Expecting an NLL post today? Correct, however remember that the New England Black Wolves play at a casino and couldn't play till at least tonight for the first game of the division finals as indicated last week. The International League's Buffalo Bisons (the "Herd") happen to be owned by Bob (Jr.) and Mindy Rich of Rich Products, who also formerly owned the New York-Penn League's Jamestown Jammers (whose most recent logo was an anthropomorphic cluster of grapes holding a baseball bat), helps explain today's title as well as the below jersey color. As you will get to see on Wednesday, the numbers used on this uniform are the same of those of the other one to be discussed. The authenticity of this jersey is by the maker of that era in Bisons history, Jersey Express. This was towards the second half (circa 1998-2006) of the Cleveland Indians most recent Triple-A incarnation in Buffalo. In addition to the vested cut-off you'll be seeing, were several pre-promotional jerseys (something the Herd didn't do until the New York Mets replaced the Tribe as the parent club. There were white with black accompanied only by "Bisons" script, a solid black version of this mesh jersey with "Buffalo" script, and a plain red mesh jersey with a retro faux-back "bison in a baseball" uniform. The vests were white at home and the road grays you'll be soon viewing.
Of all the jerseys, this is the only one of which to feature the sliding buffalo from the primary logo, though further apart from the script and smaller. These make for great and breathable jerseys to wear not only to the ballpark, but for hot-but-windy days or cycling as well. It's the only team color uniform in the set, if you don't count black as a primary team color as it pertains to the Herd. Overall, a jersey that was a favorite alternate to wear, given how heavy the vests and white with sleeves were. I think the black mesh jersey was the best of all in this era, but there was a one game jersey in the Mets era that was blue pinstriped with "Buffalo" "rather than the normal "Bisons" in a Mets stylized font for one random afternoon game that they mentioned the new jersey in the Buffalo News earlier that week. But bygones are bygones, somewhere in storage at Coca-Cola Field in limited quantity as it was. Tomorrow we'll let you know how things unraveled and possibly in a week's time, how the west (and east) was won.
