Man Who Sold Fur Coat To Namath Says Business Booming Since Super Bow

This just makes me ill...... wish PETA would have been there to throw eggs at him for wearing that coat.....

According to the Internet, the flashy fur coat worn by Joe Namath during the botched coin toss was one of the biggest stars of Super Bowl XLVIII.

As CBS 2?s Alice Gainer reported, while “Broadway” Joe has been wearing his signature furs for decades, the one he sported Sunday at MetLife Stadium was a new purchase.
Mark Kaufman, owner of Mark Kaufman Furs in Midtown, said he sold the coat, a blend of coyote and fox furs, to Namath just days before the big game, and the attention the coat is receiving translated into a busy day for Kaufman on Monday.
“I just took an order from Dubai,” he noted.

Namath “came into the store, said he needed something to wear for the coin toss for Super Bowl,” Kaufman said. “And I said, ‘I think we have something perfect.’ He tried on a couple of pieces … tried a couple more.”
The other ones he tried on included dyed blue mink and red fox coats. Kaufman said rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs picked up the fox coat before the Super Bowl, even posting a photo to Instagram of him wearing it while standing next to a televised image of Namath.
For anyone who thinks that they can pull of the same look as Broadway Joe the coat will set you back about $3,000.
