New Gold Alternate 3rds

[sabills]

Give me that level of detail in the crest next year too. Looks so cool. Might not play well in white, though, I suppose.

I hope it gets to live on beyond just this year as a third jersey. That will give some people the home whites they want for at least a few nights. 

You wonder why the NHL doesn't allow 3rd and 4th jerseys. That tied to the goat head for alternates would be fun. 

Limiting jersey configurations just seems like a lost chance at more money.

yeah, in the EPL teams literally get entirely new kits every year. Home, Away, and Third. It lets them go crazy with the thirds, too colorwise. I don't know if I want stuff to change THAT much, but it seems dumb that they restrict it as much as they do.

That alternate 50 kit is right spiffing. Full marks.

There's a fair amount of cross-pollination that's happening between NA and Europe in terms of pro sports. Almost all of the elements being borrowed and adopted have to do with increasing revenues. I therefore expect some NA leagues to get into that business of tweaking the kits every year, and going crazy with a 3rd kit every year as well. Too much money to be made to avoid it.

True, true, but let me make this counter point:

No one gets in their own way quite like the NHL.

Not bad for 1 year

That thing is frickin' ugly. I do not...repeat: DO NOT...like the gold treatment at all. The only thing cool is the white gloves.  

I think people are still hungover from the Royal Blue punch being served up yesterday.  

[sabills]

I'm glad they went blue pants instead of white. I'm all about the contrasting top and bottom colors. All one color tends to look like pajamas.

I wonder if the whites next year will at least follow this design, if not the shade of gold.

It's a mild shock that this isn't completely awful.

I disagree, it is completely awful.

Embrace it. It’s gorgeous. It’s OK to say it.

I think it is the most ugly Buffalo ever.  Really, who has ever heard of a gold coloured Buffalo.

Really, this is terrible.  NS does not approve, but that does not matter.

Did anyone notice that of the 13 games they'll wear these jerseys, all the original 6 teams are on that schedule and New Jersey is on it (twice??) 

[pi2000]

Why not a few road games?

Pretty sure you can't wear alternates on the road per NHL rules

You want white breezers with blue sweaters?

Which is EXACTLY why they announced the Royal yesterday......

DANG, and I thought your Sandinista take was bad!!!  ???

I think I don't like the fake laces.

I don't love these but they're also not a complete embarrassment, so that's progress for the organization. Not that I ever buy any of these jerseys, so what the hell does my opinion matter?

Looking forward to the royal blue.

[Randall Flagg]

I mean, I loved it back when the original "leak" happened. And while I'm happy they announced royal blues, we kinda knew they were going back to them for a couple years now.

These are just beautiful jerseys, that's all there is to it. 

[Sidc3000]

Do you have to go to the Sabres Store to preorder or can it be online?  I’m in virginia but my son and I want one.  Also, do we know how much?
