Andrew Sharp said the other day that Michael Vick is the American Dream. Perhaps that’s even more true today when the news got out that Vick jersey sales are single-handidly saving the American economy and ushering in a new era of prosperity. At least, if you own a sporting goods store.
Everyone Wants To Dress Like Michael Vick Again
Sources tell CNBC that retailers in the Philadelphia area have placed big orders for Vick's jersey since he was named the starter by Eagles coach Andy Reid this week.
"Certainly after coach Reid declared him the starter and offered his vote of confidence, demand and sales escalated and we did bring in more (jerseys) to meet customer needs," said Jed Berger, senior vice president of marketing for Modell's Sporting Goods, which brought Eagles No. 7 jerseys into its stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey.
Not too shabby considering his jersey was basically black-listed and banned three years ago.
The ultimate sign that America has moved past the Vick scandal now that he’s proven he can throw touchdowns? You can buy a Michael Vick Eagles’ dog jersey.
