Buying Bills Big Business

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

"Let me put it to you this way, we've sold 50% of our Bills' paraphernalia this month." That telling statement came from the District Manager of Laux Sporting Goods, Mike O'Hara. He says Laux has tripled their sales over the past three days in comparison to last year's numbers, and he gives all credit to the Bills' tremendous turnaround.

"The return season usually brings in cranky customers looking to make a return or exchange, but this year the Bills are doing so well, everyone is all smiles." Tracy Jacim says, "Looks like you owe the Bills a 'Thank You' card." O'Hara says without hesitation, "I do."

The hottest item at Laux is the McGahee jersey. It's so hot, the store was forced to have 800 extra jerseys made. However, the Drew Bledsoe jersey is not faring so well. Large sizes have been slashed to an all time low price of
$29.99...half the price of all the others.

"Most people know he is not the future of the team. Why buy a jersey of someone who only has a year left, I'd rather buy from someone who has another ten years," says avid Bills fan James Maloney of Cheektowaga.

But Bills fans are fickle, football is a tough game. Fan after buying fan confessed they may not be standing in line with cash in one hand and a Bills item in the other if the team hadn't made a comeback. Translation: if the Bills beat the Steelers this Sunday, and either the Jets or the Broncos lose, the Bills are on their way to the Playoffs and who knows what else. For Laux District Manager Mike O'Hara that means, "All I can tell you, for example, is that when the Bills went to the Superbowl four years in a row, we couldn't get enough merchandise in the store, our numbers were phenomenal!"

The Bandwagon is overflowing, but that's a good thing.

saw.

[jamze132]

Out here in Tacoma, WA they have the Mcgahee and Evans jersey in the front window of 2 prominent shoe stores. A few months ago, I was looking for a Bills jersey and had to special order one. The guy laughed and asked why I would want a Bills jersey. He thought it would be funny to make me a free Norwood jersey.

The only thing they sell around here is :curse: Bledsoe jerseys. :rolleyes:

I see Bledsoe and occasionally Moulds jerseys around here. Ironically, they had McGahee when he first got drafted, but I haven't seen them recently now that he's actually contributing. Then again, I've been avoiding retail institutions because of the Christmas crowds, so maybe they are there, but I just haven't seen them yet.

Don't forget....you can still WIN a Moulds jersey for only $2 per raffle ticket.....

I am going to try and return my L Milloy this weekend and get a M. The Large is too damn big. You think they will let me at the proshop?

[Iehoshua]

I'm kind of tired of the replica jerseys, not sure if I like replithentic much. I'd like to get an authentic but it looms that the player could leave, traded, get hurt, then would I ever wear it again? Probably not...

I think there are like 3 players you would be safe with. TKO, London and Evans.

Yes, as long as u have the tags and havent worn it.

[Michael82]

then how did you get a McGahee jersey?
McGahee was a rookie in 2003. Not 2004. His jerseys were popular and available last year. I got the jersey at a going out of business sale in March or April.

Wonder if they'll be offering a free toaster with it just to unload the rest of them. :snicker:

Seen, Saw, Funny stuff, what is it about Buffalo schools that can't teach our kids how to use that word properly? It is amazing how many people use seen instead. I have lived all over the country and this is definitely a Buffalo thing.
