Founded in Philadelphia in 1904 as a sporting goods company, Mitchell & Ness is a leading provider of high-quality vintage and lifestyle sports apparel. The iconic brand was acquired in 2022 by Fanatics and a strategic ownership group comprised of some of the biggest names in sports, entertainment, and business. Mitchell & Ness continues to expand its legacy in the premium sportswear, streetwear, and headwear categories with strategic lifestyle brand collaborations and dynamic licensing relationships with preeminent sports properties – including the NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, MLS and many leading colleges and universities. 

Since the acquisition, the brand has added new rights across several leagues and players associations, including a new league-wide licensing deal with the NHL, and an expanded headwear and throwback jersey catalogue with MLB. Mitchell & Ness also counts nearly 100 of the top colleges and universities in its portfolio that hold a mix of current and vintage marks/licenses – including Alabama, Oregon, Kentucky, Penn State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Clemson, Florida State and Georgia. 

Mitchell & Ness operates as a separate, distinct brand within the Fanatics Commerce division with offices located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Irvine, California, and select international markets.
