Team merchandise sales. Is this right?

[CliffBattles]

I copied and pasted this from an ESPN football message board. I guess in millions. But, it just doesn't seem right that the Steelers would be nearly double the number two team, or that the Skins would be so low.

By request. Here is all 32 teams merchandise sales from Jan 2000 thru May 2006 according to Huellars magazines.

Dan Snyder and co. just don't report all the revenue. You know...a little under the table here...and a little there. That's why we were able to pay the FA's so much money :doh:

HTTR!

Does this make since? The Texans are not the last team and they were not in the league in Jan. of 2000.

Yeah, they had their logo and were selling merchandise for part of 2000. They also have one of the larger markets.

That doesn't seem right, the steelers are one of the most popular teams but there almost double Dallas and there are 30+ Comboy's stores in Texas.

It may be NFL.com sales and since the Raiders, Skins, and Cowboy's have thier own stores that's why they are lower.

It is hard for me to believe that the Chargers would rank at 25, with L.T. on their team, his jersey must be one of the most popular in the league.

It's merchandise so I believe it factors in more than just jersies.

This might have something to do with it:

Just sayin'

I read an article earlier this year and it said that the Steelers blew away the record for merchandise sales in one year. They have a very similar nationwide fanbase to the Cowboys because the two teams were the media darlings in the 70s when football exploded into a great TV event.

And as for the Texans it does make sense that they wouldn't be last because all their fans had to buy stuff. Much like the Nationals' gear last year. I have a ton of Redskins stuff so I don't buy something every year.

Merchandise sales are a lot different than total revenue which is what the skins and cowboys excel in

I can't say that I am surprised that the steelers were there at the top. You go to any city in this country and they have steelers fans there. At any game you will see a guy with a steelers hat or jerseys or something. Good for them as far as I am concerned. Just as long as dallas isn't the #1. I would just hope that we would surpass them at some point. I just don't like being second fiddle to a low class organization.
