spndnchz Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 So if I wear my Slug Jersey I can get a new jersey for 41% off? At the Sabres store I would assume? Yup. Wear a jersey, get a jersey. Wear a hat, get a hat. Wear bikini undies, get bikini undies. Nothing for out of towners or online, just the store, just the 19th.

It's not like you wear a green hat with a slug on it you need to buy a green hat. Just not key chain for a jersey I would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabres1970 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Smart. I was hoping they'd do something like this to rid the arena of those ugly jerseys. Any slug they can replace is a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what will replace them? 12:47 BUFFALO SABRES: We sprayed them with "Slug Be Gone" and they disappeared. I believe to be replaced with traditional logo and First Niagara Center signage.
