The logistics behind jersey sales are probably a little different than what most casual fans may expect.
Not every player has official jerseys produced and ready to be purchased in-store or online. Those are usually reserved for the team’s more popular players like quarterbacks, receivers, first-round picks and maybe the team’s best defender.
So when third-round defensive lineman Sam Hubbard’s family placed a bulk order of 164 custom Hubbard jerseys, it understandably made a pretty big wave.
“It’s unprecedented for us really for a player’s family to come and order that many jerseys all at once,” Bengals Pro Shop Merchandise Manager Monty Montague told Mike Dyer of WCPO.
