Guess not even the team shop had faith in our players  like the media, only the fans and the men in that locker room. 

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess (because I don't really know) that 

a) the Bengals aren't only keeping a small number of items in inventory because even in bad years they're still selling jerseys 
b) supply chain issues across the world are slowing down production and availability regardless of what the team may have had planned
c) teams probably hedge a little bit on jersey numbers for players because the way guys move around the league now it doesn't pay to stock up just to have someone traded, injured, cut, etc

I don't really think this is a case of the org not having confidence.  It's based I'm sure almost entirely on statistics with current-era wrinkles of supply chain thrown in on top.
