Happy RGIII on Cyber Monday
Cyber Monday is the 'largest' discount online retail day of the holiday season, compared with Black Friday for in store sales. Economic reports out yesterday indicated a 30% increase in Cyber Monday sales from a year earlier for some retailers.
According to Fanatics.com, Redskins QB Robert Griffin III was the top Jersey to be sold on Cyber Monday.
Fanatics.com, a top seller of officially licensed sports apparel, reported that Luck’s jersey ranked eighth among all professional athletes in cyber Monday sales—ahead of such stars as New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees and L.A. Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
Luck’s popularity grew steadily this season, with his jersey No. 6 in sales among all NFL players, league officials said.
A few interesting names were ahead of Luck on the Fanatics.com top 10 list for cyber Monday. No. 1 was Robert Griffin III’s Washington Redskins jersey and No. 2 was Peyton Manning’s No. 18 Denver Broncos jersey.
So, RGIII is ahead in our Rookie QB Tracking and in jersey sales. It pays to be No. 2 sometimes.
