Despite lackluster season, Raiders have 9th most jersey sales in NFL

Lids recently published the top 10 best-selling NFL jerseys by player and team for the 2014 NFL season. It’s no surprise that Peyton Manning top the list of best-selling player jerseys. The Broncos great is one of six quarterbacks in the top 10, joined by Colin Kaepernick (2^nd), Russell Wilson (3^rd), Johnny Manziel (4^th), Tom Brady (5^th), and Andrew Luck (8^th). Two wide receivers and two defensive players make up the remaining four players in the top 10. Dez Bryant leads all non-quarterbacks at 6^th, and fellow wide receiver Brandon Marshall rounds it out at 10^th. Defensive MVP front-runner J.J. Watt is the top-selling defensive player jersey at 7^th, and Richard Sherman is the other defensive star in the top 10 at 9^th.

The Seattle Seahawks are the only team with two players in the top 10, helping them top the list of best-selling teams, followed by the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos,  and Chicago Bears. As noted  article, the Raiders are ranked 9th in team jersey sales, a true testament to fan loyalty of the   NFL’s worst team. One reason for the Raiders’ struggles is a lack of a star player, which is   reflected in the top 25 player jersey sales, where not one Raiders player appears.
