β€œIt [is] fascinating to observe the price disparity between the most and least popular teams, when it comes to fan apparel,” a spokesperson for Oddspedia said. β€œAt a fundamental level, supply and demand is likely to have the greatest influence on how much fans can expect to pay for merchandise.”

The most expensive team merch is as follows:

  1. Philadelphia Eagles – $308.46
  2. Detroit Lions – $306.23
  3. San Francisco 49ers – $300.05

  5. Dallas Cowboys – $295.99

“Teams such as the Eagles are likely to experience a greater demand for merchandise, due to their large fan base and higher chance of winning their division,” the Oddspedia spokesperson said. β€œThis means items of clothing can retail at a higher price, and there is less need for heavy price discounts in order to shift stock.”
