If the "ears" are listening...COUGH..LOFFLERSD...COUGH......It seems anything that you can put out with the Bandits logo will and has been selling. Obviousley, we all would like to see more product, and I noticed that each year you put out different items-So how about next season- putting out a rack of the shorts? I bet they would sell just as fast. And I would be all for the DVD as well....

We have tossed around the idea of selling the shorts, however, the shorts are at a very high cost to us. So if we were to sell them in the store, they would be very expensive and that is something we do not want to do to our fans. We will try to work with Reebok to produce a short similar at a lower cost, but can not gurantee anything.

And it's hard to "fire" an individual when they design and produce a product that sells extremely well and was overwhelmingly popular with our fans.

Also, these game worn jerseys will be auctioned off at the end of the season to raise money for various charities through out Western NY. The more games we wear them, the better chance we have of making more money for special needs organizations.

that really SUCKS that i have to look at that jersey 3 more times this year. knocking on wood... if we make it deep into the playoffs.... can we put those jerseys away deep in the closet and not wear them for any deep playoff games that might be on national tv. because they look friggan rediculous.

as far as sales go, when your team is winning you could come out with anything, a pink camo third jersey would sell over 200 units this season. (dont do that, after coming out with this 3rd design i wouldnt put a pink camo past you) which is why the sabres slugg sold so many. if we sucked no one woulda bought that. plus a good portion of people just want whats new which im sure is why we came out w a new jersey in the first place.
dump these and come out with a REAL, respectable orange third jersey and youll see 400 sold before the game starts

sell the shorts. i know alot of people do wear jerseys more than shorts, i dono about any one else, but i feel like trash wearing a bills/sabres/bandits jersey out to a non sporting event. i would never wear one to a family event or a party or to class.(i go to ub) but know if i had a pair of those 3rd jersey shorts... i would wear them to the gym, around pretty much every where in the summer, the beach, the store, out to lunch... theyre just way more casual and everyone loves a good pair of gym shorts... id love a pair with the bandits logo on them

Considering how great the Bandits' color combo is, it's too bad that such a weak design was chosen. Whoever designed them should be fired. They obviously have no idea how to design athletic uniforms.

agreed 110% with you. ill take your design or mine any day over that slop. i said that to, its a shame with ou color combo that we get stuck with 2 of the worst jerseys out there

Both my kids have the 3rd jersey, and they like them. I seem to remember a lot of people hating the Sabres slug, hair piece etc when it came out, but was also the hottest selling jersey in the NHL for 2006-2007. ( yes, I know we were also the hottest team in the league that year, always helps).

I agree with Dr A, anything that helps to promote the team is a good thing for them. My wife and I both wear our Bandits jerseys to work on friday before the games, and we get co workers always asking about getting tickets. 1 co worker brought the family to Shenanigans for the Philly game, after asking about game for the weekend.

If you love the Bandits, wear the jersey (now 3 to choose from)and promote the team. With 500 more walking advertisements out there ( 200 jerseys, 300 t-shirts) it's working! ( try and buy a pair of tickets for the next game in a section other than the 300's)

Christ MILL i never knew you whined so much. It getting to the annoying point. We get it you dont like the ****ing jerseys. Just shut up about it. You have made 40 posts about hating them. Suck it up and deal with it. If ya dont wanna look at them dont go to the games.

I wore my bandits jersey to the mall on saturday and got a lot of questions about the bandits and actually ran into a couple season ticket holders. A lot of positive responses so it seems more people are realizing the Bandits are the best Buffalo team

Word up.

I'm taking 8 virgins to the April 10th game. Two 20+ goal conquests will turn a communities head.

And the 3rd isn't as bad as I thought, to stay on topic. I might get a tiny one for the Mini-Mecha if I can find 'em small enough.

Oh thread locker.....please lock this thread!

I got one on early saturday, wanted to avoid the zoo that it would be after the game. I'm getting it lettered for Vyse so I can't wait for that to be done. I was gonna get vyse on my first jersey, but I opted to go with a new player to the team because I couldn't really decide on who to get, and vyse wasn't a regular at the time. He has just played so well this year, and has really helped the team and seems will finally be a regular in the lineup.
