Stoner Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Uuuuuuuhhhhhhh......... I didn't think I would ever type these words… will you add some sanity to this thread?
thesportsbuff Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Must be nice to see life that way. i would venture to guess that no jersey the team put out would have pleased the fan base other than a yellow version of our current jerseys.. everything else is "too modern" or "too different" for people to accept.
Stoner Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Ted just dictated instructions for Louise to remember to pay Paul Wieland's retainer.
thewookie1 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 If this was a marketing ploy, it was genius. #Sabres is trending #1 on twitter
Stoner Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Nothing on sabres.com yet? Not for sale in the Sabres Store on rollout day? If this was a marketing ploy, it was genius. #Sabres is trending #1 on twitter Wookie gets a cookie!
TrueBlueGED Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I didn't think I would ever type these words… will you add some sanity to this thread? LOL! I honestly don't even know. I think it's absolutely atrocious (Donahoe-era Bills bad), but I'm not going to jump off a cliff or anything. I wasn't going to buy one either way, so all it means is I have to watch an ugly jersey on an ugly team for 10 or so games this year. Meh. How about this spin: they designed a jersey to match the team--haphazardly constructed with a bunch of parts that don't coherently fit together, resulted in a very underwhelming product. They don't just want to be bad, they want to look bad while doing it! :P

If that would please the fan base, why wouldn't they just do that? Isn't that the whole purpose of creating a new jersey? This is far more objective than building a team. The purpose is very simple, please as many people as possible right away.

You have no idea what good, nay excellent or brilliant, creative can do for any organization/entity. Frankly, the regular jerseys aren't that great, they're just better than the slug. The extra lines in the logo? The way too dark blue? The stupid trim lines? The Sabres creative crew is just awful...I've been saying it for years.
nobody Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 This is likely a joke seeing as the jersey has different yellows for the arms v.s. the torso. The front torso looks like a development camp jersey. The arms look like they were just sowed on to give it arms. The number on the back looks like something they just had laying around in storage for 5 or 6 years. Is that just a strange fold or is part of the jersey cut off on the very bottom left side?

shrader Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I kind of hope the seal the deal and wear gold helmets with these. May as well go all out awful.
... Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Finally! I found the inspiration for this design!
TrueBlueGED Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I kind of hope the seal the deal and wear gold helmets with these. May as well go all out awful. Agreed. If we can get the best bad uniforms in the league, at least we've accomplished something!
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Nothing on sabres.com yet? Not for sale in the Sabres Store on rollout day? twitter feed said pre-ordering starts next month. https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/375295620392558592 If this was a marketing ploy, it was genius. #Sabres is trending #1 on twitter Hmmm.
TheMatrix31 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Absolutely unacceptable. Some saying "it's just a jersey" miss the point that it's all about branding. This is the IDENTITY of the team we're talking about. People might not know who our third line center is but they damn sure know what our jerseys and logo look like. ###### atrocious.

The Sabres creative crew is just awful...I've been saying it for years. Totally agree with the current logo comments you have here. Just go with the 70s color and logo and although you won't please EVERYBODY, 98% is pretty damn close. Stupid stupid stupid Sabers
Hoss Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Posted September 4, 2013 The reason I believe that this jersey is REALLY bad is because I normally love when teams do something strange, new and different. I don't like it this time. I'm a jersey liberal and don't like this.
drnkirishone Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I dont hate it. But still think the 40th jerseys shoulda been kept instead
That Aud Smell Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 puck daddy's twitter feed astutely pointed out that this is one of the team's practice jerseys. that i could have lived with. (well, i'll live with the current one as well. but you know what i mean.)
Eleven 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..." It's like when they added Poochie to Itchy & Scratchy.
... Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Looks like the design crew at Sabres HQ is on a Tron kick today. They're ridiculous over there... Actually, the Tron look would be way better thirds.

(well, i'll live with the current one as well. but you know what i mean.) That would have been MORE than fine.
IKnowPhysics Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 OH NO. I hope's Ott's just ###### with us.
TrueBlueGED Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Putting aside my anti-yellow/gold bias, these wouldn't be that bad if they just dumped all of the gray accents and went with the solid blue and gold back/body.
