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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

Yea. It'd look good white too.

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:

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."

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:

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 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.

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.

Wait, so bunomatic and d4rksabre are dating now? This is getting complicated. :unsure:

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!!!

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.
