Top Selling Women’s NFL Jerseys

Friday, January 28th, 2011

Here at FansEdge we consistently see many NFL jerseys go out our doors, which is why the recent article written about best selling NFL women’s jerseys came as no surprise. It is obvious that women know football and they are some of our best customers!

Leading the way in NFL Women’s Jersey sales here at FansEdge is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ strong safety Troy Polamalu. Besides his amazing skills on the playing field and the gladiator mentality he demonstrates while holding down one of the NFL’s most formidable defenses, Troy Polamalu is a likeable guy. From his flowing locks, easy going attitude and comical persona that comes across in many of his commercials (“You asked with your eyes”), it’s no wonder that Polamalu has a loyal following.

After Polamalu, quarterbacks are by far fan favorites among women’s NFL jersey sales. Aaron Rogers, the widely popular quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has catapulted to fame by leading the Packers to the Super Bowl, as millions nationwide have been exposed to his confidence and charm. There is no word on whether dating popular actresses has helped his jersey sales however.

Other women’s’ jerseys near the top of the sales chart this month include Tom Brady, Clay Matthews and Ben Roethlisberger, and many of these NFL superstars have seen a surge in popularity since reaching the Super Bowl.

Favre’s Streak Ends at 297

We all knew it had to end some time. The question was whether Brett Favre’s consecutive game streak would end at his (final) retirement, or if an illness or injury would slow him down. Today, we find out that The Streak will end at 297 consecutive games started. Brett Favre is on the Vikings inactive list for tonight’s game against the New York Giants. For the first time since September 27, 1992, an NFL game will start with Brett Favre on the sidelines.

The Streak is the second longest in the history of the NFL, and by far the longest of any QB in league history. Only Jeff Feagles had a longer streak of consecutive games started, which ended last year at an amazing 352 games. I must mention though, Jeff Feagles is a punter… 352 games is still 352 games, but with only one bar on his facemask, it is clear that punters aren’t in the NFL for their tackling ability. I still applaud the longevity and the effort.

Back to Brett though. His 297 consecutive games streak began with the Green Bay Packers, traveled to the New York Jets, and ended up with the Minnesota Vikings after a few more retirement announcements. He has gone on record to say that he will not play again next year. With a sprained shoulder and a team that is out of playoff contention, we may have all seen the last of Brett Favre in an NFL uniform. The Vikings, who started the season as a Super Bowl XLV contender, are now reduced to Tavaris Jackson as their starter, and will probably face considerable QB questions in the offseason. If this is the end, I will say thanks for the memories.
