Leagues Do Well On Black Friday

The sports leagues did pretty well on Black Friday. The NBAStore.com and the NBA Store in New York City had its best Black Friday sales ever.

The NBAStore.com and NBA Store had a combined sales increase of 38 percent as compared to last year. The best selling item was a Chris Paul jersey.

The NFL reports that sales on its NFLShop.com were also a record high for Black Friday and the site's third highest grossing day ever. The top four best selling items since Thanksgiving all involved New York: Favre jerseys were No. 1, a Giants hooded sweatshirt was No. 3, while Eli Manning jerseys were fourth.

In an interesting side note, the new quarterback for the Packers, Aaron Rodgers, placed 25th on the jersey sale list while Tony Romo of the Cowboys was second.
