The Original Lithuanian basketball T-Shirt design was actually created independently by New York artist Greg Speirs. The Original Lithuanian tie dyed uniforms first appeared in the 1992 Barcelona summer Olympics and featured Speirs' original Lithuanian slam-dunking skeleton "Skullman™". Through the artist's generosity, merchandising of his Lithuania basketball uniforms design, raised MAJOR FUNDS of over $400,000.00 for the Lithuanian basketball team and Lithuanian children's charities during the Olympics and became his trademark brand. The artist's design caused nothing less than a sensation at the 1992 Olympics when it was unveiled to the world worn by the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team, at the Olympic closing medal ceremonies. Speirs donated 100% of his profits to the team and Lithuanian children's charities. (The original Skullman™ Slam Dunking Skeleton).

The Lithuanian Tie Dye Olympic jerseys were seen by the world worn by the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team in at the closing medal ceremonies in Barcelona 1992. The jersey’s became a household icon when thousands were sold to raise money for the Olympic team. Due to the artist’s generosity, approx. ½ million dollars was given to fund the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team and to Lithuanian children's charities. 100% of the artist’s profits went to the Lithuanian Olympic team and charity. http://www.skullman.com
SOURCE OF THE DESIGN: Setting the record straight regarding confusion with the actual source of the design, it is owned and was created independently by Speirs. “It started out as a way to raise money for the team, but the thing that made it part of sports history was that this was basically the first time a chance was taken with such a “way out” design in Olympic sports. Up to that time uniforms in sports were very simple and pretty much limited to a number and name. Thus it ended up getting a lot of attention and became a way to generate a tremendous amount of money for the team", recalled Speirs.
TODAY'S CHARITY:
Today’s profits from the sale of Lithuania tie dye Jerseys are used to pay for feral cat spay and neuter programs, vaccinations, adoption efforts for kittens and adult cats. Efforts include feeding and maintaining feral cat colonies of spayed and neutered cats. For a list of cats for adoption go to: www.skullman.com/cat_rescue.htm “Our philosophy here is: Not to go through life looking to be entertained, but to accomplish something worthwhile, and that’s what we try to do with the cat rescues. To be good stewards with the resources that God has provided us with so the world is just a little bit better after our effort. To me, that’s more satisfying.” Greg Speirs
