Sabres For Sale

31 Black Velvet Uniforms - Sizes from Small to XXLarge, and also 2 Talls.

Details: Custom made by Band Shoppe© in 2004, 31 black stretch velvet uniforms that have 1.5 seasons of indoor use. The choker is attached to the shoulder and closes with velcro. The pants are dance cut with a slight flare, and were hemmed by hand to avoid sewing machine feeder marks and are easy to let out. Very comfortable and machine-washable, these uniforms are in great shape! A few have small marks on the left knee from kneeling, but are not noticable. These uniforms are very elegant and simple, and would be easy to add more flash or color to if desired. Quantity of sizes available on request.

Cost: Per Uniform - $50. Set of 31 - $1400 ($45 each) Original price was $75 each.

Would also be willing to consider a negotiated price with the trade of uniforms/equipment.

2 Grey Tarps - Estimated size 60'x20' each.

Details: Both tarps are made from donated billboard ads. The back of each ad has been painted grey with flat latex paint that unfortunately can be scratched off. The tarps are in fair shape... the edges of one tarp had a few 8"x6" holes cut in them prior to their donation. There are not any holes or tears in the tarps outside of the edges. Although both tarps are nice and thick, one is a little thicker and heavier than the other. They could easily be joined together to make one 60x40 tarp, but we found transporting them easier in two pieces. These would be great for a guard just starting out that needs a floor!

Cost: FREE! Pickup only. Tarps are located in Orland Park, IL, 30 minutes Southwest of Chicago.

25 Black Sparkly Slinky Uniforms - Sizes from Small to XLarge

Details: Made by BodyWrappers©, 25 black slinky uniforms that have 2 seasons of outdoor use. The bodice has glitter on it, that has stayed nicely through two seasons and still looks great! The pants are dance cut with a slight flare, and were hemmed by hand to avoid sewing machine feeder marks and are easy to let out. Very comfortable but unfortunately not all uniforms are in perfect shape... a few legs have been stretched due to a performance in the rain. One also has a tear on a leg that has been repaired. We used black velco circles to attach flags behind the neck (see below for better description), but these can be removed. Quantity of sizes available on request.

Cost: Per Uniform - $20. Set of 25 - $450 ($18 each) Original price was $55 each.

Would also be willing to consider a negotiated price with the trade of uniforms/equipment.

24 Collapsable White Flags - Estimated size of silk 30"x48"

Details: Special poles and ribbon are included with each silk that when collapsed is 5" and expands to 27". Silks are curved-shaped white polysilk (made by Band Shoppe©), and have 1 season of outdoor use. A few flags have some minor grass stains on them. There are 2 white Velcro circles on these silks that were used to attach them to the Black Sparkle Slinky uniforms seen in the picture, but these could be removed. The above picture shows the flag extended. These flags have a very cool effect; the guard appears to be wearing a cape, then pulls the white ribbon attached to the end of the pole to extend it, making it a flag. The base of the pole was covered with black electrical tape to hide it, but could be covered with other tape to match different uniforms.

Cost: $12.00 per flag; Set of 24 $240.00 ($10 each); Set of 25 Black Slinky Uniforms and 24 Collapsable flag: $625.00 (Saving an additional $65!)
