Aaron Rodgers Jerseys, Memorabilia Poised to Soar?

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 07, 2009 – The old joke used to be that if Brett Favre jerseys were outlawed in Wisconsin, most of the state would go naked.  Now, the mantle has been taken over by a new Packers quarterback.  With #4 now colored purple and white, Aaron Rodgers jerseys are the new fashion statement in Green Bay.

Rodgers is poised to begin his second season as Green Bay quarterback--one that begins with promise after an impressive 2008 season.  The Packers finished 6-10 but it was hardly Rodgers' fault.  He was among the NFL's top rated passers and showed toughness by playing in all 16 games despite a painful shoulder injury.  

ARod12 (http://www.arod12.com) is also ready for its second season as the home for Rodgers fans and collectors.  The website focuses on Rodgers jerseys and apparel as well as Rodgers' football cards and collectibles through its partnership with eBay.com.  ARod12 has seen traffic increase as the season approaches with fans across the country realizing Packers' general manager Ted Thompson made a wise choice by drafting Rodgers in the 2005 NFL draft and preparing him for long-term success.  

Last year, a few fans were still bitter about the team's split with Favre, but it's now clear that nearly all of Packer Nation has thrown its support behind the cool, good-natured Californian who seems poised to enjoy a long career in Green Bay.  The Packers' strong pre-season has fans anticipating a much better overall outcome than the 6-10 season of a year ago.  

Aaron Rodgers jerseys are now among the NFL's top 20 sellers and fans have home and road versions as well as a variety of sizes to choose from through Arod12's partnership with eBay.  The site also features links to Aaron Rodgers rookie cards and other memorabilia including the newly-released Sports Illustrated magazine that has Rodgers as one of its regional cover subjects.

Fans will enjoy articles about Aaron Rodgers on the site and links to the latest ARod news appearing in mainstream media outlets from Wisconsin and beyond.
