    I think the better question is why did you post this in the boxing forum

    It pains you??? Are you crazy?? So what if its a basketball symbol, that symbol is Michael Jordan who many people consider the greatest ATHLETE of all time. And he shows the love and intrest to sponsor USA amateur boxing, which we all know boxing doesent get as many sponsors and things like that anymore. If you ask me are uniforms were very nice, and I bet all the fighters were happy to have **** that nice, especially compared to the other countries. I think they should get credit for showing boxing some love. Jordan brand also sponsors pro fighters like Roy jones and Andre Ward.

    It's because Jordan is a brand name that produces boxing equipment now, not just basketball gear. They produce all kinds of clothes now, it's a fashion line. Jordan was the equipment supplier for team USA this year, they designed the uniforms and shoes at the Olympic Trials and for the guys who go to the finals of Nationals as well as the Olympic Team uniforms and shoes.

    :lol: It's not like they're fighting with an NBA logo patch on their back. You've never seen Jordan clothing?
