Twenty years ago on March 19, 1995, Michael Jordan uttered two words that turned the basketball world upside down: “I’m back.” His legacy of three consecutive championship wins in ’91, ’92, and ’93 made him a bona fide legend in the NBA. However, soon after his father James Jordan had been murdered, MJ announces his retirement in October 1993. He tries his hand at baseball, a dream both him and his father had had, but after disappointing results and watching his Bulls struggle on court, Jordan announces his comeback in March 19, 1995. He leaves his iconic 23 jersey in favor of his brother Larry Jordan’s number 45.
Mitchell & Ness commemorates Jordan’s comeback after overcoming his personal hardships with the No. 45 Comeback Jersey. It will retail for $300 starting March 19, but for those in the know this iconic jersey will be more than worth the asking price.
