Colin Kaepernick’s ‘I’m with Kap’ jerseys sell out in less than a day

Colin Kaepernick announced on Monday that the “#ImWithKap” jerseys he was selling on his website sold out within hours.

“Thank you to each and every one of you that have supported this journey,” the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback said on Instagram Monday night. “The Official Limited Edition #IMWITHKAP jersey released today instantly sold out!”

Kaepernick, who is best known now for sitting out the national anthem during games to protest social injustice, made the announcement just hours after he had announced he was releasing the jersey for pre-sale.

The former NFL star initially said on Twitter he would be donating twenty percent of the earnings from the jerseys to the Know Your Rights Camp, which is a free campaign for youth funded by Kaepernick intended to“raise awareness on self-empowerment and interacting with law enforcement.”

Former NFL star began selling the shirts a week after Nike announced Kaepernick would be the face of its latest ad campaign.

The ad prompted a whirlwind of criticism from conservatives, many of whom destroyed their Nike products and vowed to boycott the activewear brand.
