The History of Mitchell & Ness
In 1904, Frank Mitchell and Charles Ness set the future of authentic in motion when they met up in Philadelphia to establish Mitchell & Ness Sporting Goods. At first, they specialised in stringing tennis racquets, constructing custom-made golf clubs and making uniforms for local Philly baseball and football teams.
In 1933, the Mitchell & Ness label made their NFL debut when they started making uniforms for the Philadelphia Eagles, a partnership that would continue for 30 years. Not long after, in 1938, Mitchell & Ness entered professional baseball, producing uniforms for the Philadelphia Athletics, as well as outfitting the Phillies a few years later.
In 1985, Mitchell & Ness received a request that helped them pivot in a new direction. A customer inquired about making repairs to his game-worn 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates vest and his game-worn 1949 St. Louis Browns jersey. This sparked an idea that would change everything. Craft historically-accurate, vintage, authentic baseball jerseys and apparel. Hence, Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. was born.
Today, Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. offers authentic vintage jerseys and apparel collections for the MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA and MLS.
HERE ARE OUR TOP PICKS!
Los Angeles Lakers Dennis Rodman #73 '98-'99 Road Swingman Jersey
The Mitchel & Ness '98-'99 Rodman Swingman Jersey, is one of those rare stamps in history. This is where Dennis Rodman joined bitter rivals the Los Angeles Lakers for the '98 - '99 season, chasing NBA glory with the likes Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. Unfortunately, this season wasnt the honeymoon everyone expected, with the Lakers falling out of the playoffs in the Conference Semi- Finals to the Tim Duncan led, San-Anontio Spurs.
Although this season wasn't the best time in Dennis Rodman's career, it represented a time-stamp in his life where he got it live it up in the big-smoke for the first time, truely enjoying what life had to offer. Later that year, the partying potentially got the best of him resulting in the Lakers parting way with the Hall of Famer, due to arriving at practice late.
Los Angeles Lakers 3-Peat Collection
There hasn't been many teams in NBA history that can call themselves '3 Peaters'. From first memory we have the Bill Russell led Boston Celtics to the Micheal Jordon led Chicago Bulls! But one of the most iconic 3-Peats is undoubtedly the 1999 - 2002 Los Angeles Lakers.
For something that almost felt like an eternity to happen, with the Lakers going so close, many times. The Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'neal one - two punch was way to potent between the years of 1999-2002, with the pair taking the league by storm beating Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.
With this 3-Peat, Mitchell & Ness have created an iconic collection celebrating and remembering this enormous feat.
Las Vegas Raiders Bo Jackson #34 N&N Oversized T-Shirt
There hasn't been a more destructive running back in the NFL, than Bo Jackson when playing for the Oakland Raiders from 1987 - 1990. Over his short but sweet career Bo rushed for over 2,782 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry. All that for a guy that started his career in the MLB. Not bad huh!
The cool thing about this piece, is that it combines the best of both worlds. With the tee featuring the same graphics as a jersey however in the silhouette of a high quality vintage t-shirt.
We are just touching the surface too! Stocking thousands of Mitchell & Ness product at Culture Kings, across MLB, NBA and the NFL. With a product for almost every team, there is something for everybody. Making Mitchell & Ness Mondays a celebration for all!
