In 1904, former tennis and wrestling champ, Frank P. Mitchell partners with Scottish golfer Charles M. Ness to form a sporting goods store on Arch Street in Philadelphia, PA. Mitchell & Ness Sporting Goods specialized in handcrafted tennis racquets, golf clubs, and other equipment. After the widespread success of the Cooperstown Collection, the NBA, NFL, and NHL grant Mitchell & Ness licenses. The jerseys become increasingly popular among entertainers and athletes, making frequent appearances in music videos and magazines. While trends come and go, Mitchell & Ness jerseys and snapback caps remain popular among sports’ greatest enthusiast: the true fan. In 2005, after numerous requests from collectors, Mitchell & Ness acquires its most recent license, the CLC College Vault label. A year later, Mitchell & Ness is granted the exclusive rights to reproduce Authentic Michael Jordan jerseys.
