Everything Sabres Uniform Related - Royal Blue Please!

[Sabel79]

I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that nobody's wearing thirds at all this upcoming season. Which is nice.

 

But for the love of all that is holy, royal blue needs to be brought back.

Without third jerseys they could go to home whites.

[Taro T]

Without third jerseys they could go to home whites.

Only to take them away from us the following season.

 

Even the NHL isn't tone deaf enough to do that to us. Would be very surprised to see home whites. :(

[North Buffalo]

YES!!

 

. I just realized if you zoom in on the eye in the Buffalo it is the Chinese Yin and Yang sign... No wonder Sabres are cursed.

starting to get used to possibly returning to royal blue, saw a couple of pictures on twitter earlier.

[SwampD]

YES!!

 

That really is a great logo.

[Taro T]

That really is a great logo.

Would be better in b&g. ;)

 

And my preference for that logo is as the shoulder patch w/ the original logo as the main crest.

[carpandean]

That really is a great logo.

Meh.  It's a good logo, but not for a team called the Sabres.  It would make more sense for the Bisons.  The red third's logo was more appropriate.

[DirtDart]

You just can't beat it

I forgot how good those look. I will definitley buy another Jersey this year if they return to that color scheme. Last thing I need is another dam jersey. Edited May 29, 2017 by DirtDart

And they need to turn it upside down so that the cartoon devil is on full display.  That's all I can ever see when I look at that logo.

It's something I'll never understand. I have always preferred to see the different colors teams use for their jerseys, and I would think that, since most people I have talked to feel that way, the NHL would want to go this route due to the possibility of more non-market jersey sales. I'm pretty sure I've never bought a white non-Sabres jersey and don't think I ever would.

They can't easily market third jerseys, which almost always are dark, that way.

[Doctor of Philhousley]

Bump...after all this initial excitement and still no denial from an inside source OR confirmation. I, Dr. Housley, am calling it without any fact facts or alternative facts. Royal blues are happening.

The Sabres are going to get a new jersey this year for the winter classic. Wonder what that will look like. Hopefully it will feature the original colors.

 

And why doesn't the NHL just have teams switch home jerseys after the new year. So they start the year wearing light jerseys at home and then wear dark jerseys at home after Jan 1st.

 

That way fans will be able to see both home team's jerseys live during the season, as well as the opponents jerseys.

[WildCard]

Aren't they announcing this soon?

[Robviously]

FWIW, we've had three primary color eras so far: Royal Blue, Black, and Navy Blue.  The last has been the most lame by far.  Bring on the royal blue!

[CallawaySabres]

I say go with this for winter classic....distorted Buffalo and all

or leave it up to the home team to decide

Six stripe socks or bust.

I don't know how to link a tweet but if someone can post the picture Sabres.com tweeted commenmerating the selection of Gil Perrault, I'd like to discuss just what were the original colors.

I remember a conversation I had with Rip laughing about how little thought was put into uniforms back then. Colors changedbyear to year, name plates were sewn and parched together after trades.

welp, no royal blue.... sucks, but I'm OK with it.   Getting rid of the grey piping and armpits would be an improvement.

[Randall Flagg]

The gray is still on the logo, causing the awful overlapping. Nice. 

Will you losers running this franchise ever get this right?
