Not sure about the powder blue, but the concept is absolutely awesome!!!

Hm, not sure if it works for the Sabres, but if the LA Tsunami ever expand into the hockey business, I think those would work great.

Keep their current colors. The design itself is killer though.

i like the design, but agree that the current colours need to stay.

also, the blue jersey, i think needs to have a different colour for the shoulders.

like if you use the current black/red/white/silver, have the shoulders red on a black jersey maybe.

maybe it would look bad, i'm not sure.

Feels like an LA Clippers concept I saw once. I have to say though that I love the contrast between the body and shoulders. The colors transition nicely between the two. My one comment might be (and this may be the template) that with the shoulders/arms the way they are and the hem, the body seems to be the smallest part of the jersey when it should dominate.

Love the colors. Striping is even cooler.

Well dunn.

Padres colors + Patriots numbers = Winner.

nice?

DAM !! lol nice concept, but i agree with everyone else the colours should stay, it would look cool , in the yellow, and blue, or their current colours they use now. But that design is wicked i cant get over it lol.

I actually really like the colors. It's a return to the blue and yellow theme, but updated and unique, so that it doesn't feel like a step back into the past.

My only suggestion would be to remove all white from the dark sweater.

Padres colors + Patriots numbers = Winner.

Padres colors yes (or at least close), but those aren't quite the Patriots numbers .

I like the concept RC. Looks really good.

As a Sabres fan, I really like that concept. The colors are very funky and cool, but I think a lot of other fans would be upset if they did that.

I'd be interested to see what they'd look like if the light blue was changed to silver and the yellow was changed to a more vibrant gold.

The light blue on the white jersey looks fine, but it seems odd on the dark jersey. It's a great concept. The jerseys are really nice.

D'oh. Good call. I suppose the concept still kicks eleventy billion kinds of ass.

I'm torn, RC...

Overall, I like the concept, and it's beautifully designed.

But the colors make me think San Diego. And San Diego does not make me think of Buffalo. Not even a little bit.

Since the Padres got these colors into the public conscience first, these colors will always have more of a SoCal beach feel to them. The San Diego Sabres could wear these, but I'd rather the Sabres stayed in Buffalo.

Maybe dumping that electric powder blue would be enough. That just doesn't say Buffalo to me IMO.

Very sharp, only change I would make would be to remove the circle around the swords from the dark jersey.

My favourite Sabres concept to date.

I'm a big fan of the logo (especially in those colours), and the striping is excellent.

As people have stated, the palette doesn't scream Buffalo, and is too far removed from the old colours to be traditionalist, but I'll be damned if they don't look *GOOD* like that.

[winters in buffalo]

I like the striping, but not the color.

I'll admit, I was afraid to even open the thread. I was half-expecting sword porn.
