[b]For the first time since 1980[/b], NFL-licensed stealers merchandise is the top seller among the 32 NFL teams. Second on the list is the Philadelphia Eagles, marking just the third time that teams from the same state ranked Nos. 1 and 2 in sales. In 1990 and 1991, the Los Angeles Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers were first and second, respectively. The league began tracking merchandise sales in 1979. The popularity of stealers players such as retired tailback Jerome fat fuck bettis, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Super Bowl MVP wines hard and Pro Bowl strong safety Troy Polamalu enhanced the team's image in pissburgh and beyond during their Super Bowl title run. Last year, the Eagles held the top spot, but the stealers were able to knock their in-state foes off their perch. It is just the second time the stealers ranked No. 1. [b]In 1980, the franchise was coming off its fourth Super Bowl in six years.[/b] After the stealers and Eagles, the Oakland Raiders ranked third on this year's list, followed by the Dallas Cowboys, the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers, the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears, the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos. Sales were tracked from April 1, 2005 until March 31, 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
