Presented is the red blazer worn by former heavyweight champion and United States Olympian Evander Holyfield during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This blazer has an off-white inner lining with the “USA” Olympic rings logo throughout. The jacket has two pockets on the front, both on the bottom tails, with a left breast pocket that has a “1984 OLYMPIC TEAM LOS ANGELES” patch. Two gold buttons with the Los Angeles Olympics logo are on the front with three small buttons with the same logo on each sleeve. A pin that reads “WORLD CLASS BOXER” on a red, white, and blue ribbon with an Uncle Sam American Eagle character is on the left lapel. The inner lining has a “MADE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE 1984 OLYMPIC TEAM BY LEVI STRAUSS & CO.” tag sewn on the inner pocket, and is a great piece of Olympic memorabilia from one of boxing’s all-time greats.
