NEW YORK: Nike released a replica jersey for England goalkeeper Mary Earps on Monday, after facing widespread criticism for not selling the popular Women’s World Cup finalist’s shirt.
Earps also said the jerseys had sold out on the same day they were released. Nike would not comment on whether the jersey sold out, or how many it sold, but the shirts do not currently appear for sale on its website or through the England Football Association’s website.Earps was one of the standout stars of the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this year, earning Fifa’s Golden Glove award. She was voted England Women’s Player of the Year last month.
