LabattBlue Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 The store is still the old store. That web developer is having a rough couple of days. Click HERE for new gear....nothing but red & black?? :huh: :huh: :lol: http://shop.nhl.com/sabres/
slugspirit Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Wow... good to see that they used the summer to help prepare for the unveiling. Merch? Anyone?
pi2000 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 I thought the whole reason that the unvieling was put off until Sept was because they needed to stock the product. Now I see there is no place to buy any product online. Good job Quinn... nice job managing this. He should be fired for this, the Sabres are losing a lot of money by not being able to sell any new gear on NHL.com the day of the unveiling. THere is no excuse for this, they've had all summer to prepare.

TM8-PL16 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 my NHL.com catalog came in the mail today and there is little buffalo sabres merch in it... it has grayed out outlines and says Buffalo Sabres coming soon, everywhere. The only things it has a picture of for the Sabres are the one shirt and sweatshirt that just say Buffalo Sabres in regular boring blue font, no logos and all teams look the same. why not wait a day or two to send it out and actually have the NEW stuff in it? I think this is the NHL just as much as it is the Sabres. the NHL run the online "sabres store".
TM8-PL16 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 did anyone bother to watch the video on sabres.com about the uniform unvieling? I watched it... it lets you get a better look at the uniforms ... since the site totally sucks and doesn't have actual good photos like every other major sports team has ever had :rolleyes: they have footage of fans in attendance today buying the jerseys and saying how much they LOVE them... it's worth watching since like I said, you can't find photos of them anywhere... the AP apparently ignored this event, as did all other sports outlets... I just can't believe the difference between the Ducks new jersey debut and ours.... lame
elcrusho Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Do you guys think the Sabres are not going to make the 3rd Jersey? and just make us buy the Slug crap?

TM8-PL16 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 There are photos on the site from the unveiling. thanks for telling me, I forgot I had to actually put some effort into seeing what EVERY person would want to see easily and be on the front page of every other website
jad1 Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 thanks for telling me, I forgot I had to actually put some effort into seeing what EVERY person would want to see easily and be on the front page of every other website Yeah, it is a joke that we have to dig for this stuff.
elcrusho Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Now it's updated... WTF is the 3rd jersey!!!!
Columbus_Sabre_Fan Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Posted September 17, 2006 I'm sure the 3rd jersey will be there eventually. If ordered, I wonder how long it would take for a jersey to arrive.
elcrusho Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 nah Quinn wants us to buy the Slug....
frisky Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 I also noticed the lack of availability of not only the third jersey but anything with the original logo on it. So far I've only been able to dig up two hats with the original logo on it. Hope they start putting out more but I think they are trying to make us eat the slug.

LabattBlue Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Who is going to buy this crap... http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?prod...y_featitems_img http://shop.nhl.com/product/index.jsp?prod...dy_bestsell_img
Sabre Dance Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Who is going to buy this crap... Yikes......the Golden Sluggalos (Sluggaloes?) are already breeding. -Ed :blink:
Stoner Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 The Reebox Fire hat looks like a lightning bolt is hitting the slug. I love it! Escargot anyone?
elcrusho Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Put the Old Logo here and I would have bought it... LINK
Quickdraw Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah, I don't understand what message they are trying to send by writing "Old time hockey" on the sweater and then adding a NEW logo.
TM8-PL16 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 I would have bought at least 3 shirts, two sweat shirts, and two hats if they would have the old logo on them... not to mention a jersey or two I'm TOTALLY with Quickdraw on this riddle....
Taro T Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Oh my God. I went to the Sabres Store website just to see how little vintage stuff they had and noticed 2 things. In the "collectibles" section they have a 5" x 15" showing Sabres sweaters from the past and that one does NOT have the hideous slugs on it. I may have to get me that one. ;) The other thing I found on the jerseys site was something that's even more hideous than the snot smear. They have a pink sweater with a pink crest. It looks like a slightly different smear, but a smear nonetheless. Link I'm not sure if that is funny or just sad.
LabattBlue Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 To the slug haters, you would be proud of me. I just went in the Sabres store on my lunch hour and I refused to touch anything with the slug logo on it. I even gave a dirty look to someone who had slug merchandise in their hands(they had their back to me). B-) As was mentioned before, the t-shirts with "old time hockey" AND the slug logo together just don't work. PS No slug jerseys were anywhere to be found. You unveil this piece of crap and then you don't even have any to sell. :huh: Once again more proof that this whole jersey redesign was a major league cluster F***. PS I am going back to get a Buffalo Bisons tshirt with the bottle cap logo on it. VERY COOL!
