Fans Desperate For Jeremy Lin Jerseys

New York Knicks Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere barely a week ago and jerseys/memorabilia featuring the new sensation have not been available anywhere, including the Knicks' own store at MSG. On Thursday morning, the Knicks’ online store started taking orders for $54.95 jerseys and $19.95 “Linsanity” T-shirts, but warned that they would not be shipped before Feb. 20.

In response to the crazy demand, Modell’s is pulling a batch of the jerseys off the production line early to sell them today—they’ll be on sale at the Modell’s stores on W. 42nd St., E. 42nd St. and Broadway at W. 34th St. According to MSG spokeswoman Stacey Escudero, as many as 200 of the jerseys will be offered for $54 in the stores inside the arena. She added that Garden officials hoped that some of the T-shirts would arrive before the 8 p.m. tipoff against the Lakers.
