Please choose your favorite Throwback football jerseys category from the above options. Throwback football jerseys have been the hot item since the late nineties when they began to appear in certain hip hop videos. Soon the craze was sweeping the country and Mitchell and Ness and its Heritage Collection became household terms. The National Football League has been fully cooperative with the manufacturers of these jerseys and has allowed teams to wear the retro look at various times throughout the season. Liscensing issues have prevented certain players from appearing on officially sanctioned gear, however knock-off replicas often claiming to be the genuine article have appeared on ebay with remarkable regularlity. Many shirts available on ebay are not being advertised correctly if they claim to be authentic Mitchell and Ness but at the same time sport the names and numbers of players that Mitchell and Ness does not produce - such as OJ Simpson.

Fox news once reported in October of 2004, that the company takes action to shut down up to 300 auctions a day on eBay that are using the Mitchell and Ness name illegally while selling counterfeit goods. They estimate that to date, they have closed down over 55,000 auctions.

According to industry sources, NFL and College throwback helmets are fast becoming a popular item as fans continue to look to the past for present trends. The helmets are seldom wearable however and come with stern warnings not to wear them in game situations. They are purely for dispaly purposes only and the manufacturer takes no responsibility for any harm that is done while wearing these display helmets for any reason other than what they were intended for. Ranging in price from $20 for the mini-helmets, all the way up to $200 and more for the full size versions, these collectors items cover the entire range of budgets.
