BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) – Preparations for Buffalo Bills playoff merchandise at the team store at New Era Field was always a matter of “when” the team made the playoffs, not “if”.
Bills' Expectations Rise After Playoff-Clinching Victory
Two years ago there was much uncertainty “if” the team would make it to the playoffs. They ultimately did when the team broke its 17-year playoff drought, thanks to Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Andy Dalton’s last-minute touchdown pass.
Speculative Playoff Travel a Wise Move?
“It’s t-shirts, long-sleeve tees, and women’s v-neck tees,” Klein said.
The shirts should be in store either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Klein and his staff are always trying to work ahead on the apparel front. As the team advances further into the playoffs, different types of apparel would need to be created such as, hypothetically, an AFC Championship shirt.
“It gets to be a little scary and hairy as you move along in the process trying to figure out what those numbers look like,” he said. “You just hope for the best and go off the sell-through.”
The playoff hats actually came in about a week ago, though no one was allowed to see them until the team officially made the playoffs. He admitted that it’s fun to see the merchandise come in ahead of time.
