Philly Soul: Home of the Throwback Jersey

This morning I was inquiring about where to find a Ryan Howard jersey tee for my little brother's upcoming birthday, and in the course of the entire sports apparel morning banter with my colleagues, I discovered that if I take a left and walk about, oh, 50 feet outside of my office, I arrive at Mitchell & Ness (est. 1904), the original home of the entire throwback jersey craze.

And yes, it's a treasure trove of cool shit, a flossing hip-hop artist's wet dream. They didn't have my Ryan Howard jersey tee (I found one at City Sports, and yes, I bought one for myself to root root root for the home team this season), but they had this FUCKING AWESOME North Stars kelly green satin track jacket ($125) and the classic home and away Killebrew '65 replica jerseys like the one in the picture above ($250).

I'll be saving my pennies, boys and girls.
