6 Sabre sweaters in the top 7? Talk about a blind eye for fashion!
(Although, ugly only gets you so far. Anaheim’s uglies barely broke into the top 20.)

When your team is winning and you have to switch to a new jersey, there yah go.
The home jerseys look a lot better than the one you have pictured and what can I say we love our team.
Apparently not everyone shares your opinion.
They debuted new sweaters this season. So did Anaheim, of course, but who wears sweaters in southern California?
The Buffaslug, ugly as it is, shot them up the list as Buffalo fans are clearly more into team loyalty than fashionable threads (and more power to ‘em for that). Though I still can’t believe the owners chose this design — go back to the classic crossed sabres blue & gold!
You have to appreciate the passion of the Bflo fan (well, when the team is winning that is). Those jerseys could be rose and lavender and the Bflo fan would purchase and proudly wear it.
I’m going to let someone else hit this softball, gently tossed underhand toward the plate . . .
In my experience Buffalo fans are the most annoying at least in the forum sense but one can’t deny their fervor.
I would think the new jersey being release is likely why there are so many in the top 10.
This Sabres fan wouldn’t allow that on his dead corpse. Those things are ugly and you people that are buying them ruined our change to go back to the old style full-time.
I hope most of those sales are for the retro third jersey and not the slug.
Simply put, the bandwagon Buffaslug fans have to update their wardrobe.
You can only wear “Mogliny” “Hasek” and “Lafontaine” jerseys for so long.
Hey Caps Nut…It’s better then wearing Pivonka, Hunter or Gartner jerseys.

It’s not the jersey man, it’s the player (Name, Number)
Yes, but it still arrives with the front of the sweater intact.
