Greg Speirs – American Artist Creator of 1992 Skullman Lithuanian basketball Tie dye Uniforms. Created 26 Years ago by NYC artist licensor Greg Speirs, the tie-dyed Slam Dunking Skeleton uniforms became international news on the world stage of the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics. The jerseys were worn by the Lithuanian Men’s Olympic Basketball Team on the bronze metal podium becoming part of sports history as on of the most unusual and memorable moments of the Olympics. The Slam-Dunking Skullman became a focus of pride for the team, part of Olympic history as a legendary piece of Lithuania’s basketball culture now forever part of the folklore of Lithuanian. The original skeleton design represents the artist’s interpretation of a team rising from nothing Like a Phoenix from the ashes to slam dunking a basketball to bronze victory. It’s not a dead skeleton at ll. But this skeleton represents rebirth and a new life. It was no only a victory in Olympic sports, but it was as if it were a triumph over communism itself, recall Speirs. The major funding sponsoring the 1992 Lithuanian Olympic Men’s Basketball Team came primarily from the artist donating 100% of his profits to the team.
