Taro T Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I played off of PTS's banner he made for us in the R & B... I like it. I'd add a '39' at the end (it's inevitable, why not beat the rush), but other than that, I like it.
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 I like it. I'd add a '39' at the end (it's inevitable, why not beat the rush), but other than that, I like it. why is it impossible to find #11 in a white uniform??? :angry:
IKnowPhysics Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Simple, classy. The right end could use something more intricate than a plain field, unless it's meant to fade into the same color background. Maybe a proportionate, highlighted old logo. Perhaps a highlighted image of Fuhr in his ready stance to frame up the title against the other player.

I tried playing with the numbers, but nothing looked right.
inkman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 yes on the 1st point, but to be honest - I ran out of gas and I know that side is weak.... I tried playing with the numbers, but nothing looked right. What about the B with the Sabre through it in the lower right hand corner? :huh:
BuffalOhio Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I like it Scott, but you should probably prepare a Slug to put in there somewhere, since it's going to be shoved down our throats!
nfreeman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Pretty sweet. One question: might it be possible to use an older photo of Bert without a helmet -- ie flying up ice with long hair flowing in the jetstream?
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 Pretty sweet. One question: might it be possible to use an older photo of Bert without a helmet -- ie flying up ice with long hair flowing in the jetstream? if you can find one in a white jersey....
Stoner Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 The numbers are barely visible on my screen. I wonder if you should wait until the new colors are unveiled, or is that based on the PMS color that was leaked? Perreault... yeah, that's a bad pic of him. A lot of people might not even recognize him. Like a Britney Spears fan site using a photo of her today and not in 1999 or whenever she was hot. :) You need a more "iconic" image of Perreault as others suggested. But why is Perreault up there? It's not a history site, and as much as I love the guy and the old uniform and all that, this site is largely about today. A nod to history is nice, but I think one of those group celebrations after a playoff overtime goal, hopefully without any since-departed Sabres, would be a better image.

It would be cool to have a historical timeline from left to right... Have the banner that blue color (or whatever the final blue color is that they choose for the new jersey) and then have 4 or 5 pictures from left to right with your pick of guys like perrault, martin, shony, ramsey, ruff, foligno, lafontaine, hasek, and a current guy like campbell or drury. Or you can have a picture of cambell photoshopped knocking out chuck norris. That would be really sweet. I do love the buffalo skyline and that blue color, however, i like incorporating the history or a team picture as opposed to perrault... Lets face facts... half of the people here have never seen gillbert play, let alone could identify him in a crowd.

For every home win that came after "Elvis impersonator night", the Sabres ended the night with Bert on the Jumbotron serenading the crowd. :o
Stoner Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Hey how about putting some of us up there -- the fans? Then you wouldn't have to change the banner when the inevitable Curse of the Banner afflicts the chosen player.
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 Lets face facts... half of the people here have never seen gillbert play, let alone could identify him in a crowd. nor spell his 1st name correctly... ;) 1. I don't have any pictures from the 2003 finale and I can't find any on Google. So, until someone comes up with a Sabre in B & G then I'm stuck. 2. I've tried calibrating my monitor, but the new colors look like ass. Greenish-blue and orange is what I get on 2 seperate computers. The one I made is definitely blue, not the color that is off the leaked logo.
inkman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 Hey how about putting some of us up there... Man, would that be ugly.
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 Man, would that be ugly. actually, that is what I intended on doing for the forums. I need pics though.
TM8-PL16 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I'll make a few banners and share them... I did a few a while back for twobillsdrive just for fun some of you may have seen them, my name over there is MikeG SDS, I have some pics with Bert in the white... I'll make a few and if you want the pics or want to use a varation of an idea I have you can...
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 how about this one? I tried to stick to the new colors and I used a btter skyline shot.
Corp000085 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 That second one is sweet, however i do like the glowing city... As for bert in white, you know when you have something hidden in front of your eyes? Well, i do... go to my webshots picture: http://community.webshots.com/album/552488706WnvEHa Just a rough couple of pictures taken with my digital camera... If you want the originals, PM me and i'll e-mail you the files or take better pictures for photoshopping. I'm not good with photoshop so don't ask me to do that! as for personal pictures, i do have those albums still up fromt he playoffs which feature me, dcsabres, promotherobot, and navybillsfan.
Stoner Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 When I said fans, I didn't literally mean us! I meant fans -- random fans in the arena. Folks cheering.
SDS Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Posted July 23, 2006 When I said fans, I didn't literally mean us! I meant fans -- random fans in the arena. Folks cheering. I would rather have non-bashful people from the board - if they are dressed in Sabres gear and can provide nice crisp photos.
inkman Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 actually, that is what I intended on doing for the forums. I need pics though. Youe mean, we are going to see Deluca's mug everytime we visit our this forum?
