To commemorate “The Moment The Game Changed,” Mitchell & Ness re-released Michael Jordan‘s rookie jersey. The jersey itself is tailored to the exact specifications of the one that Jordan wore in 1984-85. These jerseys will release exactly 25-years after MJ graced the NBA hardwood (October 26, 1984). The Mitchell & Ness store in Philly, NBA Store in NYC, The Chicago Bulls team store, and NBAstore.com will be the only places to buy the jerseys, which retail for $375.
Mitchell & Ness delivered one of these jerseys to me last week. Upon removing the dust cover and opening the meticulously designed Mitchell & Ness box, I found one of the greatest gifts/perks that I have ever received. Mitchell & Ness produced 1,264 jerseys to reflect the number of games Jordan played as a pro. This number includes the regular season, All-Star, and playoffs. Each jersey is stitched with a number from 1-1264, to represent a specific game. An elegant plaque fastened inside the commemorative box is etched with the specific details of the date and game. For example, I received game number 879 of 1264. My plaque reads, “Your jersey represents game #879 in the career of Michael Jordan. Game #879 was held March 18, 1996 as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94. Michael Jordan’s stat line that day included 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists.” I was hoping to get the game where MJ dropped 55 on the Knicks right after his first comeback… so I could burn it! Oh well…

I ain't paying 400$ for it. And if I did buy it, I would wear it out.
Just bought mine from M&N today. The sales guy said the store received 23 jerseys before the Oct 26 release date. Get em while they last. Woot woot
m&n store or online store?
you guys are idiots=350 for a replica jersey and a black case.
i can see 350 for an authentic jersey but a replica.
too smart, that IS an authentic jersey…read the caption, its specified to the jersey's worn 25 years ago…25 years ago this is what the jerseys looked like, they werent sewn on names and numbers like today, check it out on some video, all jersey were screened like that, the jersey matieral is like the authentics of today, just not sewn name and numbers.
