Dominique Dawes and Dot Richardson - Signed '96 Olympics Original Crewneck

Description: Dominique Dawes and Dot Richardson - Signed '96 Olympics Original Crewneck. Size is Medium. This fades a ton in the sun or light and has faded a ton already but the marker used for the top signatures was always faint due to the pen or sharpie or marker that was used at the time. They signed this twice (both of them). Some stains and imperfections due to storage along with dust and environmental patina. Overall, remained nice for age minus the faded signatures but regardless this vintage original crew is a rare and super cool find!
