It has been a joyous month for Colin Kaepernick since signing an endorsement deal with Nike. To add onto his success, the former NFL star debuted the release of “I’m With Kap” jerseys that’ll benefit the Know Your Rights Camp.
The 30-year-old athlete/humanitarian added that the entire profit from the sale will be allocated to the aforementioned organization. As of press time, the jerseys sold out within its first day of release, a feat Kaepernick celebrated on Instagram. “Thank you to each and every one of you that have supported this journey,” he wrote.

“They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated,” he said. “Their courage will move the world forward!”
