How to Find American NFL Jersey Wholesalers?

Whether you own a sports memorabilia shop or need to order a batch of football jerseys for your team, the best option is to buy from a wholesaler. Wholesale items, including sports jerseys, arrive in bulk amounts and are intended for resale. If you know you will sell or use an NFL jersey of a certain style, your wholesaler becomes a reliable business partner over time. Starting the search for a supplier can be intimidating at first, but with a little research and perseverance, you'll be unboxing your first batch of jerseys in no time.

Instructions

    • 1

      Read football magazines and sports memorabilia catalogs. Memorabilia suppliers and jersey wholesalers usually take out advertising space in the backs of these magazines. Most suppliers include their location, contact information and a listing of the NFL team jerseys they stock.

    • 2

      Attend football merchandising trade shows. At these shows, jersey manufacturers and the wholesalers that stock them put their products on display to attract prospective buyers and generate buzz for new products. Representatives are happy to exchange contact information or negotiate pricing with you.

    • 3

      Talk to other merchants, or those who have experience with buying jerseys wholesale. Visit your favorite sports memorabilia store or contact a fellow coach who regularly buys wholesale equipment. These people may be able to put you in touch with a reliable wholesaler.

      Peruse your local phone and business listings. Flip to the "Sports" or "Sports Equipment" sections to see if there are any wholesalers in your vicinity. If you can work out a deal with a local supplier, you may save on shipping costs for your jerseys.

      Perform an online search. The Internet is a great resource if you're looking for an overseas wholesaler. These suppliers are often inexpensive, especially if you plan to order a high volume shipment of jerseys. Before placing an order, phone the supplier to ensure the jersey displayed online is the one that will be shipped.
