duey Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 http://www.wgr550.com/fullstory.php?id=1964 Sabres Sweaters Flying Off The Shelf Paul Hamilton - Tuesday, November 7, 2006 - 4:26 PM Buffalo, NY (WGR 550)- According to NHL.com, the new Sabres jerseys are a hot item. Buffalo merchandise is up 1170-percent from October of 2005. The top 10 selling sweaters in October were in order, Sidney Crosby-Pitt, Ryan Miller-Buff, Alexander Ovechkin- Wash, Maxim Afinogenov-Buff, Chris Drury-Buff, Jason Pominville-Buff, Evgeni Malkin-Pitt, Peter Forsberg- Phil, Daniel Briere-Buff and Jaromir Jagr-N.Y.R. I'm not caving though...not gonna do it. But...if they win the Cup wearing the slug, then sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Let's see how well the slug sells if they ever release the "throwback" third jersey for sale. That's the one I'll buy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Looks like the slug is here to stay Um, yeah! did you really think they would change it! It may not be the best logo, but it's going to be around for quite some time. so you don't have to like it, but you're going to have to deal with it. Go Sabres!!!!

Tortured Soul Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Little note in ESPN Mag says sales up 900% from last year. Still waiting to see one on the streets (or ice rinks) of New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I'm not surprised. JP-era could have designed the new Sabres logo and it would sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30dive Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I love the slug.....I have ordered my fitted blue hat with the slug and I'm looking for the slug license plate to put on the front of my truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they every start selling the throwbacks, they will easily outsell the Buffalo Fighting Banana Slug Longsleeve Football Jerseys the team has now.

The Sabres aren't an organization that can afford to throw around a few hundred thousand dollars every few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have to admit that it has grown on me. It is not as bad as some people go on and on about. It actually is pretty good (although I favor our original uniforms and logo) and it has the best record in Sabres' history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 If this team was 1-12-1, you wouldn't be able to give that flagellate covered piece of crap away. It's simply proof that some people will buy anything to be a part of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simply proof that some people will buy anything to be a part of success. 830233[/snapback] Right on. It has nothing to do with the look of that putrid logo ... it has to do with the fact that the Sabres are a winning team. I still cant stand that ugly logo. I would rather have had them use the Bills logo before putting that ugly thing on their jerseys and the ice. Go Sabres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
