A comparison between the 2020 US Elections and the 2020 US Shirt Sales reveals that there is some correlation between the results. US star Pulisic is more polar in "Republic states", while Messi is more popular in "Democrats states".
There are also a few players whose kits are most popular in one state, respectively. Dele Alli is the Most Popular Player In the State of Vermont, Rashford in Kanada, Martial in Hawaii, Bruno Fernandes in North Dakota and Mane in Oregon. There also seems to be a Bonucci fan base in South Dakota, but the state just has 885,000 inhabitants so there might be just not much data.
