Claude_Verret Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Whats the date this jersey will be revealed?? When the stars align in the twittersphere.
darksabre Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Whats the date this jersey will be revealed?? We're waiting on the first numeral.
LTS Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 I hope they drive everyone nuts. Mostly because it's just a jersey. Besides, I like Euro jerseys.. and most of those look like the side of a Sprint Cup car.
Andrew Amerk Posted September 2, 2013 Report Posted September 2, 2013 Maybe a mysterious force will buy up most of the jerseys, and fans will be forced to look on StubHu - I mean, eBay.
LGR4GM Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 omg this is awesome!!! Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres 4m Your favorite part of the week... here's a *NEW* sneak peek of our third jersey this year! pic.twitter.com/tO3Is5okID Steve Ott @otterN9NE 1m Uncle, This is ridiculous!

Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres 8m @otterN9NE Hi Steve, we appreciate your excitement for the jersey, but we have a lot more pics to go before we unveil! Steve Ott @otterN9NE 1m .@BuffaloSabres this jersey unveil is taking longer than a dinner invite from @Mike6Weber #Uncle
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I love Steve Ott. It's official. OK...put the "C" on that M'F'r And when we talk of the merits of Darcy being a "yes" man.....can anyone here in their wildest dreams see him talking to Pegula like Ott just did to his employer?
nobody Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 OK...put the "C" on that M'F'r One of those fancy ones with the Sabres underneath. :)
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 did anyone see the new "sneak peek" -- it's a feckin' swatch of dark blue. that's it. between that and the "lot more pics" tweet, i'm beginning to wonder what the hell is going on with the new social media dude. even if this all meant to be some sort of long-play subtle joke, it's a bad one.

I've had no problem with the process. It's nothing more than a little waste of time while nothing is going on. This one today is just plain stupid though.

This one today is just plain stupid though. i know the gripes always get the attention (and few people will post/tweet about the fact that they're "okay with the process"), but i will venture that you're among a minority (perhaps a small one) of the fans who're active on social media. i also think that steve ott's tweets will further galvinize the active fans against this particular marketing campaign. and i agree that it's harmless enough, inconsequential even. i just sorta hate it because it indicates to me how dull and unimaginative the sabres' presence on social media is going to be.

It's just so much hype for a jersey that now cannot possibly meet the expectations of those of us who have been "playing along". Seriously, I can't imagine it being good enough to warrant this much buildup.

I don't use social media at all. Anything I see of this stuff is what is posted here. Anyway, with that comment that there are still more to come, I really hope the whole thing is just one giant puzzle where the individual pieces can be put together to show the entire jersey. Anything short of that and the whole thing really does seem to be a waste.

Anything short of that and the whole thing really does seem to be a waste. i don't think that's what they're working towards. i think this has been a mis-guided disaster of a promo campaign undertaken by a well-intentioned guy who's new to the job.shoot. even MSM-ish sites have gotten the word out that the sabres have bungled this campaign. http://www.sportingn...=SOC/Twi/SNMain edit: twitter's tophelf hits the nail on the head. I’m kind of excited about all the Sabres babies. I don’t mind Darcy. I’m THE easiest fan in the world. I HATE the Sabres 3rd jersey BS. https://twitter.com/...282302647275520 edit 2: and, yes, shrader - the fact that you don't use twitter would place you firmly outside the sphere of the fans who're getting super annoyed by this nonsense.

So maybe this is where my refusal to use twitter comes into play, but if it is so annoying, why are you even paying attention to it. I get sick or annoyed by something, I find something else.
Eleven Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Steve Ott @otterN9NE 1m I'm sharing if you don't @BuffaloSabres #FansWantToSeeIt pucks in your rink! Boom. I'll give you 10 minutes. Otter! Do it!
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 So maybe this is where my refusal to use twitter comes into play, but if it is so annoying, why are you even paying attention to it. I get sick or annoyed by something, I find something else. well, i use twitter throughout my day. for a lot of things. some of it's even work-related (e.g., i follow some of my clients there). so, twitter is part and parcel of my day-to-day. the sabres are on twitter and are active there as they try to formulate their brand in an electronic age. thing is? they are not good at twitter. which, in modern terms, means they are not good at marketing or engaging their fans. to borrow a biz school term from russ brandon, they are tarnishing the brand with this crap. so, i could ignore it. but i love the franchise and want it to grow and be awesome, so when it's out there in the world kickin' up a pile of suck, i get annoyed. oh, and now deadspin has a hold of this, so the broadcasting of this debacle is almost complete in our 24-hour news cycle. look for the story to air on tonight's local news broadcasts. http://deadspin.com/cool-tweet-buffalo-sabres-1251389927 Steve Ott @otterN9NE 1m I'm sharing if you don't @BuffaloSabres #FansWantToSeeIt pucks in your rink! Boom. I'll give you 10 minutes. Otter! Do it! waaaiiiiiittt a second. wait a second. is this feeling a little pro wrestling-ish to anyone else? OK...put the "C" on that M'F'r maybe the big "reveal" is ott doing an "unauthorized" bootleg reveal where he's wearing his #9 with the C on it.
chileanseabass Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 waaaiiiiiittt a second. wait a second. is this feeling a little pro wrestling-ish to anyone else? Been following along on Twitter and was just thinking that myself... Does Ott reveal the new jersey, one that has his name on the back and a "c" on the front?
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 wait a minute ... why... tha -- ... !!! WHY ... THAT'S MIKE WEBER'S MUSIC!
Eleven Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Been following along on Twitter and was just thinking that myself... Does Ott reveal the new jersey, one that has his name on the back and a "c" on the front? Yeah, that's probably exactly what's going on. Good call CSB and Aud.

That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 for the love of the sweet baby jesus.
Eleven Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 It doesn't get better when he turns around: https://twitter.com/otterN9NE/status/375290768274890754/photo/1
