Rare vintage 1970s mens 1/4 zip pullover windbreaker in blue & gray with TWO Nike spell out logos - actually made in the USA .
This jacket was made and sold BEFORE Nike was granted the two trademarks - 1 for the name "Nike" and the other for the iconic "swoosh. US trademark law requires items submitted for USPTO trademark protection must be shown to have been used in commerce as part of the application.

The TM signifies that a trademark has been applied for but NOT YET GRANTED. ALSO - the Swoosh on the label is ORANGE and not red.
