Barcelona reign supreme but concerning sales for Manchester United and Real Madrid.
We told anyone who would listen that Chelsea had a great 2015/16 home kit.
The Blues have shot into third place in the most purchased jerseys list. Chelsea’s nifty adidas number sold 3,102,000 [give or take a few] in the past year.
That impressive figure is just behind Bayern Munich [3.3m] and Barcelona, who sold an insane 3,637,000 replica jerseys this season.
Manchester United and Real Madrid, respectively, round out the top five. United sold 2.9m of their home jersey while Real shifted 2.8m.
While Barcelona have been the top sellers for the past four seasons, both Real and United have held top spot in the past decade. The one trend is UP. Most of the top 10 have seen jersey sales improve.
Interestingly, Paris Saint Germain are in sixth place [2.1m] after a recent surge in interest. PSG certainly have a more global appeal after recent, high-profile signings.
Arsenal [2m] are next, followed by Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid [1.9m]. Juventus [1.6m] are next while AC Milan are just a shade under 1.3m for jersey sales.
Next season, we go again and there are plenty of great jerseys to choose from… including Liverpool’s.
Liverpool don't stray too far from the norm with their new simplistic home jersey https://t.co/S7gS1EeLJO
