Varsity Jacket (Supreme exclusive)
About the original
Mitchell & Ness began as a Philadelphia sporting goods maker in 1904 and is the dominant producer of officially licensed throwback jerseys and team outerwear. The Supreme Fall/Winter 2021 collaboration put the Skittles brand across a Mitchell & Ness racing-style varsity, produced exclusively for Supreme and Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. It is cotton-polyester twill with quilted lining, a snap front, and appliqued graphics: a Skittles bag and pile of candies at the chest, "Taste the Rainbow" down one sleeve, a racing number on the other, and Supreme and Mitchell & Ness labels at the hem. It retailed for $368 in black and purple. The jacket is exclusive to the collaboration and has no standalone equivalent.
About Mitchell & Ness
Mitchell & Ness is an American sports apparel company founded in 1904 by Frank P. Mitchell and Charles M. Ness in Philadelphia, originally selling hand-strung tennis rackets and custom golf clubs made from imported Scottish wood. The company outfitted the Philadelphia Eagles' first NFL kits in 1933. Owner Peter Capolino pivoted the business to vintage reproductions in 1983, launching the Cooperstown Collection of MLB throwbacks in 1988 and the NBA Hardwood Classics line in 1999. Fanatics bought the company in 2022 alongside investors LeBron James, Jay-Z, and Kevin Hart. Supreme has collaborated with Mitchell & Ness on co-branded NBA-style basketball jerseys and warm-up sets.
