Just because people won’t buy one doesn’t mean they don’t like they though. I won’t be getting one but I like it. Can’t buy that and a goathead in the same year.

I added that question

It would have been rather stupid to call yourselves the Golden knights and NOT have gold in your jersey somewhere Einstein. Don’t hurt yourself doing the mental gymnastics on that obvious color choice VGK.

Wrt the poll:

1. Yes. 

2. Unsure. I'm not much for buying jerseys of current players but if this team surprises us this year then I might consider it.

I'm loving the responses... you know.. The Ducks had gold before Vegas had a shot at a hockey team.  The Stars... the list goes on.

This response was pretty golden:

Every time I see this, I feel like he should have a cigarette, or maybe a joint, in his hand.

Yes and Yes. I've been wanting to get a Dahlin sweater and was hoping to do so with the 50th. I find it pleasing.

I really wish they’d move on from that whale breaking out of the C logo. It’s always looked awkward to me. Isn’t there some sort of corporate connection though that will keep them using it?

Expand  

The former ownership group was called Orca Bay. There is no connection with the current owners, who are better known for taking advantage of migrant workers.

Yes and yes to the poll, although apparently my wife thinks the ten Sabre jerseys I already have are enough.

Weird, she’s usually way sharper than that.

[Randall Flagg]

I love it, but I don't own any jerseys and the only two I plan on purchasing over the next decade or two are an Eichel road royal jersey, and a Dahlin home one.

[SABRES 0311]

Is this a jersey you would want a player to sign or leave clean?

[GoPuckYourself]

I'll just wait for the Chinese knock off of this, I can only imagine what this is going to cost in the Sabres store.

[steveoath]

Hoodie in the same colour scheme would do me.

Chinese knockoffs have been better quality than whatever fanatics crap you buy at the team store. Can’t imagine why this would be different

$195 for a blank. Holy smokes. That's not even including postage and import duty for us EUers.

And a white crest I'm assuming? I hope they don't keep a gold crest on the new uniforms, which I've read some suggest. 

I like these special ones though for the 50th. 

Expand  

I'd like them to keep the textured buffalo of the 50th logo, but done in white, not gold.  It would be a very subtle update to the simple old jerseys.

Edit: yeah, like this.

I must be a little slow on the uptake, but I just got that it's the buffalo's mane. You have to hand it to the Sabres. They knocked this one out of the park.

So there's the griffin that is half lion and half eagle.  I wonder if the greeks have a buffalo bird.

Only thing I can think that's close is the Assyrian Lamassu:
