Most popular Vikings jerseys?

What's your guess as to which 5 Vikings players jerseys have sold the most ever? Put your list in order

I don't have the answers..I just bring it up because me and a buddy disagreed on who has sold more between Peterson and Favre.

Most ever?

Has to be Moss.

Carter and Smith would be close, but i'd agree Moss must have sold the most.

Moss definitely has to be #1. He hasn't been on the team in what 5, 6 years? And people are still wearing his jerseys.

Peterson is probably a very close #2.

People have to remember that wide-spread purchasing of jerseys has only really been around for the last 10 years or so. So players of that era would far outstrip anyone of previous eras (Cris Carter, Robert Smith, any of the Purple People Eaters, etc.)

I'd put a top-5 (based on observations at games) at:

1. Moss
2. AD
3. Jared Allen
4. Favre
5. Chad Greenway or Matt Birk

I'll say:

Moss
Peterson
Favre
Allen
Culpepper

Keeping in mind, Jersey sales never really got huge like they are now until 10-15 years ago.

That's because there many like me that never abandon a jersey until it falls off them. I wore a Randle #93 for many years then bought a Jimmy K #40 that I'm still wearing. :P

You got lucky with long-time Vikes. I had a Culpepepr Jersey, that didn't last too long. Moss jerseys, same deal. People who bought Koren Robinson, Troy Williamson, etc. won't be rockin that too long. Randle and Jimmy K are solid jerseys.

Yeah I've noticed that there are always lots of 69s in the Minny crowd too.

Girls in #69 jerseys are hot.
