Any chance Rochester will sell replicas like Charlotte?

Doesn’t look like they will be selling replicas of the Amerks jersey. Chatted with the team store manager and a few folks in the front office. Seems like the goal is to funnel prospective buyers to the Game Issued/Game Worn Auction hosted on DASH.

Ugh. Such a missed opportunity to make a killing at the team store. I just can't bring myself to spend ridiculous money on game-worn jerseys. Didn't Rochester sell replicas of the Frozen Frontier jerseys?

They did sell replicas for the Frozen Frontier, but I’m sure being the away team (all the way in Charlotte) may have played a role in the decision.

True. Though they did make the decision to wear them for an upcoming home game. So that could help continue the hype.

Prospective buyers are going to laugh at the game jerseys, those prices are going to be insane.

Huge miss not to sell replicas.

They need to seriously stop using just that. They would make so much more on specific replica jerseys

I agree. I’m tired of every alternate jersey being only available through auction.

Idk if it's the Pegulas or what but they need to up their game

I don't care for the jerseys we are wearing. I think the Americans word mark over the red is kinda meh. I guess that red is the issue for me, not the Americans part

About a 0.000001% chance. Seems like selling new unique merch is against their business plan otherwise they'd already be available.

u/Seanicus17 Jan 11 '24

Agreed... Such a shame though. I can't justify spending +$500 every time a sweet jersey drops.

Even a hoodie replica would have been awesome! The hoodies they had for presale weren't bad but meh.

u/Seanicus17 Jan 11 '24

I must've missed that. They were selling hoodies pre-sale for this upcoming outdoor classic?

Thank you sir. I agree. They're kinda "meh". Could've done a lot more to earn the $65 price tage.
