The current 1 is fine. Blur's track was fine & so was "Lonely Boy." And, the more often we hear whatever the #### it is, the better. Haven't heard any of those nearly enough. I would love to go back to song 2 Quote

It interesting to see how whatever he suggests instantly becomes the flavor of the week or hot move that must be made. The swords extending beyond the border of the shield are supposed to look like buffalo horns no? Quote

I don't care if the players may be fond of it - it's the fans that need to be considered and that selection was horrible. Entering an anniversary year and 'new era' with new coach, it's time for a new song.....or no song at all - just blast the horn 9-10 times like they do in some arenas and which worked great at the Aud. The fans were considered with the goal song. The fans voted for the current goal song over the one you wanted. They were both options. The fault falls with the Marketing Department or whomever made the initial list because all 12 songs (or however many choices they had to start) were garbage so people were stuck voting for the shiniest turd in the punch bowl.

A lot of people are acting as if this is the new jersey. It's still plausible they actually change to the royal blue. I'll even go as far as this patch would only work on the royal blue as the patch color would blend into the Navy jersey making it hard to see rather than stick out. Just a thought... As an art person whose biggest freelance client is patches... this is what I would do. Contrast. Also, be a cheeky way to keep hopes down and then bam, royal blue... As a Sabres fan... my hopes aren't high. 1 Quote

Hoss Posted May 20, 2019 Report Posted May 20, 2019 Of note: there's an alternate logo that will also be used, per the team's release. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/sabres-unveil-logos-for-50th-anniversary-season/c-307119256 3 Quote
CallawaySabres Posted May 20, 2019 Report Posted May 20, 2019 And mention of the celebration of the team's past, present and future reflects what I was told two years ago about the jersey. If that is still the case, they will run through the line of jerseys and then settle on a royal blue design moving forward. 2 Quote

Seeing as how the Sabres really need no assistance keeping hopes down right now, this seems unlikely to me. They knew they'd be disappointing the fans by indicating the continuation of Navy with this release (or rather, they knew what the fans would infer), and if royal is still coming as a surprise, it was a bold and risky (un Sabres-like) move. Hopefully it happens but I agree with your last line on it. Edited May 20, 2019 by Thorny Quote
Brawndo Posted May 20, 2019 Report Posted May 20, 2019 TJ Luckman, a producer for WGR, brought up an interesting point, since the Sabres made a switch to the current uniform in 2017 they cannot officially change to royal blue until the 2020-21 Season. Can anyone confirm this? Quote

Street Fighting Man... 1968. A song older than the Sabres. ? I wonder what percentage of people under the age of 40 even know that song? Nothing gets the young whipper snappers going like a good ol’ song from the 60s. Kids LOVE their grandparents music. Quote

Nothing gets the young whipper snappers going like a good ol’ song from the 60s. Kids LOVE their grandparents music. I didn't advocate for oldies, I just mentioned that the options were not good. I'm sure someone can post a link to all the initial options but from what I remember it was slim pickings. That DJ Kool Song was the only half way decent one of the options and it's 20 years old as well. I'd personally prefer something from the 90's-2000's-ish metal genre (Slayer, Manson, Pantera, System of a Down) that kicks into high gear right away, but that's me. More than anything, I was just letting Swordsman know the fans were able to vote on the decision. Quote

atoq Posted May 20, 2019 Report Posted May 20, 2019 Worried about the continued use of grey in this. Hopefully it's just a reference to previous eras and won't be a part of a future logos and color schemes. I'd rank removing the grey trim around the logo almost as high a priority for future designs as reverting to Royal blue. The grey looks alright on official sweaters but awful when the logo is smaller (especially on hats). Quote

As for Jeremy, like listening to him in the AM, though don't do it frequently. But rarely, if ever, agree with his ideas to improve game day presentations. Quote

Shields are in and they put a small buffalo flair on it. Some have suggested the jersey will be royal blue and the logo this but I don't think so. I think they will stick with navy because they just don't get it. Quote

So I guess there was some actual change 2 years ago. Still, I bet the league would bend some rules if they had to for a big anniversary. Quote
