The one question I have was not answered in that article. If they are going to charge the players for unsold jerseys are the players getting a cut from the jerseys sold? Somehow I doubt it. Seems to me like the risk of making the jerseys (and profiting thereby) should be on Reebok or whoever makes the jersey in question.
