The arrival of Lionel Messi the MLS was felt at all levels. “Lio” not only helped Inter Miami win the first title in its history (Leagues Cup), but it also enabled it to break attendance records and TV viewership records. The sale of T-shirts has also improved its profitability, so much so that with less than three months in North American countries, “Lio” already occupies the first place in the ranking of the best-selling T-shirts, a relationship that also includes the Peruvian Raúl Ruidíaz.
As the MLS published on its official social media account, the Argentine’s “10” is the most requested jersey by fans in the Herons team this season (2023). For his part, the Seattle Sounders striker occupies seventh place in the statistics.
On the tournament website, the garment bearing the world champion’s number costs $179.99 for the black version with pink trim, while the all-pink version sells for $159.99. Ruidíaz’s, on the other hand, cost $119.99 (purple) and $114.99 (green).
