Hoss Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 Sorry for the gd part, just calling a spade a spade in this case though. What part are you sorry for?
Stoner Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Let me guess. This festers awhile. Sabres skate out for the first scrimmage or preseason game and rip them off. Come back out with the real ones.
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Sorry for the gd part, just calling a spade a spade in this case though. no, no. i was asking whether you had figured out that the thing with ott was staged. Guys, seriously? They're just busting their own balls after the slug debacle. I like that they're having fun with it and pranking a lot of us. That's not the jersey. /crosses fingers
shrader Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Guys, seriously? They're just busting their own balls after the slug debacle. I like that they're having fun with it and pranking a lot of us. That's not the jersey. Use all of this for fun and then just switch back to the previous 3rd jersey. That's about all they can do to save face from this one.
Claude_Verret Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Hasn't chz seen the jersey before? Can you confirm if this is legit?
shrader Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 The thing almost even looks like it was hastily thrown together and isn't a real thing. No designer could possibly think that white piping under the shoulder extending beyond the blue and into the gray cuffs is a good idea. It almost looks like they just put a piece of tape across the front of the jersey to add in that stripe.
dudacek Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 That totally is the jersey. This reveal was calculated from day one. And that turned out to be a very effective Twitter campaign. Don't be mad because you got sucked in. (Feel free to hate the jersey though)
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 good call shrader and PA. the more i think about it, the more i think it's a like a frankenstein of the worst choices in modern jerseys -- the different colors on front/back, the wee small caps with the city's name, the modern-ish font for number and name, the weirdness at the collar, etc. That totally is the jersey. This reveal was calculated from day one. And that turned out to be a very effective Twitter campaign. i agree that the mechanics of the reveal worked pretty well - kudos for that. but if that's the jersey? :sick:
nobody Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 The thing almost even looks like it was hastily thrown together and isn't a real thing. No designer could possibly think that white piping under the shoulder extending beyond the blue and into the gray cuffs is a good idea. It almost looks like they just put a piece of tape across the front of the jersey to add in that stripe. I think it is a reflective strip so the players won't get hit while on the ice.
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 look at ott's right arm, front and back. as shrader points out, the piping on the front looks ... like it's not even attached. then look at the stitching on the rear view: talk about a frankenstein theme.
LGR4GM Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Frankenjersey better be fake... I gotta go barf... again
darksabre Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 If this is a fake it then there's no way in hell the real one can meet expectations. And really PA, this is the part of the organization you're willing to put faith in? Right.
... Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 A woefully uninspired design...gee, what a surprise. Holy ###### Steve Ott is such a dick for this, but it's also so hilarious. Disagree...at least SOMEONE in the organization is keeping it real... LOVING the Twitter reactions: Dan O'Toole @fs1otoole 45s 'Remember the car Homer Simpson designed? Well I want that in a jersey'. Said someone in the Buffalo Sabres organization. Greg Wyshynski @wyshynski 5m Sorry, just got back from vomiting. Casey Baksa @caseybaksa 1m The only thing worse than the #Sabres last couple of seasons is the alternate jersey they just revealed. Yikes.
shrader Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 look at ott's right arm, front and back. as shrader points out, the piping on the front looks ... like it's not even attached. then look at the stitching on the rear view: talk about a frankenstein theme. I don't mean to suggest that I think it is a fake. It just looks plain awful though. It looks like something you'd see in roller hockey or the ECHL. I've seen stuff this bad in my beer league.
nobody Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Can we go back to the sneak peeks and just forget we ever saw this?
CallawaySabres Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 OH MY GOD What a piece of shiit all around......color, design, everything is so wrong with this it's not even funny.....
... Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I like it. This doesn't help any denials of being "on the payroll"...
ROC Sabres Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I like it. Honestly, I kinda do too.
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Disagree...at least SOMEONE in the organization is keeping it real... For those just tuning in: Ott was in on the joke. The "leak" was staged.
josie Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I think it looks like a design by committee, where the designer had a cool comp and a guy with money walked in eating lunch and said "I think you should amp it up. Really dazzle us. Needs some zazz. And some smooth grey like..." *smears grey poupon from his sandwich on designer's monitor* "juuust like thiiss..."
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 that jersey is a putrified piece of dog sh!t. objectively. excepting the presence of the traditional crest, there can be no reasoned debate concerning its utter lack of charm or redeeming aesthetic elements.
sjb012 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 OH MY GOD What a piece of shiit all around......color, design, everything is so wrong with this it's not even funny..... This. Is this real life?

I don't know how much commercial work you do, but I do a lot of it. And you're absolutely correct: this design smacks of being designed by a whole bunch of suits and one weak-willed designer.

I'm guessing it has a bubble dome, shag carpeting, tailfins, and the horn plays la cucaracha.
