Measuring 30 x 96 inches, this lengthy, double-sided street lamp sign was issued by the mayor’s office of the City of Chicago in anticipation of Michael Jordan’s 1995 return to the Chicago Bulls after a one-year hiatus, and hung on the street lamps overlooking the city. This sturdy, bright-red plastic canvas measures more than seven feet in length and is emblazoned on both sides with the words “He’s Back,” across the top. Jordan’s big new number “45” in black with white trim occupies the middle with “Welcome Home Michael Jordan” in white letters with black trim scrawled above an official “City of Chicago Richard M. Daley, Mayor” authorization written at the bottom. Ready to be re-hung with looped ends for dowel inserts and aluminum circle wall-hanging rivets.
