Jim Thorpe Games 1912 Black PO Hoody
“Victory is sweeter when you have known defeat.” Flashback a century, to the summer of 1912, in Stockholm, Sweden, where the world was gathered for the Olympic Games. Jim Thorpe didn’t just become the first Native American to win gold medals that day, he emerged as the greatest athlete of the 20th century, winning gold in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. He won despite having his shoes stolen and having to wear a pair of found mismatched shoes — an unthinkable disadvantage that he overcame. That day blazed a bright path. His mythical powers of native athleticism were rooted to the earth, but the world knew him after Stockholm. Some celebrated. Many resisted him. He endured racial discrimination his whole life. Yet he ran past that, too. Right into legendary status! Officially licensed by Jim Thorpe.
