… Georgia’s fanbase is making history. According to Sportico.com, the sales of Georgia’s championship gear on Fanatics currently sits as the all-time highest clip in the company’s history.

“In less than 24 hours, Fanatics sold more Georgia title merchandise than it did in the 30 days after Alabama won last year. That Alabama team was the company’s previous top-selling college football champion.”


Now, let's not pretend that there isn't pent-up demand for UGA gear in the wake of our first NC since 1980. That's one of the biggest no-brainers in college football.

What's interesting is that 2020 CFP championship stuff from the Tide's 6th NC in 13 seasons was the previous high water mark. While I firmly believe Georgia will win 2-3 more CFP trophies before we see 2030, none will ever feel like this one, so you’ve gotta enjoy it for what it is.

Lol. Look, great year for you guys. Enjoy it.

But Bama lost its top 2 wr’s in the post season play. That was the difference between game one and game 2.

Let’s not act like you guys went out and dominated everyone on both sides of the ball with a hard schedule.

I’ve ordered so much stuff.

And because all of you did too, I probably won’t get any of it until mid-February.

I might be in the minority here, but I've never bought championship gear. I've never liked the look of any of it. Would rather just buy regular team logo apparel

i ordered a couple shirts after lsu won in 2019. the quality for all the nike stuff was absolute shite. i have some nike stuff that's ten+ years old and still looks and feels good.

this stuff was trash after one wash.

Honest question (I know how we all like posts that start like that..)

Why do you care about how many tshirts Georgia sold?

What a weird thing to put so much mental energy into. That goes for all things college athletics.

It does just mean more. Was the same for State in baseball...

Broke the record in 24 hours

In the first 24 hours, MSU became Fanatics' best-selling College World Series champion ever, eclipsing the previous record-holding 2017 Florida Gators according to Saturday's D1.Ticker newsletter. Through Thursday, 2021 National Championship sales were already five-times more than 2017 and nine-times larger than the previous College World Series in 2019.

Those Victory Lane shirts suck though that's too bad for you guys. I had a really hard time finding AU stuff I liked after we won, all too gaudy.

I mean, 41 years of accumulated interest is nothing to sneeze at.

I don't think I bought any merch for an LSU title. I have a few newspapers is all.

Not surprised. At the game UGA fans outnumbered Bama fans and were way more energetic throughout it.

Just a thought, the 2020 gear might have sold at a higher clip because of the relative disconnect with fans due to Covid. Smaller capacity at stadiums... also fewer people spending money on tickets but still want their FB fix... buy gear after the ship? Didn't read the article, but just positing a thought.

One of my favorite things to buy is the pennents to hang on the wall. I wish I could find a 1958 one.
