MadDog2020 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 We are coming up on the 30th anniversary of The 334 Club, January 22, 1987. Do we have any NJDevs members that made it to the old barn that night? https://www.nhl.com/devils/fans/334-club Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I was not there, but one of my friends growing up had tickets and didn't go, he kept the tickets in a frame. Used to say he was a member of the 18,706 Club (capacity minus 334, although this was years later and I don't know if the capacity was the same back then, but it was still funny). Pretty cool club to be a member of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I don't understand why they are doing this, a bunch of idiots will be buying these saying they were at the game now... "Limited-edition 334 jackets will be released to commemorate the game. These will be available for purchase, exclusive to Devils Members, for $130. Get yours in the Member Lounge during the Devils vs. Montreal Canadiens game on Jan. 20. Only 90 jackets will be available. We expect them to sell quickly, so get there early on the 20th" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The whole 334 thing has more legs than it probably deserves...it's a cute little story, but not that big of a deal, and quite a few Devils fans aren't old enough to remember it or care much about it. MD2020 is right, the only people who should really have jackets are the ones who were there...seems like kind of a weird thing to wear if you weren't a part of it. I wish I had been there mostly because it sounded like a pretty insane game. 7-5? 12 goals in one game is a pretty rare occurrence in 2017.

We have had some pretty well known fans claim over the years they were part of the 334 club only to be found out later on that they weren't. These jackets might make that worse. Though on the other hand there is no special patch or anything that screams that the jacket is related to the 334 club. BTW the limited to 90 is bogus. The company that is making those put them up for sale this morning on their website for $150 a pop. When you buy one through them you also get a free pair of tickets to an upcoming game and that's why the $20 upcharge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Sooo...unless these jackets are limited to 1 per person, I bet 5-10 people scoop up all the jackets and they end up on ebay for like a $500-grand each tomorrow. This is idiotic that they are doing this. Find the people that were involved and give them the damn jackets. Don't try to sell these to current season ticket holders, most of which (would be buyers) never even attended the game. I could technically buy a jacket and I was, like, 2 when this game occurred. Stupid. Edited January 20, 2017 by Weekes Head 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bean counters saw an opportunity; heck, they probably just got the jackets made this week once they found out the 334 Club was a thing.

Stupid. It says its for members only and you have to go to the members only lounge to get these. Whether or not they actually check for the members cards is another story. That being said if you buy an ugly jacket for that much money you deserve to have to overspend on it anyway. I wouldn't even pay 34 bucks for one let alone 130. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a member, so I could easily do it myself. Of course, I have no interest in doing that (I'm not a money hungry jackass looking to make a quick buck) and I don't think these jackets are all that great (maybe because I'm not part of the club lol...)

I'm sure we will here about it if it's not lol I could get one but I don't think they will be worth anything and I wouldn't ever wear a white jacket lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely like wearing white jerseys! (They look nice on the players, yes, but it's just not my personal style). I am intrigued to hear about how this whole thing goes tonight though. I'm sure it'll be a sh!t show lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I agree the selling tactics on these jackets is pretty dumb, but the story itself is cool in a nostalgic kind of way. I was too young at the time to see this as well and until now had no idea this had happened. Pretty cool to hear, and just goes to show, despite being a die hard fan for 25 some years, you can still learn something about your favorite team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Looking on Packer's website, is it me or do NONE of those items even say anything about the 334 club on them? Isn't basically just an ugly white satin jacket that someone might have worn in the 80's? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INLOUWETRUST Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hey guys, I am a member of the 334 Club, I posted on this board on the twenty-fifth anniversary of that night telling my story. Back in 2007 the Devils had a twentieth anniversary day at Continental. I received two free tickets to the game, a really cool 334 club hat , and we were all brought downstairs after the game to private party thrown by the Devils. Lou spoke, Dano , Driver, Stan and a few others. It was a very nice day, simple, and very much appreciated. Two free tickets , some chicken tenders and double 00 Bauham getting us all chanting 334! 334! 334! You couldn't ask for anything better. Seeing the new ownership is pawning off these white 334 club jackets " to its members " for a bargain price of $130 just blows my stack, but get there early because they may not last long. Are you F#@cing kidding me ? I will be at the game on Tuesday night, I will be the one NOT wearing a white jacket . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ELIAS6 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 kind of curious to see what these look like, anyone have a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 From what it looks like these jackets don't even say anything about the 334 club. They should have just marketed them as a retro jacket and sold them when we wear the old jerseys on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
