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."
