Michael Sam Jerseys Are Already On Sale
Via the Huffington Post:
After waiting through almost the entire 2014 NFL draft to hear Michael Sam's name called, #SamFans -- and Rams fans -- didn't waste time in showing their support. There was reportedly an "avalanche" of orders for Sam's St. Louis Rams jersey after he became the first openly gay player ever selected in the NFL draft. As noted by Darren Rovell of ESPN, it took less than three hours from the Rams selecting Sam with the 249th pick in the seventh round of the 2014 draft for his jersey to be on sale. With his jersey number yet to be determined, the blue sample jersey viewable at NFLShop.com initially had No. 10 on the front and back as Sam was the Rams' tenth selection in the 2014 NFL draft.The jersey is $100. They won't be shipped until the NFL officially assigns Sam his number.
