Popular Post rickshaw Posted October 9, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Alrighty folks, with the new season upon us, and this team seemingly about to become a perennial powerhouse (hopefully) I am dusting off my vintage, very rare Sabres jacket. I’ve never seen this anywhere before, it’s that rare. I was on vacation in ‘91 visiting my Nan in England and saw this in a North American sports store in a mall outside London. I was just 25 years old and couldn’t believe my eyes. England!!! I haven’t worn it for years but I think it’s time to start wearing it again. Hope you like it. Awesome detail, NHL buttons, Prince of Wales patch. I love it! 4 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome detail, NHL buttons, Prince of Wales patch. I love it! Don't know what Ted Black was thinking with the Turdburger. If he really wanted a lot of gold on 1 side and a lot of blue on the other, he could've had the designers work off this concept. Significantly different than the primary sweaters of the time and yet pretty sharp in its own unique way. Take the gold pocket edges off the front, put the SABRES from the back over the smallish logo on the front, put the numbers where the logo on the back is and put arm numbers under the 2 arm patches and you've got a winner. Can keep the button effect on the front without actual buttons there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) A jacket for the discerning Sabres fan negotiating his or her way through the Dudley-Muckler transition. I love it! Edited October 9, 2023 by Punch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i'm jealous I wish. I may not have gotten heavier but I gotta watch what I eat. Cholesterol is a biatch. I’ve aways been active and the most I’ve fluctuated in weight is 10 lbs either side. Both were not good changes. So I just gotta keep maintaining the best I can. But the days of eating what I want are long gone. It sucks.

Quint Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Anyone remember the Sabrejak? I had one a long time ago. We knew the owner of the company, Bojax. Now it's worth about $200. http://blog.buffalostories.com/the-golden-age-of-buffalos-great-retailers/ Edited October 9, 2023 by Quint 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed every kid playing organized hockey and most of their parents wore one back in the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Htf do the kids not want the old man's Sabrejak? It's not like it's a bowling shirt that obviously is Goodwill bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
