The story about Greg's Tie Dyes was a major news event impacting popular culture, took it’s place in sports history & had a major influence on future sports fashion, changing how it was looked at.”
— Mike Thompson

NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 27, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Created by NYC street artist Greg Speirs, the tie-dyed Slam Dunking Skeleton T-Shirts 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 while receiving Olympic bronze medals becoming part of sports history and one of the most unusual and memorable moments of the '92 Summer Olympics.


Slammin’ Skullman® became a legendary 







piece of Olympics history and forever part of Olympic folklore.

The artist’s trademarked Lithuanian Slam

Dunking Skeleton® & Lithuania Tie Dye® Brands were launched. The brands have enjoyed longevity of almost three decades marketed through Skullman.com continuously since 1992.

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 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/
Full cast: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606829/ Greg Speirs is also the former creative director of the 1970’s rock magazine Grooves.

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:http://www.lithuaniatshirt.com/basketball%20hall%20of%20fame.htm ;
