On April 25th, Fanatics declared that Caleb Williams had just created a new record on their platform, acknowledging the Bears fans to be the hypest fan base in the NFL, breaking Caitlin Clark’s record. Just like Williams, Caitlin Clark was also outrightly the top prospect coming into this year’s draft. She made it to the Indiana Fever after setting records at the NCAA with 3951 points, the highest among men and women.

Upon her arrival at the WNBA, she broke the record for merchandise sales previously held by Shedeur Sanders. Caleb Williams has broken the record set by Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever, WNBA. Unfortunately, Caitlin Clark’s record lasted for only 10 days, and now the record is back to football again, courtesy of Caleb Williams. Upon arrival, Williams acknowledged the Bears fan base for the warm welcome.

The Bears then announced that Caleb Williams would wear #18 as WR Keenan Allen, traded from the LA Chargers, would wear #13. Fanatics further reported that it has sold out jerseys of Williams except for the alternate orange version, that too in size 2XL. So what is the alternative for Caleb Williams fans?

Since the merchandise is sold out, fans have a few options left, one of them is to purchase an alternate merchandise from the Fanatics site. The site currently has 72 items featuring Caleb Williams. It includes jerseys, sweatshirts, T-shirts in various sizes, various signed items like footballs, framed photographs, and helmets. The apparel is available for men (starting at $35) and kids (starting at $30) and also includes jerseys from his college team, USC Trojans. As of April 26th, the Fanatics site displays that his signed helmet in orange & golden (priced at $950) is almost sold out.

The other option for fans is to go to other legitimate sites to buy the desired merchandise. Besides Fanatics, fans can go to Caleb Williams’ official site Calebwilliams13.com, NFL Shop, Chicago Bears Store, Etsy, or Amazon. But if you don’t find your desired products here, you just have to wait until Fanatics restocks.
