Favre Jets Jersey Sets Daily Record for NFLShop.com Sales
Online Record Established for Most NFL Single-Player Jerseys Sold in a Day
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Aug. 8 /EMWNews/ -- GSI Commerce
Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIC), the National Football League's partner in managing and
operating NFL Shop, which includes the league's e-commerce site located at
http://www.NFLShop.com and the NFL's official catalog, 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 player's
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 Favre's trade to the Jets on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
"Fans don't 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. "Orders remain very strong today (Friday) for Favre
merchandise."
