1984 Los Angeles Olympics "Official Staff" Levi’s Orange Tab Polo

$40.00

Product Overview

An authentic piece of sporting history, this 1984 Los Angeles Olympics official staff uniform polo was produced by Levi Strauss & Co. under their specialized Movin’ On line. Unlike the standard souvenir merchandise sold to the public, this garment was issued exclusively to staff members of the XXIII Olympiad, providing it a level of archival significance that standard retail pieces lack. The shirt features the official Olympic staff insignia and the iconic rings alongside the 1984 date, all rendered in the bold, high-contrast aesthetic that defined the LA Games.

Details & History

This polo is a standout example of early-80s Levi’s sportswear, utilizing the Orange Tab branding which was traditionally reserved for the company's more fashion-forward and experimental sub-lines. The construction features a distinctive snap-button collar closure—a unique deviation from the standard button-down style—and era-specific color blocking in vibrant green and orange. While your title suggests domestic production, the internal details confirm this was assembled in Taiwan R.O.C., which was common for the Levi’s Movin' On and activewear lines during this specific period of the early 1980s. The single-stitch construction and soft poly-cotton blend provide the authentic vintage drape and "broken-in" feel that modern performance gear cannot replicate.

Condition & Measurements

The garment is in exceptional vintage condition, presenting with remarkable color saturation and structural integrity for a 40-year-old uniform piece. There are no holes, stains, or structural failures observed, and the snap hardware operates smoothly. The fabric maintains a clean, uniform texture with no significant pilling. Given the athletic tailoring of the 1980s, the measurements provide a modern Small to Medium fit, characterized by the trimmer chest and slightly shorter body length typical of the era.

Tag Size: Medium

Pit to Pit: 18 inches

Length: 23 inches
