Despite a rough start to the year, Atlanta United FC striker Josef Martínez is the top-selling jersey in MLS for the 2021 season.
The league announced that the Venezuelan topped sales this year, featuring his atop the list of the 25 best-selling jerseys this season.
Martínez, the No. 3 selling jersey in 2020, remains one of the league's most popular stars even as Atlanta United have struggle to hold onto a playoff spot. The team are currently 7th in the Eastern Conference with 43 points, and has multiple jerseys in the top 25 best-selling for the fifth consecutive season.
The 2018 Landon Donovan Most Valuable Player has scored just 10 goals so far in 2021, compared to 27 and 31 in 2019 and 2018, his two most recent healthy seasons.
Martínez's jersey has been among the top five selling every season since joining Atlanta in 2017, but 2021 marks the first year for the striker to finish atop the list.
