If you dress like Don Cherry, there's no reason for you to read any further. As clothing styles change and Sabres logos come and go, we've seen some of the best and worst when it comes to sports fashion. I would have to say that the zubaz trend was most definitely the worst. Then there was the Sabres slug - that ranked right up there with the zubas. Now that we've discarded the slug and zubaz are a not so distant memory, it's time to add some Sabres' style to the wardrobe.

Why not show your love for your favorite hockey team at work? Or at a wedding? Now you can do just that thanks to the latest accessory line launch from O'Connell's. Normally known for its over the top wide whale cords, the men's clothier also manages to stock some great Buffalo merchandise - most notably its lanyard belts featuring local landmarks.
O'Connell's newest release is a series of Sabres accessories made by Vineyard Vines. From belts to bags to ties, these fashionable finds should satisfy serious hockey fans who have been holding onto their dated polyester neckties for far too long. Maybe we'll even see Lindy sporting the bow tie somewhere down the road.
O'Connell's Clothing | 3240 Main Street | Buffalo, New York 14214 | 716.836.4140
Belts $49.50 | Bow Tie $55 | Bag $95 | Ties - from $49.50 to $85
Talk about a mom and pop shop that has stood the test of time. The first time I heard about this store was in the NYTimes. This store is definitely a destination shop that should attract the Canadians. Does the Galleria have a vineyard and vines store?
Not sure if I like this look or if any of their loyal customers would either, but it will do a great job to raise awareness about the shop.
