Maybe classic jerseys for warmups or something. There's no way they have the guts to re-release all of them as special editions and worn in games. 1 Quote

dudacek Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Canucks have 4 jerseys - the regular home and away and two alternates, one a revised throwback, the other a pure throwback 1 Quote
CallawaySabres Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Well that falls into line of what I was originally told 2 years back....a run through all the jerseys 1 Quote

You're right though. These are definitely patches/merchandising. What’s weird about it? The colors do need to match for a patch. I could see the logo maybe seeming a bit off. They could potentially remove that on a patch and push the 1970 together. Maybe someone with better eyes than me can say otherwise, but I believe that would make the last two identical. Quote

I mean, typically if you're doing a special patch you keep it uniform and just slap it on everything whether or not the colors match. I'd have expected a Golden Anniversary colored patch (that matches the rumored all white and gold kits) to be put on all the throwback jerseys. But this muddies the waters a bit and seems to go counter to that white and gold theme they're trying to establish. Quote

Though it also matches what @CallawaySabres was saying years ago. Which is much cooler than just having one alternate white&gold jersey. 1 Quote

It certainly makes sense to celebrate all the different jerseys, but it's weird to me that they're already hitting their Golden Anniversary theme with a bus. It's only June! Quote

Taro T Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 The weird thing about these logos is they are in a distinctly different layout than the 50th anniversary magnets the team sent out last month. 34 minutes ago, shrader said: Seems like we are looking at chest patches for each Jersey. That, or shoulder patches to differentiate them from the original uni versions. Quote

I feel like if they were going to be wearing all the different uniforms in-game, that would have already been announced. In fact, the Sabres aren't doing themselves any favors by incorporating this level of ambiguity into their plans, unlike Vancouver. I think warm-ups are the best we can hope for at this point. Quote

Well, considering they changed their plans relatively last minute on when to celebrate the 50th, maybe the league asked them to hold off on announcing the unis plans (if in fact they are cycling through them all). Or, it could just be a continuation of the Golisano Era uni unveilment style. The slugs weren't officially presented until training camp. Quote

The discussion up thread that the Sabres wouldn't have been allowed to cycle through all the previous unis in game...if they break that rule and do it, they should have broken the "no new jerseys for 3 years" rule and just given everyone the Royal Blue they wanted.

Well, the Habs set the precedent for cycling through sweaters roughly a decade ago, so it'd be tough to deny them (though purely within the NHL's modus operandi). But they don't want to alienate their uniform suppliers by allowing the Sabres to set the precedent that the 3 year rule is officially avoidable. (Though with vintages, stadium series, and celebratory unis, it already effectively is.) Quote
