mikeyarch Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 ... Not trying to sound like a jerk, but I just received (after week 5?!) my "2011 Season Ticket Benefits" package from the Bills. It contains the usual fridge magnet, window sticker, lapel pins, and media guide on CD. There was one item that I had never seen in this package before, and that was a little 16" x 32" rally flag". Great idea, I thought, and was even more jazzed when the lit contained in the kit suggested taking photos of this flag at historic or famous places throughout the world and then posting them on the Bills Facebook page. Hell, I got a meeting across the street from the Freedom Tower and WTC Memorial next week. Perfect, right? Imagine my horror when I took the rally flag out of it's wrapper and immediately see the giant "Wincraft Sports - Made in China - 100% Polyester" tag. I mean, honestly, polyester? What is this world coming to? Seriously, shame on the Bills and whoever makes these decisions for the team. They have my permission to charge me an extra dollar for my ticket package next year as long as they buy my rally flag from a company in or near Buffalo.

altleg Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 My serious issue is that I honestly do not know how the flag is supposed to be flown. There are two "clips" at each end. Are you supposed to push a stick in some manner through the clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you supposed to push a stick in some manner through the clips? I thought the exact same thing when i got my package today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffmonster Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I was surprised to get my pack today as well. Funny how it is dated August. I really thought the flag was cool, regardless how I have no idea how you properly fly the thing or that it its from China. I guess the old adage goes Ralph is cheap?

bklnpete Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 When you're in NYC grab a beer and fly the flag at Kelly's on Avenue A near Houston St. It's a true Bills/Sabres establishment and they'd love to see you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Really?!? This is your gripe? What is the country of origin of the other items? Check the label on your underwear - see where that is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike32282 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That isn't what bothered me. If anything, I was more annoyed by the fact that I received that package on October 11th. Talking about waiting until the last minute...3 home games are already done and we won't be able to bring the flag to those games. Nice job, One Bills Drive! And like others asked....how the hell am I supposed to fly it? Wheres the pole? Or even a stick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
