USA Basketball Exclusive ‘Spirit of Freedom’ Laser Print

By Christian Grant-Fields

The Spirit of Freedom Laser Print

You guys have probably noticed already that I have been on an Olympic binge as of late. Well, I am not ashamed to say it; I am anxiously waiting August 8th when the games kick off. I think this year’s team is focused and hell-bent on bringing that gold medal back to the States.

What you probably haven’t noticed is the weird laser print all over the Men’s Senior National Team’s sneakers, jerseys, and apparel. The laser print is known as the ‘Spirit of Freedom,’ it is a collage of different symbols (from various cultures) that stand for freedom.

Some of the signs include; the African symbol of hardiness and perseverance, a Native American eagle and wings, the US Presidential seal, and a bleeding heart reppin Hispanic culture.

   Maybe not normally ash, but when it’s jazzed up like this it’s given more spirit than its political meaning has, I think.
