Saquon Barkley hasn’t even so much yet partaken in an NFL training camp practice. But the former Penn State running back already leads the league in one category.

There were more of Barkley’s New York Giants jerseys sold in the three-month span from March 1-May 31 than any other player in the league “by a wide margin,” according to data released Thursday by the NFL Players Association.

Barkey was the only rookie in the top 10 of jersey sales, and was the only non-quarterback in the top seven.

In terms of all licensed merchandise – including bobbleheads, youth apparel, socks, Fathead wall decals, pet products, collectibles, cake decorations and more – Barkley ranks fourth in sales over the spring months, trailing quarterbacks Nick Foles, Tom Brady and Carson Wentz.

The highest-rated Steelers player in merchandise sales from March through May was receiver Antonio Brown at 11 th . Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (29 th ) and receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (44 th ) were other Steelers in the top 50.

Seven of the top 50 represented the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, including quarterbacks Foles and Wentz.

New England Patriots quarterback Brady is the reigning league MVP – and also the most valuable likeness for niche items. Brady led all players in sales of officially-licensed youth jerseys, socks, headwear, per accessories, cornhole boards, Fathead wall decals and “Masterpiece” puzzles.

Brown was second in licensed sock sales and sixth in youth jersey sales.

At the Dick's in Robinson Township (suburban Pittsburgh), they are selling Nike PSU t-shirts that look like the blue game jersey with Barkley's name on the back. It's a nice and less expensive option to a game jersey. I hope that he's getting a cut from the sales.

I saw those, pretty cool. IMO Nike/PSU are missing out on a lot of revenue by not selling an authentic PSU Barkley jersey. Those would get bought up like hot cakes, especially since hey don’t sell jerseys for active players anymore

I actually heard on the radio this morning that it was Foles who sold the most. Maybe his is from Jan 1 to current though.

Even more amazing since Barkley's jersey was only available for 1 month during that time.

If they would make a Steelers NFL jersey with #26 and remove the name Bell and replace it with Barkley ... I'd buy one.

 

[LionJim]

Can anyone tell us what kind of $$$ SB gets from this, if anything?

I'd imagine Saquon being in the NY Market doesn't hurt. Wonder what team still has the most sales outside it's typical geographical area?

Cowboys or Raiders? Just a guess.

Schools can't do that. They can sell the #1 and the year number, #18 this year. That's it. But if you look around state college on football saturdays, you'll see tons of nike penn state saqoun jerseys. At least they haven't been hit with tariffs yet.

He gets a flat fee for the right to use his name, the money is pooled and distributed evenly per the CBA

That’s incorrect- Nike released a full collection of NFL player College jerseys just last year. https://www.lids.com/nike/style_ncaa-mens-player-game-jersey

 

[Obliviax]

On a side note, he hasn’t signed his contract yet.

So where is Barkley on that site?

 

[Lion8286]

I actually heard on the radio this morning that it was Foles who sold the most. Maybe his is from Jan 1 to current though.

Foles is tops in merchandise sales from March to May.

He isn’t there, that’s the point. I said “Nike/PSU are missing out on a lot of revenue by not selling an authentic PSU Barkley jersey.” You said that’s not allowed. I said it is and showed you how other pro players have college jerseys sold and Saquon does not.

Pitt fans better stock up on McCoy jerseys while they still can.

Re: Barkley, no upcomjng rookies are available yet.

Yeah, that list includes bobbleheads and other items. Barkley is the #1 jersey.

 

[#1PSU]

oh yeah

 

[dwiz]

oh yeah

All of this is available from dhgate. Barkley psu jersey is like $26. That's the one you see thousands of people wearing on gameday. They'll do 26 in steelers with barkley on it if you want for the same price. Hell, I've seen barkley browns jerseys in state college

What is dhgate, and what brand jersey do they sell? I’ve seen people in #26 Nike jerseys (no name on the back) on trips to Happy Valley, but I don’t know where they got them.

I’ve never used dhgate, but from what I’ve gather it’s an operation that sells cheap sports jerseys made illegally in China (made and sold without permission of Nike and team).

It’s a much more economical option, but quality and ethics are concerning. Also, I can’t speak for dhgate’s quality, but a lot of the China jerseys are total crap, and don’t look anything like they do in the online thumbnail.

Number one Jersey sales?

Number one sales in Jersey.....AND IN NY.....PA.....CT.....MD.....VA.....WV.....DE.....DC..... and in probably many other states, too!
