GSI Commerce Inc. reported more than 6,500 Brett Favre New York Jets jerseys were sold online at NFLShop.com on Aug. 7.
This achievement marks a single-day sales record for an NFL players jersey on NFLShop.com, breaking the previous record when nearly 900 Tony Romo jerseys were sold on November 11, 2007.
NFLShop.com went live with the Favre Jets jersey and other select Jets merchandise just after 6:00 AM on Thursday, less than five hours after the Green Bay Packers announced Favres trade to the Jets on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
“Fans dont want to wait when something like this happens and NFLShop.com was and is one of the few places where fans can go immediately to order their new Favre Jets jersey,” said Michael G. Rubin, chairman and CEO of GSI.
