Modegeschichte
Founded in 1904 by Frank Mitchell and Charles Ness in Philadelphia, the company originally produced tennis rackets and golf clubs. It later manufactured professional team uniforms for the Philadelphia Eagles and Athletics. In the 1980s, the brand began creating historically accurate reproductions of vintage jerseys. This shift integrated professional sports history into mainstream urban fashion and established a standard for authentic athletic apparel reproductions.
