ET1062 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Marty has one of the Celcius designs on his new mask! Way to go Marty!!!
Orange Seats Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Where's the photo. I'll believe it when I see it. I can't imagine that helmets don't have to meet some kind of "graphic standards" that the team sets. I can't imagine them letting Marty contradict the logo push. EDIT: Ha, sorry, I guess they showed it on the TV feed. I'm listening to WGR550.com. Hmm. Can't wait to see it.

They just showed off his new mask on VS. Are you not watching the game?
Orange Seats Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Nope, listening to RJ online... not near a TV with cable tonight.
ET1062 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Posted October 24, 2006 Well, it does have the new logo on each side...but I did see one of the Celcius designs on the back side.
Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Well, it does have the new logo on each side...but I did see one of the Celcius designs on the back side. The slug logo is above each temple but a John Slabyk Sabres logo is definitely on each side! Incredible, an internet team logo just broke into the NHL. And the Sabres are showing off a good new logo 9 games into the season.
Orange Seats Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 And the Sabres are showing off a good new logo 9 games into the season. Nine wins into a nine game old season... that's why it's hard to complain.
Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Nine wins into a nine game old season... that's why it's hard to complain. The suckiness of the uniforms has no effect on the team being incredible. Here are the logos on each side of the helmet: and "Alt_01" and "Alt_01a" if you head over to "previous designs" on this page. Link
UnionAMG Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 The slug logo is above each temple but a John Slabyk Sabres logo is definitely on each side! Incredible, an internet team logo just broke into the NHL. And the Sabres are showing off a good new logo 9 games into the season. What kind of Slabyk logo is it? Is it really a customized logo, or is it just an updated crossed swords/Buffalo logo (from our throwbacks). Because in all honesty, it could just be a stylized crossed swords logo and that doesn't neccessarily mean they got it from Slabyk. But if it is one of the actual different logos, then I guess there's some validity to that.

I thought the mask looked really sharp all around.

Definitely not just any update of the old logo. Those are distinct Slabyk logos.

Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Here is the other logo on the helmet: I think this one was on the left cheek with the other one (already posted) on the right side.
Bmwolf21 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Weasel, it looked to me like this one. EDIT: Damn you, Silver...beat me to it... :P
Screamin'Weasel Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Weasel, it looked to me like this one. Yeah, the more I look, I think you are right. The only "known for sure" is the bison head is there.
BetweenThePipes00 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Leave it to Marty to stir this up again! I loved the fact that he put the old logo on the chin of his old mask, and I think I saw it kind of faded into the background of this one too. He's the last guy left who wore it the first time around.
FogBat Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Weasel, it looked to me like this one. EDIT: Damn you, Silver...beat me to it... :P I'd like to see that for a third jersey someday.
Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Yeah, the more I look, I think you are right. The only "known for sure" is the bison head is there. It was both. He had a different version on each side. One with the crossed swords pointing up and another with the crossed swords pointing down.
SDS Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 It was both. He had a different version on each side. One with the crossed swords pointing up and another with the crossed swords pointing down. I'm pretty sure that naked chick on the back of the helmet was Mandy because I recognize the birthmark.
Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I'm pretty sure that naked chick on the back of the helmet was Mandy because I recognize the birthmark. There's no need for you to pretend you're into Mandy. Everyone here is cool with you being into the 4'10" (on skates) girls like Sasha Cohen......
SDS Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 There's no need for you to pretend you're into Mandy. Everyone here is cool with you being into the 4'10" (on skates) girls like Sasha Cohen...... she leg presses 400lbs and could kick your ass!
FogBat Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 she leg presses 400lbs and could kick your ass! Too bad she didn't bring home Gold in Torino.
Robviously Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 Here is a screen capture of Marty's new helmet: Link I just noticed one of Slabyk's "SABRES" wordmarks is also under the left chin.
TM8-PL16 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Posted October 24, 2006 I'm sure he paid Slaybak to use the logos... or at least asked permission... how cool is that?!?!?!?!?! I know JS is a member here (humanot) but he posted the following message on a sports logo message board I belong to and wanted to share.... again below is a post from John Slaybak "hey everyone ... just wanted to let you all know that Marty did ask permission for use of the logo as well as permission for a few others to use (the wordmark on there is mine as well). Its definitely an honor to see it on the ice, and I wanted to really brand it nicely and see how the organization reacts knowing that the players are behind this look and prefer something like this ... this being something non-slug. I actually offered to design the entire mask, which he was excited about. However, with timing needed to send it out to the airbrush artist he wanted to use, and my work schedule and I had literally NO time there to get a design done for him. I'm still talking with him about using a couple designs I'm working on for the mask ... I'd love to give him a phenomonal mask without the slug, but we'll see what happens. If it all comes through and I get something to him that will get made, I'll let you guys all know."
