3rd and One Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I don't know about you guys but when I buy a jersey, I like to know I'm going to get a few solid years out of the player. I didn't hop on the Owens bandwagon when he signed with Buffalo because I knew he wasn't going to be here long. Such the case with a guy like Gerbe. You take the chance on a player like him who is starting to produce, but questionable if he'll be around in a year or two? I really like him as a player, but he is one of those guys that may be expendable. I've had a Goose jersey for a long time, and want to be able to enjoy the jersey for a few years. You think Gerbe is worth it? Sounds funny but buying a jersey is sorta like an investment here lol

Sounds funny but buying a jersey is sorta like an investment here lol Gerbe has been great, but if I was buying a Sabres jersey (which I never have) right now, I would lean toward Vanek or Sekera. I love the way both of these guys play.
HopsGuy Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Maybe for a child. The only Bills jerseys I have are Bobby Chandler (#81, home blue) & Bob Kalsu (#61, road white - throwback). Those guys have shuffled off this mortal coil so I'm safe from trades or off-the-field transgressions. That said, I got a sweet Chinese knockoff of a Tyler Myers jersey. That's a risk, but the price was pretty low ($53 incl shipping). If I was going pay up and get a custom Sabres I'd probably get a #2 Tim Horton, #32 Rob Ray, or #22 Lindy Ruff (White, current/old-school, of course). Hockey player tend to be good guys, so less risk of off-the-ice incidents. Then again, I'm probably too old to be wearing jerseys.

DonInBuffalo Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 A few weeks ago while watching a Sabres game on TV I noticed someone in the crowd wearing a Gerbe jersey. It was a woman who weighed AT LEAST 200 pounds. Couldn't help but laugh.
Nanker Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Gerbe. Isn't that the paunchy little tummy that a women gets in the first trimester of a pregnancy?
