Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick reports that the “I’m With Kap” jerseys for sale on his personal website sold out only hours after their release in the wake of his latest Nike “Just Do It” ad campaign.
Nike, of course, has an entire line of Kaepernick products of its own, but Kaepernick also sells merchandise on his personal website. And in a message to visitors, the controversial former player thanked fans for the support, 12UP reported.
“Thank you to each and every one of you that have supported this journey. The Official Limited Edition #IMWITHKAP jersey released today instantly sold out,” Kaepernick wrote on his site. “ALL PROFITS will go to support @yourrightscamp! Sign up for our email newsletter at Kaepernick7.com and be the first to know what’s next!”
The player also announced in a separate message that 20 percent of sales will go to the Know Your Rights Camp for kids, a project that teaches inner city kids about how to interact with police.
The jerseys went for a whopping $174.99 a piece with youth-sized shirts going for $99.99.
