But absolutely unique and an inside joke to WNYers, no matter where they may have fled.
And the price is definitely worth the design (plus we've *never* had one complaint about the shirts we sell...ever. They are excellent quality).
If you know of better current Buffalo t-shirt designs please post the link.
I love Michael Margulis' designs but ours are more contemporary.
(And come on, the McKinley design alone is worth the $22 bucks: look closely at the three levels of art incorporated into the print...we waited over 100 years to release it so as not to offend anyone).

Maybe Buffalo proper has a high crime rate but the suburb of Amherst is the safest city in NY. Also, you can't beat the safety of the towns just outside the suburbs. I've lived out here for 3 years now and still don't lock my doors at night, a habit I had in my home state. Also, when it's hot, kids will sleep in tents in their yards. Totally unheard of in any major city. And, it is only minutes to travel to Buffalo, should you have to to go to work, 45 minutes for me. But, I have a job out here, too!

Even that varies by the neighborhood or part of town.....

The worst thing about Buffalo is the job market. Id try to get a job before moving (though I know from experience that can be pretty hard). If you have a decent job the Buffalo area looks a lot different than the negative reputation it has.

Do they have jobs? If yes, what kind of jobs? The economy is pretty bad everywhere. Arizona has an unemployment rate of nearly 10%.

Yes they all found jobs, In Phoenix where $15/hr to start with paid medical insurance is the going rate and are plentiful. In Dallas & Austin
the jobs pay a little more $16/HR to 17/HR vs Buffalo where the same jobs pay $8.50/HR with no medical insurance are few and very hard to get. They all laugh when they hear the BS of Buffalo News and Media, where they say Buffalo jobs is better then the rest of country. nice try
