Historical Context & Provenance
The following documentation captures the discovery, verification,
and confirmed provenance of this artifact through direct rider correspondence.
Connor Fields – Answer BMX Factory Jersey - Autographed - Factory Misprint
Connor Fields – Answer BMX Factory Jersey - Autographed - Factory Misprint
Connor Fields is one of the most accomplished BMX racers of the modern era, best known for winning the gold medal in BMX racing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro—the first Olympic gold for the United States in the sport.
During his professional career, Fields raced for several top teams, including Answer BMX, a brand closely associated with elite-level competition. This factory misprint jersey, produced in the early 2000s, represents an early chapter in his riding history—later connected to BMX legend Harry Leary through a confirmed personal exchange between the two riders.
The jersey preserved in the Lititz BMX Archive represents Fields’ time with the Answer BMX factory team and carries a unique story tied to BMX legend Harry Leary. The jersey is autographed by Connor Fields and was sent directly to Leary after he recognized the jersey during an online giveaway of items from Fields’ personal collection.
Adding to the historical interest of the piece, the jersey is a factory misprint, with Fields’ name incorrectly spelled “Conner Fields.” Production errors like this are uncommon in professional team gear and make the jersey a distinctive artifact connected to both Fields’ racing career and the personal interaction between two generations of BMX athletes.
