This is a story about David Beckham and how his Herbalife jersey is selling, but instead of a picture of David Beckham shirtless or something like that, I offer you a picture of Beckham’s wife, Victoria, aka Posh Spice, because I’m a guy and it’s my blog.  Enjoy!

BrandWeek:

NEW YORK — There were 66,237 people at Giants
Stadium, East Rutherford, N.J., this past Saturday to see for
themselves whether the hype surrounding international soccer star David
Beckham was justified. They weren’t the only ones who came away happy.

 
Beckham plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major
League Soccer and merchandise sales are up 700% for the team and 300%
league-wide as a direct result of Beckham, according to MLS, New York.

 
The game in New York against the Red Bulls was the
first time he played a full 90 minutes, having been hampered by a bad
ankle since his arrival from England last month. At Giants Stadium,
signage was in full flight for such marketers as Sierra Mist,
Budweiser, Geico, Toyota, Hess, and Ritz “Soccer” Bitz. The game was on
Fox Soccer Channel, which showed Beckham onscreen so often it was as if
they had a “Beck-cam.”

 
Also in full flight was the Herbalife logo emblazoned
on the front of every Galaxy jersey, but mainly Beckham’s, the result
of a multimillion-dollar deal between the company and AEG, Los Angeles,
which owns the team. Galaxy shirts were selling briskly at the game at
$90 a pop, and there were more Beckham jerseys being worn by fans than
Red Bulls jerseys combined.
