Sports store makes big play with jersey insurance

On the heels of the Philadelphia Eagles signing Tim Tebow coupled with the likelihood that former St. Louis Rams player Sam Bradford (who hasn’t completed a full NFL season since 2012) will start at quarterback for the Eagles, one sporting goods store is offering jersey insurance to customers.

Schuylkill Valley Sports, is now offering insurance to customers who purchase NFL jerseys at its 18 locations, according to media reports.

For $10, if a player is traded or released from the team within 18 months of purchase, customers will get to keep that player’s jersey and buy an additional jersey for half price, reports state.

With NFL jerseys costing around $100, customers may find the insurance to be a worthwhile investment. However, the deal doesn’t apply to jerseys of retired or injured players.
