Nike takes back Mary Earps' soccer goalie jersey after being criticized.

Nike put out a copy of England goalie Mary Earps’ jersey on Monday after getting a lot of bad press for not selling the famous shirt from the Women’s World Cup final.

Earps wrote on Instagram on Monday that she didn’t know the shirts would be for sale and thanks her fans for their “incredible support.”

Also, Earps said that the shirts were sold out the day they came out. Nike wouldn’t say if the jersey sold out or how many were sold, but the shirts aren’t for sale on either Nike’s website or the England Football Association’s website right now.

Reuters was told by the company that “more will be for sale later this season.”

During this year’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Earps stood out as a star player and won FIFA’s Golden Glove award. Last month, she was named England Women’s Player of the Year.

Nike had to deal with criticism from fans and Earps herself when copies of the goalkeeper’s jersey were not made available during the competition. It finished on August 20 with Spain beating England.

It was asked by more than 170,000 people on Change.org that Nike sell shirts for Earps and other women goalkeepers.

Nike’s store is where you can buy the England men’s goalie shirt.

On August 24, Nike told Reuters that it had “secured limited quantities of goalkeeper jerseys for England, the U.S., France, and the Netherlands to be sold through the Federation websites over the coming days.” This meant that fans would be able to buy goalkeeper kits for the women’s teams.

It wasn’t said by the company why Earps’ shirt came out in October.

Thirteen of the 32 team shirts for the Women’s World Cup were made by Nike. It started selling England kits as an extra way to make money after the U.S. team, which it has supported since 1995, lost the game early, which meant a big loss of money-making opportunities.

Sponsorship of sports events is a big way for clothing companies to make sales. CEOs of Nike told investors last month that the company exceeded its sales goals and saw double-digit growth across all of its football products in the quarter that finished on August 31, which included the 2023 World Cup.
