Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 If they win the Cup they can wear garabage bags and pink skates for all I care. 801467[/snapback] I'd be satisfied to see that uniform Friday, rather than the Fighting Banana Slug.
SilverNRed Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 I agree, jersey good.... logo bad 801438[/snapback] Jersey terrible Logo unbelievably terrible. I actually think JPEra would have done better, CTM.
SilverNRed Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Long live the Rubble-hair slug! 801482[/snapback] *ahem* It's Buffalo Fighting Banana Slugs. Maybe that doesn't mean a lot to you, but I've been a fan my whole life and I insist that we get the name right. Slug 'Em!!
Taro T Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 *ahem* It's Buffalo Fighting Banana Slugs. Maybe that doesn't mean a lot to you, but I've been a fan my whole life and I insist that we get the name right. Slug 'Em!! 801489[/snapback] No, no, no. It is the abominable snot smear. And it was posted on TSR a month or so ago that the team petitioned the league to wear the "throwback" sweaters in the playoffs, so when the Sabres win it all this year, if they have the good taste to win it at home, the unis Perreault, Crozier (well if they had shoulder patches when he played), and Gare wore will be drenched in champagne flowing from a very large silver chalice.
Buftex Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 I think the road jerseys are worse than I could have imagined. Why the silver? Did TD consult the Sabres on this? Too many colors...we look like the friggin' Nashville Predators on the road, although, in all fairness, the Preds have a cool logo... This new logo is awful. Part of the problem with it is that it is too undefined, if you didn't know it was the Buffalo Sabres playing, you really wouldn't be able to distinguish what the fug that is supposed to be...it looks almost like a flash of light or something... The home uni's are a little better, only because the colors are remeniscent of the old classic uni's. The logo, however, is lost on the jerysey. Am I the only one who hates the small numbers on the front left chest of the new uniforms? I think these uniforms suck, and I was trying to take an open minded approach to them. I am sure it will change as the season goes on, but the opening game, against Carolina, early on, I was half wathcing early, and found it hard to watch the Sabres, my lazy attention was on the Hurricanes the whole first period. Don't they "test" these uniforms on tv, before they approve them. I seem to remember the Dallas Mavs, a few seasons back, playing one game, with an alternate uni, and scrapping them, because they looked terrible on tv. I know, that is Mark Cuban, but come on...these uniforms are really bad. Five seasons in, I still hate the Bills road uniforms, though the home unis' have grown on me. I forsee the same things with these Sabres uniforms.

Golden Wheels Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 It's pretty clear that Sabres management thought they could sell a buttload of new jerseys to children by putting a cartoon logo on the front. It wouldn't have been so bad if they put the B with the sword on the front instead of on the shoulders. The Buffa-slug could have gone on the shoulders instead.
Spun Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 If they win the Cup they can wear garabage bags and pink skates for all I care. 801467[/snapback] Or toques, leggings and bubble wrap! I have been waiting for a Stanley Cup for the Sabres since the 70-71 season, not an endorsement from Mr Blackwell... 5 and 0 looks good... As in scary!!!
