Go to your favorite club's website and click on the "Shop" link. You can buy replicas of all the jerseys the team wears. Plus tees, caps and all the rest...and people buy the hell out of those things.

When the "game used" jerseys come on the market, you'll be able to buy the actual jerseys the team wore.

It's all advertising.
