In 1904, former tennis and wrestling champ Frank P. Mitchell partnered with Scottish golfer Charles M. Ness to form a Philadelphia sports store. By 1925, their success grew as the business expanded to include two major league baseball clubs - the Philadelphia Athletics and Philadelphia Phillies, with the Eagles also supporting Mitchell & Ness both on and off the field. These days the apparel is universally popular, making frequent appearances in music videos and magazines.
