Peyton Manning
The 2012 Season has brought a lot of new looks to the NFL.
Players have changed teams. Nike has taken over as the new official uniform provider, producing all on-field apparel. And New Era is now the official on-field headwear supplier.
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning finds himself in new colors this year but his number 18 jersey finds itself in a familiar place on the list of the top 25 NFL player jerseys sold on NFLShop.com, Manning is No. 1.
From the period of April 1-June 30, Peyton Manning's No. 18 Broncos jersey was the top seller among all NFL players as quarterbacks occupied the top six positions, including two rookies.
Rookie quarterbacks Robert Griffin III (No. 2) of the Washington Redskins and Andrew Luck (No. 4) of the Indianapolis Colts cracked the top five after being selected in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Rounding out the top six were Tim Tebow (No.3) of the New York Jets, Eli Manning (No. 5) of the New York Giants and Aaron Rodgers (No. 6) of the Green Bay Packers.
Twelve of the top 25 best-selling NFL player jerseys belong to quarterbacks, including eight of the top nine.
