We’re well into football season and fans are digging in, discussing and debating their favorite players and predictions for their team’s performance this season. Will Tom Brady take his Patriots to the Superbowl again next year? Will rookie Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz continue his stellar performance to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to Philly?
According to the DICK’S Sporting Goods Jersey Report, fans think either of the above are very real possibilities. Five years ago, DICK’S launched the app to track NFL jersey sales and the results have been the source of endless game day speculation. Their Instagram and Facebook social media pages have been popping as well with even more great photos and updates.
The Jersey Report is updated daily to keep you current. Check out the position of your favorite offensive or defensive player over the past week, past 30 days, or throughout the current season. Brag (or cry about) your team’s overall ranking. While everyone has their opinions, jersey sales don’t lie. The Jersey Report is the best way to find out where the fans’ heads are at.
For those who aren’t yet shouting their team pride with a jersey or who have already worn theirs out, the Jersey Report provides a seamless way to shop your favorites on the DICK’S Sporting Goods website. Purchase one for yourself, buy one as a gift, or outfit your entire family. Each jersey you buy will help your team/player out in the overall rankings.

So what’s happening now? The Patriots have dominated the Jersey Report for most of the season, only recently getting knocked down to the number two slot by the Dallas Cowboys. As the top team in the AFC East, the Patriots’ jersey performance is hardly surprising. While the Carolina Panthers are currently rated number four in the NFC, they’ve also hovered at the top of the Jersey Report, garnering the number two team slot for the season.
As for individual players, it’s been particularly interesting to watch the jersey performance of Wentz this season. He’s is the only rookie to have his jersey featured in the top 30 and has spent this season garnering comparisons to a long list of past NFL superstars.
So far, Wentz’s jersey has garnered the largest percentage of sales at DICK’S all season. While the Eagles may not be getting as much love from other sources, fans have certainly cheered Wentz loudly via the Jersey Report.
Can jersey sales really predict team performance? What matters more—love for individual players or love for the overall team? Time will tell as the season plays out and the Jersey Report will be there to track it all. Check them out on Instagram and Facebook for realtime updates.
