September 6, 201610 yr Colin Kaepernick’s jersey sales soar amid national anthem protest controversy - The Washington Post Colin Kaepernick’s high-profile protests appear to have reinvigorated the market for his jersey. On Sunday, the backup quarterback’s No. 7 jersey was the best seller among current 49ers players in the team’s online store, jumping from the No. 6 spot, according to Marketwatch. Leaguewide, the jersey is now the third most popular in the NFL’s online store, jumping 17 places from where it ranked just over a week ago, ESPN reported. Only Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s jerseys outsold Kaepernick’s. Kaepernick, an active supporter of the #BlackLivesMatter movement, became a household name even among non-football fans late last month when he was spotted sitting while the national anthem played ahead of a preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

September 6, 201610 yr Author Is Kaeps Jersey going to become the unofficial uniform of BLM Protesters? I'll be anything that we start seeing his jersey at future BLM protest.
September 6, 201610 yr Author Too bad players don't get a direct cut of their own jersey sales...I think it all goes into one pot to be divided out.
September 6, 201610 yr I saw an update today stating his Jersey has moved to number one in sales. Looked it up as well. Saw one said now first on team but 7th in league. Other article had him as 5th in the league. NFLP is not giving the same info to every one. Back when I worked with them they would not release a lot of info on top sellers.

September 6, 201610 yr If so, the irony of it is A LOT of that money is going straight into the pockets of some rich, old white dudes... Does anyone know if the NFL releases info on the distribution of profit from jersey sales?
