Nike Sportswear Limited Issue 'Nike Olympic Trials Covert' T-Shirt

Nike Sportswear Limited Issue 'Nike Olympic Trials Covert' T-Shirt.

"In the days leading up to the 1972 U.S. Olympic marathon trials, Mark Covert went to a fledgling running company's store at 855 Olive St. in Eugene for a free T-shirt.

To drum up grassroots buzz for their parent company's recent transition from Blue Ribbon Sports to Nike, store employees gave away hand-screened T-shirts with Nike's logo on the front and runners' names on the back. Covert got his in the orange of Cal State Fullerton, where he starred as a distance runner.

Covert was also given a pair of Nike Moon Shoes in which he completed the 1972 Marathon trials, becoming the first pair of Nikes to cross a finish line".
