CallawaySabres Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 After many months of searching on ebay, I am finally caving in to the purchase of a home throwback tonight. I believe the semi pro goes for about $155. Is this a pretty solid jersey? I am debating between the Lafontaine and Perrault - and #11 is the front runner. If you were going to drop this $$, what jersey would you get? I don't think the authentic would be worth it for more than $100 more do you? Thanks...

Seannie34 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I would go with Lafontaine. I dunno if youve seen this yet but check it out before you buy a jersey.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fushetti Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've only seen Patty play live.. I'm going #16. In fact, i'm buying one the night he gets raised to the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I went with the blue LaFontaine jersey earlier this year. I'd love to get a white Perreault to add to the collection at some point.  Speaking of throwback jerseys, I bought this one the other day: http://images.andale.com/f2/104/128/792646...hawerchuk_8.jpg  edit: The guy on ebay I got this from has both LaFontaine and Perreault jerseys for $129 plus $10 shipping. That might give you some idea on the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blugold43 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 are you guys kidding me? no disrespect to pat, but perreault is like the father of the friggin franchise! Â personally, i am holding off on a jersey till the new ones come out, but if i was going throwback, there is no way i would pick a player who played in buffalo any more recently than, say, danny gare.

BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I think no one should be allowed to buy a throwback of another player until they can produce proof they have Perreault already ;) Â Seriously, not everyone is as old as me and might not remember Bert much, so LaFontaine is a fine option if he wants to go that route .... it's not like he said he was buying a Jay Wells or Richard Hajdu jersey or something ...

BetweenThePipes00 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 that is of course the proper choice ... but if it says "Perrault" on the back of the jersey you buy tonight, i'd want a refund ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mphs mike Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 are you guys kidding me? no disrespect to pat, but perreault is like the father of the friggin franchise!

I remember the wheel coming up "no, that's an eleven" although I was young. The first Sabres game I had the privilege of atending in person was Bert breaking the rookie goal scoring record against the Blues. I cannot arguwe with him being called the "father of the franchise" but I would put either a 5, 6, 18, or 28 on a throwback. I recognize you can count the people who would consider a Dave Dryden jersey on one hand but, as you can tell from my avatar, he was my initial favorite Sabre as a 9 year old.

shrader Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Well, LaFontaine is the greatest american born hockey player of all time. At least he's got that going for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddkaz Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 why not get Hasek or Hawerchuk or Mogilny? Â Â Also you can't go wrong with Clint Malarchuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... i just picked up the replica at 155 of lafontaine and i must say its awsome. the logo's are really high quality... the jersey itself doesn't compare to my older 'pro player' (best jersey manufacturer so far) ones but its a typcial CCM material jersey... i got the blue one. i love it... and i had to pay almost 210 canadian but i don't care i love it... Â However i grew up with red and black so the blue and gold era is beyond me and i don't know much about it... but if you remeber the history and feel really passionate about that time of sabres hockey maybe the authentic is worth the money. but i love my replica.

CallawaySabres Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Picked up the XXL # 11 last night and it fits like a dream - so fired up!! Too bad that was one of the more boring games I have seen in a loooong time. Did not look like there was a whole lot of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Am I the only guy with an old style Mike Hartman jersey? I suggest for your next jersey going Jerry Korab or Kevin MacGuire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spinner0728 Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Mike Ramsey....best hip check in Sabres history....80 olympic gold medal...i'd go with #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Also you can't go wrong with Clint Malarchuk! Yeah, Malarchuck's a great idea. Just be sure once you buy it you take it home and spray ketchup all over the neck to get that "authentic" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
