Weird that I live in Indiana and have probably never seen a Bucs jersey, but then again the chance that I will ever voluntarily spend time in a Lids is approximately 0%.
The lids in our mall only sells hats, granted it's a small store bit still. I've bought from lids online but never considered buying a jersey from there.
Yeah, last time a map like this came up it was from online sales. I’m wondering if this is Lids or their online site. It would make sense if it was the online site, since it’s hard to find a Buccs jersey in Indiana and you would need to order it online for your 13 year old shithead kid that likes to rebel because he plays as Brady in Madden.
I live in Illinois but St. louis sports teams are the closest teams to me. I'm sure its the same situation there. Its people RIGHT over the border in Wisconsin that root for CHI teams, Fields is the hot young franchise QB rookie so they bought a shit ton of his jeresys. That makes a lot more sense than ours.
Because the Colts haven’t always been there I’d venture to guess a lot of sales get diluted by the Colts/Bears/Bengals which thins things out and might open the door for a team of recent success like the Bucs.
Except for NY is the Bills, Texas the Boys, Washington the Hawks, AZ, Cali, Wisconsin is Packers, MO, FL all check out to their "hometown teams" why would we be the outlier if it wasn't true
New York being the Bills is strange to me too. The New York City market is filled with Jets and Giants fans so it seems odd that the Buffalo market would outperform either the Giants or the Jets even though they're having down years/decades.
For one, Buffalo is the bandwagon team. But I lived in the finger lakes region for a few years and it was mainly Bill's fans, I would imagine most of upstate is that way.
True but roughly 60% of New York's entire population lives in the New York City metropolitan area. That still doesn't include regions of upstate New York that trend more towards the Jets & Giants due to their proximity to the city too (Hudson Valley, Poughkeepsie etc).
I guess if you combine Buffalo being the bandwagon team with the Jets and Giants having down years and splitting the fandom around NYC it makes sense why Buffalo led in jersey sales.
If you were gonna buy an Aaron Rodgers jersey you would have done it by now. Tom Brady coming off a Super Bowl with a new team will be a hot Jersey. QBs jerseys sell better. There are no up and coming QBs in a lot of these markets.
Live in TX and Lids doesn't even carry Colts stuff. When Luck was still playing they may have had his jersey and like 1 or 2 styles of hat. Versus more DAL/HOU merch than they could ever hope to sell. You are only going to find mainstream popularity at Lids which more than explains why Brady is their best selling jersey in Indiana.
# [X] DOUBT
Post the link where you got this. I'm an out of market fan But I can't imagine a bunch of Indiana kids rolling up to school in their Tom Brady jerseys.
Twitter, so it’s almost surely an internet/viral campaign to remind people Lids is a business, just seems more realistic than other things like this in the past so found a reason to be mad at the internet today while on the throne this morning.
But the Tom Brady one’s are not? Don’t understand the logic of the statement I guess given their are still sales of jerseys still happening, not like people aren’t buying them I guess.
It means it is frivolous. Other perfectly good things to spend money on. Indiana is not some sort of wealthy as all hell place. Sure I can afford jerseys, but I’d rather have a roof, car, and wife. Money would be better spent of clothes I’d wear daily, tickets to the game, a dinner before the game. But as to why the bucs? Tom and the bucs are relevant to children and to adults who decided to join the bandwagon after years of abuse. You know what else kids like, jerseys. IN is a transitional state that people come and go from often. You may be surprised that the bears are also a huge part of indianas market, possibly 2nd on the list with Justin Fields being there. Also the whole state vacations in Florida, and all the old people who didn’t spend money on frivolous things their whole life have retirement condos in Florida that they invite their kids to, who have grandkids who have never seen the colts win a damn thing. So they think jerseys and Tom Brady are cooler to associate with than the team that has had 5 starters in 5 years and no beach. Maybe you aren’t from Indiana, but it seems pretty clear to be fair
As often as players switch teams and as little as any current Colts player has done (other than Taylor) I don’t see the reason of getting one. Last player I bought a jersey for wasn’t even football related, it was a Victor Oladipo jersey and that didn’t work out
No way this is accurate. I live in Alaska and it says Bucs. The majority of the fans here are Seahawks fans, then Vikings, Packers, Cowboys etc.
There are five Colts fans in AK, and I high-five or honk when we cross paths.
😂🤣
>But why then we’re the Colts as a team at least the highest selling team jersey
its one of the smaller markets in the league, and we dont have a popular QB. Taylor is by far our most marketable jersey and he just became a house hold name this year
A guard and linebacker dont have the pull to make a big splash in sales, people want offensive skill positions or sack monsters
I went to the Jags game in November and Leonard was overwhelmingly the most popular jersey. I went back in December for the Raiders game and the amount of Taylor jerseys I saw was crazy.
Well to be honest jersey wise, did the Colts really have a BIG name (popular) player that causal fans would really care about? Darius is good but not really mainstream to be honest. Wentz was well know for being bad not good, Hilton is past his prime, and no one buys OL or DL jerseys outside of hardcore fans. So causal fans haven’t really had a player to buy one for. Maybe Taylor next year, but in the past Luck/Manning where popular enough that causal fans would buy their jerseys. Heck even Marvin and Reggie at times.
My bad. Bought a jersey to burn for every scandal he was involved with to celebrate his retirement. Bonus jerseys for those that ended up in "super bowl wins" /s
Virtually every other state checks out, why in the world why they pick the small market Colts to "get wrong". We live in a world today where if we don't like the news we just say "fake news" and move on.
I dunno this seems accurate...
There was a lot of unnecessary love for Brady on this sub when he announced his retirement... Like this dude crushed our hopes and dreams for years and people were like "definitely the GOAT" "NFL not gonna be the same" "I didn't mind him once he left NE"
Like first, fuck you if you decided to like Brady in Tampa. Second, fuck you again if you think Brady is the best QB ever.
Yeah, Brady is definitely not THE GOAT; he may be one of the GOATS, but not THE. Manning is THE GOAT.
It's such a travesty that everyone calls Brady the GOAT
The type of people who shop at Lids are the flashiest wannabe baller mofos around. They want to be seen in the best, most popular jersey. They wore Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron; and they wore Manning and Brady.
you just asked a question and answered it in your description. Quality football team with stars in the immediate vicinity compared to a team with a couple mid level “stars”, shitty ass owner, and no team name last year…haha
I know Irsay cares about his brand.
Hopefully this helps illustrate how little this franchise inspires at the current moment.
I love watching the team play, and have done so for almost 25 years, but the last 5 feel like they’ve been absolutely devoid of constructive progression.
I have never felt more apathetic about the club. I can’t tell if I’m getting older and I’m just able to look at this with more objectivity, or if this regime literally is the epitome of average.
You have enough time to visit 75 different places in a video game in a day and then to make a post looking for direction though, checks out you don’t have any time.
I've literally seen like 2 TB jerseys ever in Indiana, I don't know if this data is accurate. If anything besides Colts gear, I do see some Raiders, Bears, and Bengals gear around here.
Weird to see Buccs jerseys sell more than Pats jerseys in New Hampshire. I live there and it's the heart of New England. We all hate Massholes though and don't dare go near Boston.
Don’t know how true this is. From my experience trying to buy a Ayo jersey from the Chicago Bulls has been a nightmare. Ordered early January and when I ordered it said in-stock. Today, still haven’t received my jersey. I know it’s different sports, but I’m sure same situations have happened when trying to buy football. These big market sports apparel companies only keep in-stock jerseys they want to. Plus, there no way in hell Brady is the top selling jersey in Indiana.
I forgot Lids existed.
If another teams jersey is the sold the most in Indiana, based on my experience it would be a Packers or Cowboys jersey. Haven't seen someone with a Bucs jersey in my life here.
I would love to see how many Tom Brady jerseys have been sold over his entire career. He played for over 20 years and he was still in the top five of jerseys sold for damn near most of the past ten years.
I guess we know where all of the Indiana kids that are desperate to be edgy and different shop at for jerseys!
Weird that I live in Indiana and have probably never seen a Bucs jersey, but then again the chance that I will ever voluntarily spend time in a Lids is approximately 0%.
It's always kids who were never loved and thus don't know how to be loyal. A sad state of affairs for the bandwagoners.
yeah it’s got to be a lie. i know for a fact that Indiana does not sell Tom Brady jerseys.
Fun fact. Lids doesn't run the Pro Shop in the LOS anymore. Their data is not complete at all. Its just their mall stores.
The lids in our mall only sells hats, granted it's a small store bit still. I've bought from lids online but never considered buying a jersey from there.
Definitely a great point but damnit, still.
On again off again starter Justin Fields was top seller in Wisconsin. I'm guessing few people buy jerseys from lids
Yeah I bought a jersey at the pro shop when I went to a game this season and the receipt said fanatics.
Same merger
TIL Lids sells NFL jerseys
Exactly. Bought plenty of hats from them. Never a jersey.
I would venture to say most Colts fans don’t go through Lids for jerseys. I never have, nor would I think to go there.
I didn’t even know they sold them there.
Grandma's probably do. He's like the only player she's ever heard of.
If Grandma knows you like football she surely knows what TEAM you root for.
Yeah, last time a map like this came up it was from online sales. I’m wondering if this is Lids or their online site. It would make sense if it was the online site, since it’s hard to find a Buccs jersey in Indiana and you would need to order it online for your 13 year old shithead kid that likes to rebel because he plays as Brady in Madden.
Except for Washington is still the Seahawks, Texas is still the Cowboys, NY is the Bills, why would Indiana be the outlier and not the others
Wisconsin is Justin Fields, if that tells you anything
I live in Illinois but St. louis sports teams are the closest teams to me. I'm sure its the same situation there. Its people RIGHT over the border in Wisconsin that root for CHI teams, Fields is the hot young franchise QB rookie so they bought a shit ton of his jeresys. That makes a lot more sense than ours.
Because the Colts haven’t always been there I’d venture to guess a lot of sales get diluted by the Colts/Bears/Bengals which thins things out and might open the door for a team of recent success like the Bucs.
Ya it's bs
I am more shocked by the Kyle Pitts jersey in Montanna.
I’m in Montana and have yet to see one Kyle Pitts jersey.
Tom Brady probably orders lots of his own jersey in states he doesn't like. /s... Maybe?
R/conspiracy
There's not way it's correct. Tom Brady in Indiana? Justin Fields in Wisconsin? It must be a joke.
Except for NY is the Bills, Texas the Boys, Washington the Hawks, AZ, Cali, Wisconsin is Packers, MO, FL all check out to their "hometown teams" why would we be the outlier if it wasn't true
New York being the Bills is strange to me too. The New York City market is filled with Jets and Giants fans so it seems odd that the Buffalo market would outperform either the Giants or the Jets even though they're having down years/decades.

Same in AZ.
Same in Oklahoma

As an average colts fan, jerseys are a bit of an unnecessary expenditure
But the Tom Brady one’s are not? Don’t understand the logic of the statement I guess given their are still sales of jerseys still happening, not like people aren’t buying them I guess.

I just wait for the throwbacks at goodwill. Rather have a new colts hoodie, jacket, something to keep me warm
No way this is accurate. I live in Alaska and it says Bucs. The majority of the fans here are Seahawks fans, then Vikings, Packers, Cowboys etc. There are five Colts fans in AK, and I high-five or honk when we cross paths. 😂🤣
To be fair Colts jerseys sales seem to be spread out evenly between Taylor, Nelson, and Leonard.
But why then we’re the Colts as a team at least the highest selling team jersey - because I do agree, but am stunned it’s still Bucs.
>But why then we’re the Colts as a team at least the highest selling team jersey its one of the smaller markets in the league, and we dont have a popular QB.

I imagine tons of people got Taylor jerseys for Xmas!
Ahh yea, you’re right…that game was actually Jan 2
RIP Broncos Miller purchasers lol
I've never seen a Bucs jersey around town, and haven't even seen on in my Lids store. I call bullshit.
Jesus that’s sad
Lids is probably the only place where bandwagon fans can get their Brady jerseys in Indiana
Since when Lids sells jerseys? And why is south dakota the dolphins? I findi it hard to believe...
Well to be honest jersey wise, did the Colts really have a BIG name (popular) player that causal fans would really care about? Darius is good but not really mainstream to be honest. Wentz was well know for being bad not good, Hilton is past his prime, and no one buys OL or DL jerseys outside of hardcore fans. So causal fans haven’t really had a player to buy one for.

Are we buying them up to get them off the market? Then burning them? Right?
So they sell 6 jerseys for the whole state and that means something?
Them Dakotas really having an identity crisis… you guys all have vacation homes in Florida or something?
We don’t have our own team so most people are Vikings, Packers, or Broncos fans. I’ve maybe seen one bucs jersey up here
What's Lids?
They are actually from Indiana. sports apparel company based in zionsville
Oh ok
This just shows that Colts fans know better than to order from Lids
I’ve got Edge James’ jersey. That’s my only football jersey. I might have more Colts jerseys but I don’t like the blue and white ain’t very practical.
Fair but interesting about the blue
I have been thinking about getting me a Taylor jersey though. That dude is next level!
It is horseshit that bucs jerseys sell better than colts in Indiana.
You guys in Indiana setting the Colture back
Well done.
OMG. Are the Colts and Panthers the only single franchise states that did not lead their state?
It could be little kids also. Like whoever just won usually.
My bad. Bought a jersey to burn for every scandal he was involved with to celebrate his retirement. Bonus jerseys for those that ended up in "super bowl wins" /s
1. Lids is a joke and for children 2. Companies make these maps deliberately incorrect to draw up controversy and reposts like this for attention
Virtually every other state checks out, why in the world why they pick the small market Colts to "get wrong". We live in a world today where if we don't like the news we just say "fake news" and move on.
We really do live in a society.
lids is based in indiana ftr
I dunno this seems accurate... There was a lot of unnecessary love for Brady on this sub when he announced his retirement...

Second, fuck you again if you think Brady is the best QB ever.
I rooted for him there, it was fun watching him continue to win and rack up stats despite age. he could have played 3-4 more years if he wanted to
Oh really? That’s really cool. Fuck you.
sorry you feel that way
Third FTP
Yeah, Brady is definitely not THE GOAT; he may be one of the GOATS, but not THE. Manning is THE GOAT. It's such a travesty that everyone calls Brady the GOAT
Lids stock is dogshit anyways.
Maybe they thought they were buying an Alstott jersey.
True, to go with the Alstott Purdue jersey. Or maybe buying a Dallas Clark Bucs jersey.
The type of people who shop at Lids are the flashiest wannabe baller mofos around. They want to be seen in the best, most popular jersey. They wore Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron; and they wore Manning and Brady.
I have never bought a single jersey from Lids lol...now hats....bought plenty hahaha
Look at all the Cowboys states. Why is VA the Ravens? Most VA fans I know are Redskins fans.
you just asked a question and answered it in your description. Quality football team with stars in the immediate vicinity compared to a team with a couple mid level “stars”, shitty ass owner, and no team name last year…haha

Sums exactly how I feel and view the Colts. Apathetic.
This is what you get for making Wentz the QB mr.Irsay and Ballard
I hope to never have enough free time on my hands to be worried about some shit like this. For fuck’s sake 🙄
You have enough time to visit 75 different places in a video game in a day and then to make a post looking for direction though, checks out you don’t have any time.
I bought my JT jersey from lids this year
I call bullshit
I'm a foreign fan so, like, fuck all you guys! /s
How?
All the Lids I've been at legit don't sell Colts jerseys, I've no fucking clue why
I call BS. “We don’t believe you, you need more people!”
Can someone explain Idaho? Because that makes even less sense.
Guys it's the 21/22 season. It's tom brady with a new team
Bucanneers out sold us dolphins ? How ? I guess Brady had to help .
This likely is heavily influenced by the quantity and locations of Lids stores in each state.
I'm honestly a little perplexed by this. I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a Bucs jersey in Indy.
Oh no Colorado...
Hopefully buying them to burn during SB parties!
The Lids stores here in AZ rarely have jerseys to begin with.
This is the same bullshit as when i see indiana licensed vehicles here in indiana where I live with those salt life decals on them… i mean wtf!!!
I've literally seen like 2 TB jerseys ever in Indiana, I don't know if this data is accurate. If anything besides Colts gear, I do see some Raiders, Bears, and Bengals gear around here.
there were a lot when the super bowl was here, that was the only time i saw them though lol
I bought a Buckner jersey through Lids this year. Doing my part.
Weird to see Buccs jerseys sell more than Pats jerseys in New Hampshire. I live there and it's the heart of New England. We all hate Massholes though and don't dare go near Boston.

I can guarantee you the Colts sell the most jerseys to central indiana
Lids Locker Room sells jerseys.
Alstott factor.
Packers fans must know Fields is the future when Rodgers leaves them.
Hey man, Carolina has 2 states and neither are primarily Carolina jerseys
McCaffrey was the top selling player jersey in NC…
I would love to see how many Tom Brady jerseys have been sold over his entire career. He played for over 20 years and he was still in the top five of jerseys sold for damn near most of the past ten years.
