Ramius Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Are they still going to keep the current "throwbacks" ie the blues with the old style crest? I like the looks of those but the Buffalo script jersey should be the 3rd alternate, not the home.

I like the looks of those but the Buffalo script jersey should be the 3rd alternate, not the home. The script blue jersey is a one year thing for the 40th anniversary. That new white will join last year's 3rd jersey (the original logo) as the primary jerseys for the team. I guess it's possible that the script jersey sticks around longer, but the original plan that had been floating around the internet for a while now is the one year deal.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Let's just hope 40th year is the lucky charm... I don't care if they are wearin' pink and black tutus... Okay, well actually I really do care...
Heels20X6 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 As a jersey connoisseur, I have to say those 3rd jerseys with the "Buffalo" script look awful. The entire jersey just looks like a novelty Sabres sweatshirt that you pick up at Walmart made by Bulletin Athletics. Their classic logo jerseys - now that's the bees knees.
The Dean Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Didn't the Sabres change the Unis last year (or the year before) and a couple of years before that? Well, anything to be rid of the toupee wearing slug.
Wraith Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Didn't the Sabres change the Unis last year (or the year before) and a couple of years before that? Well, anything to be rid of the toupee wearing slug. No there primary home and away uniforms have been the same since the start of 06/07. In that time they've had two versions of the third jersey which were similar (both with the classic logo) but the first version was royal blue while the second was navy blue.
UConn James Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) From worst to first! Maybe the Bills could take a cue. Same situation --- unis that 75% of fans hate and a classic throwback that 90% love. Get 'er done, Russ! (I don't see anyone in their right minds actually buying that 3rd script jersey. That looks terrible.) Edited September 9, 2010 by UConn James

I knew I've read a few "new Sabre Jersey leaked" posts of the past few years. That explains it.

How can you have expert training in jerseys? IMO would have been a lot better...
Huuuge Bills Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Love that were going back to the classic unis. And I don't mind the script ones, but... Look at the script uni and tell me that the writing doesn't look like a dong. A big B that looks like balls, then the writing has an outline around it, slanting slightly downward.
Heels20X6 Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 How can you have expert training in jerseys? IMO would have been a lot better... By owning so many that they can fill in a closet? Like the poster above says...the script one does look like a dong...
Dante Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Looks good to me. Like Dean says, NO MORE SLUG!

Good call, it does look a bit like a dong. I didn't notice til you mentioned it, though. I think that script jersey is OK and might look good while it is on a person. It has a REALLY old school feel.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) That script is almost like the old Buffalo Bison "Pepsi cap" jerseys. http://i2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/716/998/61/5975_2.JPG PTR Edited September 9, 2010 by PromoTheRobot
The Dean Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Old time hockey??? Old time Hockey? Eddie Shack??? That script is almost like the old Buffalo Bison "Pepsi cap" jerseys. http://i2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/716/998/61/5975_2.JPG PTR That's what struck me, too.

An early look at the Sabres' new jerseys Eddie Shack??? Now if Eddie Shack's nose precedes the puck over the blue line, if the play considered off-sides? Great hi-lite film, but that song is almost as bad as listening to... Schony Sings Edited September 10, 2010 by The Senator
