Sports and fashion have often been partners. The recent athleisure trend has linked the two closer than ever. Mitchell & Ness, the long-running jersey manufacturing company, has partnered with artist Hebru Brantley to create a capsule collection of fashionable jerseys. The pieces blend sports, fashion, and contemporary art to create an iconic clothing line.
Mitchell & Ness was founded in 1904 by Frank Mitchell and Charles Ness in Philadelphia, PA. The two created Mitchell & Ness Sporting Goods, specializing in creating uniforms for local teams. In 1933 they made their NFL debut, starting a 30-year-long partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mitchell & Ness also outfitted the Phillies baseball team and the Philadelphia Athletics. The company’s mission shifted in 1985 when Mitchell & Ness started repairing and refurbishing vintage jerseys. Today, the Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. offers authentic vintage jerseys and has done fashion collaborations with the MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA, and MLS.
Mitchell & Ness X Hebru Brand Studios: A Fusion of Sports Fashion & Artistic Heritage
The new capsule collection in partnership with Hebru Brand Studios encompasses a line of diverse pieces. The collection includes statement pieces like a satin jacket, shooting shirts, jerseys, and shorts. Prices range from $140 to $200. Brantley chose to focus on celebrating his hometown of Chicago, IL in the collection. Some of the pieces reference The Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper founded in 1905 and known as the most influential Black newspaper during the early to mid-20th century. The collection also features reimagined versions of basketball team logos from The Black Fives Era, which refers to the time period in which basketball was introduced to Black communities beginning in 1904. The inspirations for the collection give it a deeper meaning and connection to sport and art history.
Brantley, the collection’s creator, is a multi-disciplinary artist who works in several different mediums. He recently directed a short film called Erax, which premiered in 2022. His works tend to include a narrative and feature recognizable Chicago icons and history. Brantley himself is considered a hero in the city, constantly working to uplift the Chicago community and the city’s rich history. His style is heavily influenced by the South Side of Chicago’s AfriCOBRA movement of the 1960s and 70s. Brantley has been featured in The Chicago Tribune, Forbes, The New York Post, and on CNN. His works are collected by the likes of Lebron James, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Lenny Kravitz, and George Lucas.
With the capsule collection, Brantley is expanding his work in the fashion world. He is currently selling four pieces from the collection on the website for Hebru Brand Studios. In addition to the Mitchell & Ness pieces, Brantley also sells his own clothing merch on the site. You can also view his extensive list of exhibitions, ranging from 2011 to the present.
Blending the worlds of sports, fashion, and art seems like a daunting task, but Brantley knows how to work with unusual mediums and concepts. The capsule collection appeals to anyone interested in retro sports, Chicago, or just looking great. Hebru Brand Studios and Mitchell & Ness have created something timeless, meaningful, and fashionable with their capsule collection.

Hands down one of my most memorable times in hip hop, Dr. Dre’s debut solo album, “The Chronic,” is considered one of the most influential hip-hop albums of all time. It marked the beginning of a new era in the genre, introducing its distinctive G-funk sound and groundbreaking production techniques. The album showcases Dre’s skills as a producer, with his signature use of the Moog synthesizer and his ability to blend old-school funk with new-school rap. As a teenage girl I was mesmerized with the entire project and played the record nonstop.
“The Chronic” also served as a launching pad for future stars including Snoop Dogg and Warren G, and it cemented Dre’s status as one of the most influential producers in hip hop history. The album’s social commentary on the state of gang violence and police brutality in Los Angeles at the time also highlighted Dre’s commitment to using his music to address serious issues in his community. Last June, Rolling Stoneplaced The Chronic on its 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time List, noting the album “redefined the West Coast Hip Hop sound.”
For fans of this iconic album, the prints included in the Chronic Masters Collection are all 24” x 24″. The individual prints, photographed by Jeremy Deputat, are priced at $150 USD. Each one made with archival pigment on 290gsm Moab Entrada bright white fine art paper, featuring chop-marked, numbered, and hand-embossed Chronic leaf detailing.

Beyoncé has another Iyy Park collection loaded with Adidas, and this one is all-black and catching some eyes. Beyoncé fan page, BeyLegion, dropped off a preview of the forthcoming collection and has fans intrigued.
Kanye West is reportedly hard at work on his next album. Reports state that the music icon is in “a truly great headspace” and ten new songs were finished in the past week.
According to TMZ, Ye’s new work will be reminiscent of “old Kanye,” and there have been collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign. Recently, Ye’s “Jesus Is King 2” leaked online with Dr. Dre.
In another possible sign of a full Ye comeback, he receives words of support from Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden. In an interview, Gulden stated he doesn’t believe Kanye West is a bad person.
“And then as creative people he did some statements which wasn’t that good,” Gulden said. “And that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product. Very unfortunate because I don’t think he meant what he said and I don’t think he’s a bad person it just came across that way.
“That meant we lost that business. One of the most successful collabs in history — very said. But again, when you work with third parties that can happen. It’s part of the game.”

This past summer, Tee Morant, the father of Ja Morant, was speaking at the Up Next Elite Camp in New Orleans and was letting players know how their decisions would impact them. During the conversation, Morant revealed his son’s suspension resulted from his actions.
“Make sure anytime y’all anywhere, know the capabilities of everybody around you,” Tee Morant said. “My son didn’t get in trouble for the people around him, he got in trouble for his decisions so, always be mindful of every decision y’all make. Because, it could pretty much, take over you and can consume you and make you think that you’re who you’re not.”
Morant added, “The smallest thing you can do can make the biggest difference in your life.”
Recently, Ja Morant got some new ink. Hitting Instagram, @Ortega_Ink has displayed Morant’s new tattoo, a back-spanning piece that brings in his Nike logo, AAU team, jersey number, and logos associated with Kobe Bryant. One portion of his back is the number “24” with “Mentality” inked across the top.
Additional parts of the tattoo are the Memphis Grizzlies logo, his home state of South Carolina, and the words “Life’s a Gamble.”
