Fans don’t have to wait till their latest star is plucked from the college
ranks to support them as Fanatics already has “TBD” 2021 NFL Draft
jerseys available to preorder for each team.
While most players won’t have number assignments for quite some time, some higher picks are
likely to announce their choices soon. Cincinnati Bengals No. 1 overall
pick Joe Burrow, for example, chose No. 9 even before the draft started
in 2020. Chase Young, the second-overall pick from OSU, announced he’d
be donning 99 in Washington about a week later.
Fanatics states that “this is a special event item. Orders containing this item will be
shipped separately. This item will be shipped 2-4 weeks after the
player’s number is officially confirmed by the NFL.”Oh, and it will just
so happen to create more revenue for the teams. That’s just a happy
little coincidence, I’m sure. On the heels of inking a massive new
bazillion-dollar deal with the networks that televise or stream their
immensely popular product, the NFL owners have in short order added a
17th game to the regular season (even more money) and then, without
skipping a beat, started entertaining a way to siphon more cash from
their fans’ pockets via jersey sales.
