Controversy is good for business. Two weeks after protesting the national anthem, Colin Kaepernick now has the best-selling jersey in the NFL.
Yesterday, ESPN’s Rovell revealed that Kaepernick had sold more jerseys in the past week than he did in the last eight months.
Colin Kaepernick is now the 49ers best selling jersey. More of his gear sold in last week on the 49ers site than the past 8 months combined.

Also if you look at the top selling jerseys in the NFL shop, Kaepernick’s jersey now claims the top spot.
This is pretty amazing considering that three weeks ago Kaepernick’s jersey could be found in the bargain bin.
