Some of these seem odd - and how does Kobe qualify for throwback when he's still in the league?

 

[Cjw_55106]

Numbers dont lie, but it seems this data is from just one company. Not enough of a sample size IMO.

 

[Keerock]

@ Kobe being a throwback already.

 

[Cjw_55106]

@ Kobe being a throwback already.

I think its because its his rookie #8.

@ Kobe being a throwback already.

I think its because its his rookie #8.

And by rookie you mean first 10 seasons?

He is? Have not seen him in a few years.

Sure.

Yea...Mitchell & Ness has limited rights and distribution.

For example, the largest throwback MLB jersey provider is Majestic...under their Cooperstown label.

So dumb. Bird in Mississippi? Bryant in MN? Please.

The southern Ryne Sandberg jersey threw me the most.

Gleason in Louisiana? I see a lot of Archie Manning and Deuce McCallister, but not a lot of Stevie G.

 

[Hov34]

Was that Dave Winfield? In Maine???

 

[elbowrm]

Namath > 56 in NJ? Not in a million years is that true.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Ozzie Smith in South Carolina?

That was my thought as well.

That one stood out to me the most. Id be shocked if many outside of San Diego or the Twin Cities bought that jersey. Honestly, Id be shocked if many in those places bought it either.

The bird jersey in Miss makes sense. All the racists would love a bird jersey.

 

[dgreen]

Deion taking three states with three different team jerseys.

 

[dickey moe]

The Alabama Ryne Sandberg obsession is bizarre.

 

[sho nuff]

Molitor in WV seems odd to me too.

 

[cheese]

Kobe in Ohio is strange

 

[Johnny Rock]

Schtick grassroots marketing? Hell, we're talking about it; although I don't see it translating to sales.

The Sandberg thing isn't surprising. With WGN afternoon games, there a ton of southern Cubs fans. In a state with no pro team, Sandberg makes a lot of sense.

 

[Raider Nation]

No Wockenfuss?

Not as much as Dale Murphy would.

Unitas in Indiana??? If we're not going to count Manning yet because he's still playing I'd think it's probably Reggie Miller.

[Shane Falco]

Big Steve Carlton fans in Neb? Odd......

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Ozzie Smith in South Carolina?

Yeah that's the one that stood out to me also. That and Connecticut loving the Raptors.

Raptors in NH as well

 

[shadyridr]

Cheeseheads are buying Favre jerseys these days? I know there are a lot of people that rock the old one they bought 10 years ago but who's going to buy one now?

Retired player rights are different than current player rights. You can acquire rights to produce jerseys of every current player with one deal with the PA. Retired players are done individually.

So M&N could have Sandberg rights, but no Dale Murphy rights.
