stevestojan Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 The creator sent out a group email, and he wants people to vote on their 2 favorites and he will start producing them. http://newblueandgold.celsiusdesign.net/polls/ I voted for Classic Away
ieatcrayonz Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Isnt this some violation of NHL coyright laws? 857621[/snapback] Define "some".
apuszczalowski Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 The team never payed him for his designs or work on the designs (I don't think) so it is all legal, aslong as there is no "Sabres" or "Buffalo" on it and theres no RBK, CCM, or NHL logo on them. He will also have to use a different shade of Blue and Gold, and different jersey design (strip layout) and different font to stay safe from any attempts of legal action The guy who created them is on the Sabres report site and has a post about it. Apparently your not a true fan if you don't want his jersey over the official ones they wear. He also believes he will be able to et them made and sold for $75 a piece because no names or numbers will be used on them

apuszczalowski Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 As I said before, I like the official uniforms better. 857765[/snapback] So do I, so I guess we are not true fans, since his slogan (or whatever he calls it) is TRUE FANS GET IT
stevestojan Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 You guys honestly like the SLUG better than these? Holy Hell... the marketing genius of the Sabres organization actually WORKED!
CoachChuckDickerson Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Do you think he can put a slug on the classic away jersey for me?
HopsGuy Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Nice design, but gee whiz. Could the guy be more off-putting? You know, art would be so much better if we didn't have to deal with the artists.
bills_fan Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Nice design, but gee whiz. Could the guy be more off-putting? You know, art would be so much better if we didn't have to deal with the artists. Which is prob why Sluggo happened in the first place. I think this guy did some work on the new unis, pissed off the Sabres, he left with the designs (which were technically his). The Sabres couldn't use this design or any concept of it without paying this guy and hence Sluggo was born. Anyone "in the know" think I'm close here? Basically I hate the Sluggo logo design, new jerseys aren't awful. If they had a REAL logo with that jersey, I could have lived with it. As such, neither the Sabres nor this wacko will be getting my cash.

No. 1 selling merchandise in the NHL. What really cracks me up about threads concerning the Bills' and Sabres' uniforms is the source of the complaints. I've seen the fashion sense of Buffalonians, and it ain't pretty. Very ironical.
USMCBillsFan Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Speaking of jerseys. I went to the Sabres store to look for a jersey for my son. He actually likes the new ones but there were absolutely no jerseys available at all. WTF?? Were they that underproduced??

No slug. I will not buy the slug.

I've seen the fashion sense of Buffalonians, and it ain't pretty. Very ironical. Of course it is, best team in hockey, plays exciting, new jersey etc. My point is that the thousands of folks who signed the net petition (not 42) dislike the logo and will not be buying any gear with it on it. Thats all.

NorCal Aaron Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 What exactly is awesome or even novel in these designs? Same base uni and crest save for the enlarged the swords and miniature snofaluffagus. sux. Nancy, meet sluggo.
Lv-Bills Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Of course it is, best team in hockey, plays exciting, new jersey etc. 858060[/snapback] Anaheim?
