NFL paraphernalia associated with Michael Vick is disappearing fast. As evidence pours forth alleging Michael Vick is quite possibly the fifth most evil person to ever live,* both Nike and Reebok have ceased selling replicas of Vick’s jersey to the public.
Those of you who remember Vick’s last spot of trouble may recall that it became impossible to order customized Atlanta Falcons jerseys from the NFL store with the name “MEXICO” emblazoned across the back. Words like “DOG FIGHTER” and “PIT BULL” are now also banned from custom NFL jerseys. However, the name of Vick’s alleged dog fighting operation, “Bad Newz Kennels,” is still available.
Trading card manufacturer Upper Deck has even pulled Vick’s name and likeness from all of its memorabilia, including cards, helmets and jerseys, and card maker Donruss has followed suit. Come this NFL season, it will be as if… As if Vick never existed.
*Prevailing thought now holds that, if Vick is convicted of the charges against him, the pantheon of evil will include Hitler, Nero, Stalin, Mao and Michael Vick.
