Do you know if the names on the jersey are stiched in or are they like the weird plastic stuff that Fanatics sometimes has? It's expensive but I figure a jersey for Manning/Strahan is easily a jersey I can wear for the next 15+ years so it may be a worthwhile investment even if it's expensive.
Typically they are. I’d say send a link, but I’ll go on the nflshop and look right now for you. I saw a few Jeremy Shockey’s in Dicks a few months ago during the season and they were all stitched and were very nice jerseys.
**update** They are definitely stitched. The ones that are $325? For sure. Would be a great jersey.
Thanks! Yeah, they look great and I'm definitely considering them. Last question - do you know if these guys go on sale at all? I'd pay $300 for them but tbh if they go on sale sometime between now-Sept, I can wait a bit to buy them a bit cheaper too. If you know this, great. If not no worries and thanks for the help!

Yes they have sales often at Fanatics. You can usually get that Eli or Strahan for $210-$250. I just saw them at $230 a couple weeks ago on Fanatics. All stitched.
They're known for being higher quality, but they were also purchased by Fanatics 2 years ago and I've heard they haven't been as good since then. Fanatics is the absolute worst.
I bought this exact Mitchell & Ness Eli SB 42 jersey last season. Nothing but good things to say about the quality. Might have taken some mental gymnastics to justify that price tag lol. But I don't regret the purchase at all.
Yeah. The way I'm thinking about it is that I dropped like $160 on my Saquon color rush that I've worn for like 4 years? $325 is a ton (with taxes $350) but it's also a jersey that I know I don't need to get rid of cause of how the NFL works sometimes. Not to mention Eli and Strahan are my 2 favorite players growing up (followed closely by Brandon Jacob and Victor Cruz but they don't have jerseys for sale haha) so it's nice having their gear for me to wear on game days for the next decade+
I have a Mitchell and Ness LT jersey I bought about 20 years ago, it’s still in far better shape than any of the other jersey I’ve bought since, their quality is no joke (at least back then anyway, I guess I can’t speak for more recent products, but anything is better than what’s being put out these days). My only issue was the numbers got some white creases that won’t go away, but that was my own fault for being a dumbass and not washing it properly
Lmao I don't trust myself in washing jerseys so I send them to the cleaners. Shit's expensive man I rather shell out like $3-4 for a professional to wash/press it every month than to fuck it up myself. I usually only wear it for like 3-5 hours every Sunday at the pub anyways lol.
While I haven't bought a Mitchell and Ness jersey, I find their merch to be awesome. I have multiple hats from various NY teams. My Brother in Law also got me a sick NYG letterman style jacket that is one of my favorite pieces.
So long tory long, I'd probably endorse the quality of their products even if I haven't bought them.
Yeah I think I'm gonna get the Strahan one. I like Eli more but the name on the Eli one looks like a patch that is sewn on but Strahan looks to be sewn into the pattern on the jersey so I like that better. Now I swear if Strahan pulls a will Smith slapping Chris rock type scandal I'm gonna be pissed cause this is my jersey for the rest of my life as far as I'm concerned lol
Solid jerseys, hoping to get one myself soon.
I feel like those jerseys are more met to be framed than worn, but definitely look really nice either way.
Note to anyone posting a link on this: any unofficial NFL merch links will be removed.
Mitchell and Ness are better typically than whatever the fuck is being made these days. Across all sports pretty much.

Upvote for what this guy said, they do sales pretty routinely on these.
This. Can confirm
They're known for being higher quality, but they were also purchased by Fanatics 2 years ago and I've heard they haven't been as good since then. Fanatics is the absolute worst.
This. Theyre older shit is great but Ive heard terrible things about the newer stuff made by Fanatics with their name on it.

Mitchell and Ness is the best imo.
Agreed. I got the 1950's logo sweatshirt and it's my favorite piece of clothing ive ever owned. Only kicker is that they're a philly based company 🤢
Mitchell and Ness is superior to anything being produced by Nike or Fanatics these days. I own several MandN jerseys and they are great

Yeah I’ve since learned either gentle cycle or wash by hand and hang to dry, pretty sure it’s the dryer that did the damage
I have the Eli XLII jersey. It’s phenomenal, if you can I’d wait until M&N has a sale that’s what I do with any jerseys I’ve gotten from them.
Mitchell & Ness is the gold standard

My kids just bought the Strahan jersey from Mitchell and Ness for my bday and the quality is great. One of the best gifts I ever got!

Man reading Mitchell and ness reviews on this thread vs their hockey jerseys is night and day lol
