[Sabres Fan in NS]

I don't really like it.

Would have preferred the Goat Head.

Uh no.

It's uninspired and in no way shouts HERITAGE.

Your Pepsi cap would do just that.

Other than being the Sabres ORIGINAL logo.

Not really. This would have been fun and self aware.

I'm talking about the weirdo logo. That's our heritage. Danny Gare was briefly dating a second grade teacher from Niagara Falls and her kids cut out the logos in art class.

You are going to have to bear with me here. That logo and the logo in the Heritage jerseys are identical. So what are you referring to exactly? Blue jersey? Moustaches? Perreault?

[Thorner]

It’s about half the size of the current

No.  The logo on the front of the sweaters is IDENTICAL to the logo they are CURRENTLY wearing on their regular unis.

The hump on the back of the buffalo is almost exactly (if not exactly) the same as the one on the original trademarked logo.  It is nothing at all similar to what seamstresses in the late '70's & early '80's bastardized the Buffalo into.

I like the jerseys.    The cream is nice.

The Toronto Arenas were the original name of the Toronto Maple Leafs when the NHL was founded.

The shirts don't say "Arenas;" they say "Aretnas."  Once again, wtf is an Aretna.

PS They also were the St. Pats for a while.

[Stoner]

At least Toronto tried.

Strange that you'll give Toronto a pass for trying but if Buffalo tries and fails you're all aboard the doom and gloom train.

When Biron was holding it up during the 1st intermission and you could see it up close and the detail - I thought it was very nicely done. 

[IKnowPhysics]

Welp, at least theirs suck more.

 

I don't mind most of the specific details on ours, and I still love Hairy Buffalo, but the cream color jersey heralds an era of cotton jerseys that simply never existed during our frachise's history.  It poses.

 

I'd rather have seen strict Adidas adaptations of both teams' OG 1970 jerseys, proper crests and all, maybe slap a QEW highway sign patch on the upper chest, and call it good.  They'd look better, sell better, and history better.

Interestingly, they actually tried to split the difference between the two original Arenas jerseys.  The first one just had a big white 'T' with no 'ARENAS' at all.  The second was a true 'ARETNAS' jersey will all letters in white.  Here, the name is contrasted to the point where, from far away, it looks like the original.  Up close, however, you see the 'ARENAS' name like the second one.  Kinda neat, from that standpoint.

Toronto’s looks like a practice jersey. If I’m going to pay for another Sabres jersey I’m not getting a dirty shade of their same jersey. Use the yellow shoulder buffalo as the main logo, or the goat head, or the B with the sword through it, or the written Buffalo they had on the 40th anniversary blue jersey, or a new logo like a herd of charging buffalo. Give me something new.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

If the NHL wanted to have a true Heritage Classic they should have teams play against each other from the same eras.

Sabres would play Vancouver, or maybe the Islanders and Washington could be in that group.  All around 50 years old.

Original six teams should play against other original six teams.  All around 100 years old.

'67 expansion teams should play against other '67 expansion teams or maybe lump them in with the 50 year history crowd.

Everyone else plays against each other or better yet are not included.
