With jail behind him, newly signed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is the top dog when it comes to best-selling NFL jerseys.
The convicted felon, released from prison in May after serving 18 months for his involvement in an illegal dog-fighting ring, had two of the top-selling NFL jerseys for the week ending Aug. 30.
Although Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre had the single top-selling jersey with 4,861 sold, Vick’s away and home jerseys were the second and third top-sellers. Combined, they totaled 6,140 shirts, eclipsing the sales of Favre jerseys, according to SportsOneSource, which tracks purchases for the sporting goods industry. Vick’s “alternate” black Eagles jersey sold 286 that week.
