to pay for feral cat spay and neuter rescue programs.

  

Speirs is named in the 2008, Edition of Who’s Who in America and to the 2008, 22th Year Edition of Who’s Who in the World. http://www.marquiswhoswho.net/gregspeirs , also known for creating the famous ‘Monk Bobsleds’ design commissioned by Prince Albert of Monaco for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.
