It's just as well that 2020 is the year because they should hopefully be a playoff team by then. In the meantime, only ONE more year of crappy hockey and piss stained jerseys - whoohoo! You may have that chance because it was supposed to be this year...but probably next that they run through all of the jerseys and wind up on the royal. Expand This is still happening next year? I feel like they would have hinted at that along with the Royal announcement today, but who knows. I kinda hope that doesn't happen at this point, or we are waiting another 2 full seasons before we actually get the Royal full time. Edit: Also, everyone seems to be taking the announcement today to mean we are getting Royal for the start of the next season, if it turns out it's not until closer to the end, they are gonna risk annoying people now haha Edited August 15, 2019 by Thorny Quote

dudacek Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 I’m one of the few the favours navy to royal, but those pads look absolutely fantastic. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 For whatever reason, those pads look closer to our navy and off yellow than our royal blue to me. I have a friend who works with whoever distributes the sabres jerseys and has seen the royals and says they look great fwiw 1 1 Quote

I suppose it might not necessarily be royal blue, but they're definitely much brighter than what the team has been wearing. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 If they were smart and wanted some much needed good press, they would release the jersey early since the already exist. Quote

Expand The blue looks fine in person (at least on authentic sweaters in Sabres Store lighting), but it doesn't look as good on TV. Except... I forget which arena it was, but the lighting was such that the blue looked fantastic. That said, no problem here with a brighter blue to come. Quote

Expand This would be just one of many instances where my ability to discern color seems to be worse and different than anyone else's. It genuinely looks navy to me, just a hair brighter. I'm happy to admit that it is wrong but I'm trying hard and cannot see even a hint of the blue I've been pining for Quote
dudacek Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 Does anyone know if they are the exact same unis Perreault and Martin wore? Or are they the current jerseys in royal, or some other variation in the original colours? Quote

Expand I THINK if you laid out the uniforms they wore for the first 10 years, you'd see different shades of blue. I KNOW the logo was slightly different from year to year, especially in the early days. Things were pretty loosey goosey in the 70s and I don't think anyone cared. Quote

It was really bad in the early '80's with some of the logos seeming to be shaped more closely to the Denver Broncos old Rorschach test logo than the classic white charging Buffalo that was there in '70.

Expand For sure, but I think they also had the same numbers of stripes and the same yoke in the same basic colours in the same places. Just wondering if it’s going to be “the same” like the Bruins, or THE SAME like the Red Wings. Edited June 25, 2020 by dudacek Quote

I'm pretty sure it was well before 1980. Expand Take a look at photos of Housley from early in his career. The buffalo on the sweater has such a huge crown it is barely recognizable. And then look at any Perreault sweater from the early days. They cheaped out on the logo around '80. Quote
