darksabre Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 I still hate that they will be that crappy new Reebok material, though. I know, it's not complaint Thursday. Sorry... Are we positive on this? Weren't the winter classic jerseys the old style fabric?
Screamin'Weasel Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Yes, it will be the RBK cut and material. Carp's addendum to his post points out what he originally missed: all the RBK lace up collars have that webbing with the NHL logo on it behind the laces (which ruins the effect of having the laces to begin with, if you ask me). Even if I was not sure about them using RBK cut and materials before, that webbing in the photo confirms it.
daschuck77 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks for the link. Hopefully the subtle modification of the classic logo is reflected in the 3rds. Also, hopefully, Buffalo has requested to make the subtly modified 3rds the primaries for next year. (Hey, I can dream can't I?) That doesn't sound so far fetched...Hopefully this new jersey looks so good that people would want to see it on home ice for more than 15 games. People and their money will talk on this one.
daschuck77 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Dave is right on...Expect front numbers too. http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6758/testcopyqq9.png

People and their money will talk on this one. On a related note, it really surprised me that they didn't sell an authentic version of the Winter Classic jersey. The only one that they sold was the basic throwback "vintage" white replica, not the lace-up, RBK cut jerseys that they wore. I figured that those would sell like hotcakes if they had released them. If these look like what I think they will, I could definitely see a switch to these and the WC jerseys (with navy, not royal and the silver accents) in the near future. It would just generate too much revenue for them not to make the switch. Maybe they are waiting for a year where they have a contender to really capitalize (as happened in '06-'07.) This year, they will be good, but Max and Connolly (and a few others) being on the books still raises a lot of questions. Next year, we lose Max, Timmy and Ales (barring new contracts), as well as Spacek. The year after that, Toni and Hank are up. That's a lot of room for improvement (either directly through replacements or indirectly through more reasonable contracts), so they may wait a year or two until they have the right team again. Ah, purely speculation at this point ...
LabattBlue Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 In a related merchandise note, I stopped in the Sabres store yesterday and the amount of original logo merchandise continues to shrink. I know I am beating a dead horse, but I haven't wavered at all in terms of buying anything bearing the slug. On a side note(and I'm sure I've mentioned this before), who is designing the caps? Even if you ignore the slug(which I can't), most of them are hideous... http://shop.nhl.com/family/index.jsp?categ...90&view=all

I don't know, they did a fine job on this one: :thumbsup: It is scary to think that they can design hats that are hideous before they put the slug on!

spndnchz Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: : For Sarah Palin's son-in-law maybe.
TM8-PL16 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 two of my least favorite things... camo and the slug... wonderful find :wallbash: :thumbdown: :sick:
nobody Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 For Sarah Palin's son-in-law maybe. It should come with a little pocket to put the packet of chew.
TM8-PL16 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 not sure if it belongs here... but anyone else see the pics of Ryan Miller making an appearance in NYC wednesday at the NHL store? Looks like they had the good logo merch there and not the slug... well, not any that can be seen in this picture anyway. I'm sure the slug is in the store, just odd that they didn't put it front and center for the appearance.
nucci Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 Dave is right on...Expect front numbers too. http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6758/testcopyqq9.png Was it that hard for the Sabres to make this our new uniform? I'm from the old days and really would like this jersey as our regular.
spndnchz Posted September 5, 2008 Report Posted September 5, 2008 If those things have laces, they will be sold out in minutes. I think everyone is going to buy them. I know i'm already planning on buying a jersey, not too sure who though. Maybe Daniel Paille, Drew Stafford or Andrej Sekera, but if they have laces, i may even pick up two of those bad boys. Not sure if you (or anyone else) knows that the new jerseys won't be actually for sale on the 20th. To say, you can order from a kiosk in the store but it's a pre-order thing not a take home with you thing. As for my next jersey, it's Paille. A friend of mine skates with him on Thurs. nights, must be cool. check me Danny check me!
carpandean Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Posted September 8, 2008 Where'd the other third jersey thread go? I could see merging, but that one just straight up disappeared! For what it's worth, here's the pic from that thread that inspired DRutka's pic: and my version:
DRutka Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Here are some screens to get an idea how they would look on a player.
Knightrider Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Here are some screens to get an idea how they would look on a player. Man, what is that second pic about?
carpandean Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Posted September 9, 2008 Here are some screens to get an idea how they would look on a player. The look pretty good. Now, if they could just lose the snot smear on their pants ...
DRutka Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Man, what is that second pic about? Taken right after a goal was scored. They are yelling.
carpandean Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Posted September 9, 2008 Taken right after a goal was scored. They are yelling. No no, he meant why is Campbell wearing their new uniform?! ;)
frisky Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 When the hell can I buy one? Hope it doesn't take forever on back order but I think they will sell fast this year. Can't we just use those as our main ones? Keep the slug as a third so they can save some face. The Islanders went back although now they're kinda ugly.

Go to the Sabre Store and put your order in now...
ROC Sabres Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 Go to the Sabre Store and put your order in now... The actual store or the online store?
