Impressive that Kris Bryant is already the best selling player in 7 states.

Walter Peyton makes perfect sense, but I am surprised that Jordan isn't #1 anywhere.

Namath? WTH is the overriding connection between Broadway Joe and Iowa? He hasn't played in 40 years. We sit in the middle of a lot of pro cities, but, you think someone more Midwest orientated would be the leader. If it's generational you'd think Fran Tarkenton would still be popular in Iowa.

Let's be honest, they probably sold only a handful of jerseys in the state of Iowa. Someone probably bought 2 Namath jerseys.

Broadway Joe became the hero of many an Iowa farmer after the Suzy Kolber incident.

Not only was Suzy hot, but she did not exactly say "No." She appeared to actually enjoy being hit on by a sports icon of Namath's stature.

Additionally Joe was sporting a stunning white fur coat ... exactly like the one we all hope to own one day.

And ... appealing to the frugality of the Midwestern mind, he was still wearing it after buying it 30-40 years ago.

So is Arkansas Bo Jackson or Albert Belle? Belle was born in Louisiana so I assume that is who it is.

I am fairly surprised Sandberg is tops in Alabama

Pretty sure this is for throwback jerseys not just player. Still Namath in Iowa doesn't make a lot of sense.

Unitas over Bird in Indiana. WTF?


IU fans still mad that he transferred to ISU??

I know at least ten people with Namath jerserys here in Davenport.

I thought the NFL was not allowing Pat Tillman jerseys to be sold.

Don't we have a poster who owns a sporting goods store in downtown Iowa City? ...or a book store that sells jersey, sweatshirts and etc.?

Maybe someone could contact him and find out what's up with this stuff.
