When it comes to sports jerseys, fans prefer the classics.

                By                    Jami Farkas

The top-selling jerseys in the waning months of 2021 belong to the veterans. In fact, Fanatics reports that among the four major pro sports leagues – NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL – 13 of the bestselling jerseys from Sept. 1 through Nov. 1 belonged to players with at least nine years of experience. Three of the players are retired and already enshrined in their sport’s Hall of Fame.

The list of the five bestselling jerseys per sport includes several others who are sure-fire Hall of Fame selections, but until then, they have work to do on the field, court and ice as their teams pursue championships.
