The person with the most goals and assists in #15 was decades ago, if that helps.

Also, the next phase could be even bigger than the contract if they show the front side of these photos and the C is on it.

Yup. Thanks for looking it up and spoiling it. ?

The first person to ever wear it for the team. So the first person to wear it has the most and the (current) last person to wear it has the second most.

So silly. Just wear the #15 jersey. 

If spending the money on jerseys that could immediately go out of date is such a crisis then just do what I do: don't buy jerseys until the player is retired from hockey.

Fans are too impatient. I would wait until next year when they might go back to the old version.

Eh, doesn't bother me.  Just makes it all that much easier to tell that my kids' Eichel's were from the "ground floor."  They were from the 1st season, but could either be 1st season or Oct-Dec of 2nd season by manufacturer & patches/lack thereof.

Winter Classic bought w/ Sabres bucks after serious markdown will wear well too.

Used to be able to tell you which year a Hasek was from as well just by looking at it too.

It is ridiculous with dahlin and now Eichel being new jerseys we don't have royal blue. Who cares about the 50th anniversary to do it

Um, is the answer the Pegulas, the NHL, & Adidas. :unsure:

At first I was bummed.. I wanted Eichel to own 15 and raise it to the rafters some day.

But if he's good enough to raise a number to the rafters, I really don't give a #### which number it is!

9 is cool. And like others said, any #15 jerseys will be retro. If he leads us to the promise land, you can prove you were around well before the glory. No bandwagon Jack fans here ?

Can't wait for everyone to be apoplectic again in 12 months when the uniforms change again. 

There's literally a guy whining to Jeremy White that his Winter Classic jersey "from 6 months ago" is outdated now. It's a one-time shot jersey from an outdoor game. It's not supposed to be current.

I currently own 2 nameless Sabres jerseys. One is the stupid Navy "home" jersey with the stupid silver piping and pit stains. I also have an old school "home" jersey that I picked up from the Sabres store not too long ago that looks the home jerseys they wore from 87-96 (using this site as a reference: http://www.nhluniforms.com/Sabres/Sabres.html )

I reckon once they switch back to the Royal Blue's I might buy a Dahlin or Eichel depending on how their careers are projecting.

Speaking on the WC jersey's.  I think that they rock.  Was there ever any discussion about making them permanent?  With royal blue the home jerseys of course.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
