Brian Weisner Hi guys,
I attended every Carolina home game between 1977-1989, and still make most of them today. I also was lucky enough to get to know most of the players and the staff including the managers, so I know a little about how jersey's were distributed. I'll dig out my pictures of Michael in the warm up shirt in question and post them when I can this afternoon or evening, and maybe even a few practices jersey's given to me by some of the guys, including Joe Wolf.
While I'm sure Michael does have his original cover up, it is very possible that he had several during that 3 year period, and that one could have been recycled for another player. It's also even more likley that Jordan's name could have been replaced on one of Jimmy Black's or Buzz Peterson's shirts. After all this wasn't an uncommon practice before the shoe companies started providing the schools with enough equipment to arm a small army. I'll do a little digging tonight and post my findings, and let you make your own decisions. Be well Brian
