There are many ways to find out if something was a success, but nothing says anything more than the almighty dollar. ESPN’s Darren Rovell is reporting the San Francisco 49ers sold $100,000 worth of their new throwback jerseys sold between Wednesday evening (when introduced) and Thursday. It’s safe to say the throwback jerseys are a hit.
Garoppolo led the charge with 63 percent of jerseys sold, but the followers may surprise you. Besides Richard Sherman, the other big sellers were Jerry Rice, Steve Young, and Deion Sanders, three people with the team in 1994.
Throwback jerseys are nothing new, but with the 49ers, and the year they represent (1994) it brings a lot more nostalgia than some of the more dated jerseys.
