Everything Sabres Uniform Related - Royal Blue Please!

[darksabre]

I like it in general, the stripes are a little odd. I like the gold charging Buffalo. I'm willing to sell my soul to get that blue back full time, though.

 

They weren't just going to run the old home whites, they have to make these things different every year.

Sure, but they didn't even try. Those thirds from a few years ago, now those were different but also good. 

 

These are putting A1 on a nice filet.

I like them.  I don't mind the NY.  As much as we can try and deny it, we are in NY.  

 

It could have been so much worse (and has been).  This is a small twist on a traditional sweater.  It will play well outdoors.

On the list of Sabres Jersey ups in their history, this is decidedly at the bottom.

There have been so many there is a list ????

I include the black and reds, but some would fight me on it.

As a stand alone jersey, I don't hate them. But the Sabres are defined by blue and gold, to change it up because they were trying to capitalize on the B-boy phenomenon of wearing all black and looking hood. They should be ashamed of themselves.

9 above looks better than 18 because the arms are bent. With 18, there appears to be too much white space between the stripes. Hopefully we don't field a team of that woman from Elaine's office who walked with her arms straight down.

 

I don't like the NY.

 

Otherwise, it looks kind of familiar. Why not something different?

no goathead ? :(

Bingo.

[pastajoe]

OK, but don't like "NY" on logo, and there should be gold on the yoke and numbers. Would like 3 sets of stripes.

[LGR4GM]

I like them. Probably because I'm sick of all the constant bitching over jerseys

[Jacque Richard]

It looks like a dress....but why should I be surprised

nice for ray then

[PromoTheRobot]

I HATE the NY on this. Don't care if it's only for one game.

Let me guess. Slap in the face, right?

[sodbuster]

The only thing I don't like about this sweater is the yellow buffalo patch. It looks like it was added as an afterthought, and it really doesn't fit on there. I think these are going to look really good on TV.

I know, right? Don't they always have the name of the city that the home team is playing in on their jerseys?

Bingo.

 

They were a success however.  I forget where I had read it but during that time they were one of the higher selling sweaters on the market and not just in Buffalo or with fans of course.  For an ownership group looking for money wherever they could find it they certainly succeeded.

 

That said, I think they were abominations.  I like the red crossed swords alternate they wore at one point (someone even gave me one) but the Sabres need to be royal and gold.

 

The other night someone at the rink asked who was playing Columbus.  They didn't recognize the black uniform.  Yep.. that's the problem.

[Kruppstahl]

These winter classic sweaters look like the old Original Six uniforms we would have had, had we been an original 6 franchise.

 

Also, I guess I am the only Sabres fan on Earth who dislikes the old royal blue.

It is a cheaper looking color compared to a deeper, more navy blue.

 

I actually rather dislike the overall look of our old uniforms; it's kind of a cheesy color combination. 

 

I didn't like it back when it was current and I don't like it now.

For a one-off jersey, I would've preferred something more like this.

It always impresses me that "amateurs" produce sharper stuff than the "pros." That's really cool.

It's a "too many cooks in the kitchen" kinda deal. The jersey designer might come up with something great. He shows it to the guy paying for it and that guy says "that's awesome! Here's what you have to change." Then 3 more people give their 2 cents. And then the jerseys end up sucking. All because everyone had to add that one little thing.

 

Or maybe that didn't happen at all.

[Stoner]

Did they sharpen up the hooves? Somehow, the logo looks a tiny bit different.

[3putt]

Why are we wearing white? We are the home team.

You're going to give Josie flashbacks to bad clients.
