Deion Sanders' 1990 Falcons jersey was the best-selling retro jersey in all of Georgia, according to one new map by retailer Mitchell & Ness (drawing on the company's 2014 sales data).
This shouldn't be a surprise: Sanders' debut in Atlanta opened with a touchdown off a 68-yard punt return. His rookie season, in 1989-90, also saw him lead all first-year defensive backs with five interceptions; and he became the first Falcons player to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, according to a tribute to him by the team when Sanders was inducted into its 2010 Ring of Honor.
He earned the nickname "Prime Time" during his four years with the team.
Sanders is also one of the few players on the Mitchell & Ness list to make appearances in multiple states, alongside Larry Bird, Joe Namath, Kobe Bryant and others. (Sanders is the jersey favorite for Hawaii and Oklahoma as well.)
