TM8-PL16 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I like the fact, that the CITY name is displayed.... I'll buy one just because there isn't a slug on it I totaly agree!! I really do like it, and can't wait to never see the slug on anything ever again!!! since I already have a current 3rd (soon to be primary home), I will buy a new third and a new white one! can't wait!!
eball Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I couldn't care less about the 3rd sweater, as long as the slug is dead. Can't wait to buy a "new" white one.
bottlecap Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Buffalo has never got the uniform just right. Maybe LQ's poison influence? :wallbash:
LabattBlue Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Please do. I'm curious to see that. But still, to celebrate their 40th anniversary, they show homage to a jersey older than 40 years? Stupid marketing ploys. 4 Surprising to hear that four other teams have gone to this. I just don't like the jerseys being cluttered and that is what the number on the front does IMO.
buffaloaggie Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Are the Sabres playing hockey or softball in that 3rd jersey? Also glad to see the slug is finally being squashed.
Stoner Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Are the Sabres playing hockey or softball in that 3rd jersey? :worthy:
Pville29 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Glad to see to see the slug die cause that logo look like a giant banana and it's not fearful enough.
Calvin Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Remember the red third jersey with the big crossed swords and the word Buffalo at the bottom when we had ol' goathead? I'd like to see a version of that in blue linky
henysgol Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Are the Sabres playing hockey or softball in that 3rd jersey? Also glad to see the slug is finally being squashed. Does look like a softball design. The writing is too similar to Minnesota's new 3rd. They're just going to keep crapping out new jerseys forever.

NNYSABRESMAN Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Are they getting rid of helmets and going to baseball hats and chewing tobacco also. Like the city name on the jersey but in a different font. Overall though the layout is Booooor____ring. :thumbdown:
eball Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Since everyone has apparently interpreted the pic in that link as the "official" 3rd jersey, here's the actual blog post from the guy who posted it: "New home, road & alternate jerseys The Sabres will be undergoing big changes to celebrate their 40th anniversary season. Their current third jersey — a throwback with some modern updates — will take over as the home jersey, as has long been rumored. Reebok lists the Sabres' road sweater as TBD, but it will most likely be a white version of the current alternates. I also understand they'll be adding an entirely new third jersey, but I'm told it may be only for the 40th anniversary season. It will be royal blue with BUFFALO in a white script across the front, containing the vintage logo with the player's number underneath. The concept here to the right is my own rough rendering of the description I've been given. I've added the traditional striping and colors. Obviously this jersey design isn't exact. But based on what I've been told, it's probably a good estimation. We'll have to wait until this summer to find out for sure."
Doohicksie Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I'd also enjoy seeing the Goathead in blue and gold. I hear ya - and also hold a (secret) affinity for the goathead. The two of you guys worry me. :unsure:
frisky Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I just hope the new whites aren't ugly. They couldn't f that up. Could they?
frisky Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 If they are going to go retro, maybe they should go way back. Pick one of the old designs. I think that would be neater. Bisons history
Eleven Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Remember the red third jersey with the big crossed swords and the word Buffalo at the bottom when we had ol' goathead? I'd like to see a version of that in blue linky Have one. It's the only sweater I have from what I will call the Stendhal* era. It's actually a great sweater, IMO, but a team never should change colors. Does look like a softball design. The writing is too similar to Minnesota's new 3rd. They're just going to keep crapping out new jerseys forever. I don't hate the mockup yet, and as the writer said, it probably isn't accurate. Whatever comes out might actually be cool. Let's give it a chance. And even if it sucks, it's a THIRD sweater that sucks, not the main design. *lit geeks will know why.
bunomatic Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Just another money grab by Quinn and co.Now I'll have to go out and get another damn Sabres tattoo.Not!
Calvin Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Have one. It's the only sweater I have from what I will call the Stendhal* era. It's actually a great sweater, IMO, but a team never should change colors. i don't think i've seen this one.. do you have any pics or links? thanks.
ntjacks79 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Just another money grab by Quinn and co.Now I'll have to go out and get another damn Sabres tattoo.Not! PLEASE tell me you didn't get a "Slug" tattoo... that would be the equivalent of getting your 16 year-old girlfriend's name tattoo.
Cereal Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 PLEASE tell me you didn't get a "Slug" tattoo... that would be the equivalent of getting your 16 year-old girlfriend's name tattoo. Wait, so bunomatic and d4rksabre are dating now? This is getting complicated. :unsure: :ph34r:
spndnchz Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Wait, so bunomatic and d4rksabre are dating now? This is getting complicated. :unsure: :ph34r: They're fukronauts. :nana:
sabills Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 I just saw this mock-up which i like alot better. stylized after the old buffalo bisons bottle cap. http://sabresnotslugs.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-could-very-well-be-new-third.html
SabresRepublic Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 I couldn't care less about the 3rd sweater, as long as the slug is dead. Can't wait to buy a "new" white one. When we do get rid of the slug (if it happens) can we have a ceremony whereby we bring in a live goat and bring over a bucket of slugs and have it eat them? Goats do eat slugs. But then again so do the French! Maybe we should bring in a French goat so that noone is offended? You know, hockey is for everyone!!! And we can actually celebrate the French Connection! Those were the days!!! GO BUFFALO SABRES!!!

Eleven Posted April 4, 2010 Report Posted April 4, 2010 I'm hearing that you never again will see the Sabres in the blue slug sweater. It's done, deep-sixed, kaput; the Florida game was the end of that.
