You can't measure my excitement for hockey season!!!
Dr. Fong Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Just got a call. The new jerseys are a go! Don't believe me, wait and see tonight. 465843[/snapback] Well whether you're right or not thanks for sharing the info. I sincerely hope that you are right about this.
shrader Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Just got a call. The new jerseys are a go! Don't believe me, wait and see tonight. 465843[/snapback] Here's another problem I have with this. If they want to make this a big surprise, why is some guy openly telling you about this?

If they want to make this a big surprise, why is some guy openly telling you about this? 465866[/snapback] Because I'm well connected my friend. And did I ever say that someone from the Sabres told me? Plenty of other groups of people know, NHL, NHLPA, jersey makers, etc. I knew this was coming, but not until today did I find out from someone that would definitely know.

(fyi-i hope you know that you will be in for one hell of a shitstorm from the board tomorrow if they are still wearing black and red tonite)

Luckily, we're only 9 hours away.

Why? Cause I'd have a hit list of all the people that told me this was going down tonight. Nevertheless, no need to worry. This is happening.
Tux of Borg Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Welcome to my world. 465298[/snapback] Don't you have something to go blow up.

Nevertheless, no need to worry. This is happening. 465886[/snapback] Lucky for you, most people still have no idea how they are going to see the game tonight except for the people going. Not to confirm or deny this, but the sabres website was down for a bit yesterday... could be nothing or routine maintenance, or could be a new design. However they did just redesign it a few months ago, so that would seem odd to me. Someone better post what they see on tv tonight as i will be only able to pick up the radio feed during the second period tonight. Go Sabres!
Ghost of BiB Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Don't you have something to go blow up. 465888[/snapback] Actually, that's the subject of the conversation going on behind me right now. Offensive operations in an interdiction scenario.

brihs2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Not to nit-pick, but even though the blue and gold would be awesome, it still loses something for me with red and black gloves, goalie pads, and all the equipment that can't be changed on a whim.
Dan Gross Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Just got a call. The new jerseys are a go! Don't believe me, wait and see tonight. 465843[/snapback] Tonight will only prove that they have the throwbacks available as at least a third jersey. Big whip. They did in the last season as well. It would be stupid for them not to provide something to remind people of an era where the players played for the love of the sport... Not that I doubt you, I'm just saying that tonight will "prove" nothing (unless they come out in the black uni's...)....

Not that I doubt you, I'm just saying that tonight will "prove" nothing (unless they come out in the black uni's...).... 465903[/snapback] Here's exactly what I was told today: "They did apply for the jersey change last season and will be in their new jerseys tonight." I don't think third jerseys is what I take out of this.
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Did you see Ty Law wearing this jersey?? 465252[/snapback] He was spotted in the Blue and Gold in the Buffalo Airport, carrying George Seifert's luggage.

I don't think third jerseys is what I take out of this. 465906[/snapback] I understand. I'm just saying that it's still only "your word" unless: a ) They announce "Welcome the Sabres in their new uniforms" at the game (or make another similar proclamation), b ) The league bans throwbacks for the opener, c ) They wear the unis more than the number of times a team is allowed to wear throwbacks. Option "A" is likely, so I look forward to hearing an "I told you so" when Golisano/Regier say something in the pre/post-game presser. It's just odd that they would not say anything before the game, especially if they thought it would put more fannies in the seats... The players skating out in those unis is not enough by itself to "prove" anything...that's all I said. Just being an ass...

When it comes to the Sabres, he is dead nuts on everytime. Thanks for the info Clutch.

The players skating out in those unis is not enough by itself to "prove" anything...that's all I said. Just being an ass... 465922[/snapback] So when the Sabres skate out in brand new jerseys, that's not enough to prove they are switching to new jerseys? You can bet your ass that I'm going to be shaking in my seat tonight when they come out because they probably will still have the current logo at centre ice and the players will wear the current jerseys at warm up as not to tip anyone off. If I'm wrong, then my god, I don't think I could ever return to TBD. But like I said before, too many people told me this was going down and I already had a strong gut feeling from what I personally know.
Dan Gross Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 So when the Sabres skate out in brand new jerseys, that's not enough to prove they are switching to new jerseys? 465929[/snapback] No, it isn't, just as it wasn't enough to prove it when they skated out in them two years ago. Just having the players wear those jerseys once does not delineate that those are the "official" jerseys versus the "throwback" jerseys. Again, that's all I'm saying...they'll likely say something after the game to confirm/deny if they do skate out in throwback style jerseys, but until then it could simply be players wearing throwbacks... Unless of course I'm missing something with respect to the NHL rules on throw-backs...
