Michael Jordan's #45 Chicago Bulls Jersey by Mitchell & Ness

Mitchell & Ness commemorates Michael Jordan’s 1995 return to basketball with a limited edition Chicago Bulls number 45 jersey.

The $300 period-correct authentic jersey will release on March 19, 20 years to the day that Jordan played his first NBA game after an 18-month hiatus to play baseball for the Birmingham Barons.

“Michael Jordan’s return to the NBA on March 19, 1995 is a memorable and iconic moment in the history of the NBA.” Jonathan Yuska of Mitchell & Ness said via press release. “We are proud and honored to be able to commemorate this moment by recreating Jordan’s number 45 jersey. We hope fans of MJ and the NBA enjoy wearing it as much as we enjoyed bringing it back.”

The jersey is part of the Mitchell & Ness partnership with Michael Jordan and Jordan Brand to bring back iconic apparel in conjunction with Jordan’s career defining moments. The partnership began in Spring 2014 and continues through Holiday 2016.
