The Buffalo Sabres are getting ready to celebrate Sabretooth's 37th birthday this weekend! Although it seems that Tooth has been around a lot longer than that, he is not the oldest mascot for a Buffalo sports team.

Remember the old mascot for the Buffalo Sabres? Before Sabretooth? Buffalo, NY has some of the most iconic mascots around and certainly some of the oldest too. Who is the oldest mascot in Buffalo? Would you have guessed Buster T. Bison?
