(Sports Illustrated) — Tom Brady jersey sales have surged since the Wells Report was released last week, according to data from Fanatics.com.
Since the report was released on May 6, Brady’s No. 12 has been the NFL’s best-selling jersey, aside from draft picks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota.
On Monday, the NFL suspended Brady four games for his role in deflating footballs before the Patriots’ AFC Championship Game victory over the Indianapolis Colts, after investigator Ted Wells found it “more probable than not” that Brady was aware of the illicit activity.
Brady paraphernalia has spiked 100% since his suspension was announced Monday, according to a representative from Fanatics.com.
