I don't hate it, it's just that when I see white with black stripes, I think "zebra", not "white tiger".

Tampa would also benefit from black jerseys, socks and helmets.

And now that they went blue over white in week 3 and lost that probably dooms us to mono-blue for the rest of the season.

I feel like Vegas got it right right out of the gate and that everything they've done since then has been a downgrade.

On Florida's jersey?

The Bills' worst combo is mono red. Mono blue is a close second.

I just checked and the Broncos did not play the Oilers/Titans at all in the regular season between 1995 and 2004. Just that one pre-season game in 1998. That seems crazy to me.

I would assume so.

When Reebok originally designed the Edge system they intended for the jerseys to be tucked in to the pants. That's why so many of the original Edge designs did not have hem stripes. When players began to test the new uniform system they learned that tucking jerseys in trapped too much heat, so that idea was (thankfully) quickly abandoned. Additionally, the materials used for the first version of the Edge uniforms trapped more moisture from sweat than the previous jerseys did, which lead to sweat pooling in players' gloves. About halfway through the '07-08 season they switched to a slightly different template, which was a little looser and more moisture-wicking.

I think it's because there's enough horizontal striping on most hockey uniforms to break up the color so you don't get the leotard-effect that you do with football uniforms.

Have they ever worn those with white pants?

While I agree with you there, I also believe that this: is MUCH BETTER than

The late Jim Kelley, a Sabres beat reporter in the '90s, first called the logo a '"demonic goat head" in an article about the opening of the Marine Midland Arena in 1996. The name stuck.

Wow. Never saw those before.

BTW, what in the hell is this monstrosity?

Don't know what size you're after, but there's a 2XL available on eBay right now. They want $235 for it though.

Especially for the Devils.

Hate squared-off shoulder yokes. In general, not just on those Caps jerseys.

The '05-'06 team is probably the most beloved team in Sabres history since the '74-'75 French Connection / Stanley Cup Finals team. MIller had his best individual year in navy and gold, but his best team wore black and red.

Obviously that's a big part of it, but as Buffalo sports fans even our best moments end in heartbreak, so we're still able to overlook that.

It was pretty popular in Buffalo. There was always a pretty vocal minority who insisted the Sabres belonged in blue and gold, but the majority of people here embraced the goathead while the Sabres wore them. It helped that the team was pretty likeable (Ted Nolan and the "Hardest Working Team in Hockey") and had a couple of deeper playoff runs around the time they switched.

The Sabres have finally officially announced the black and red 3rd jersey that has been rumored for some time. No design released yet, but a schedule has been posted. I'm a little disappointed that they're not going to wear this for Ryan Miller night, since this is a logo he wore for the first half of his Sabres career.

And got swept in their only Playoff appearance.

New band name. Calling it.

I've seen that as well, but that is based on an unnamed "reliable source" and a since-deleted Tweet. I'm not saying it's not going to happen, I'm just saying I haven't seen anything official from the team itself. Some "reliable source" may have said they're doing the goathead for next year, and they are as their RR. It's entirely possible whoever heard that and Tweeted it assumed that meant black and red when it was really the blue and gold RR they were talking about.
