I know it makes more sense but it still doesn't mean it's correct. And to the contrary I was finally sold on them watching them in action last night.

philly97flyer Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The fact that noone on their opening night is wearing their reverse retro is peak NHL. They couldn’t market their way out of a wet paper bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are games that are likely to get the most attention all regular season. Why not use them to help market your newest looks?

It's always been the normal road or home jerseys. Opening with a look you don't plan to use often is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about doing the most "Buffalo" thing they could do. It's pretty crazy when you think about it. Bills go with navy uniforms back in the days but add random royal piping with a cluster:censored: navy/royal helmet, current Bills uniforms with totally unnecessary navy trims, Sabres finally switching back to blue in 2006 but go with navy and the buffaslug, ditch these for a more traditional set in 2010 but add stupid front piping, grey trims and front numbers... Now they finally go back to royal but can't help themselves adding stupid white trim on their homes. You can't make this stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously comparing those gorgeous jerseys to the turds the Bills and Sabres were wearing in the late 2000s? Because of a couple white stripes that help the jersey feel more balanced?

chcarlson23 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I actually thought the Sabres looked great today. The white really stands out in a good way. It ties in nicely with the numbers. The Sabres new home sweater is actually lacking something around the shoulders. The top of the jersey feels a little bare. A yellow collar in any capacity would have filled the empty space, as would have a shoulder patch. I’d imagine the roads will look better because of the shoulder yoke.

These can't become their primaries, right? The Oilers' Twitter account changes to that whenever the team wears the alternates. And speaking of which, they wore them again tonight.

I'd rather see teams honour their regular look at the beginning of the season instead of starting off with some gimmicky uniforms to kick things off. And yes, I'd say 75% of the RR uniforms are a gimmick and don't look as good as the regular uniforms that teams' have spent years refining and evolving into. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about doing the most "Buffalo" thing they could do. Yep, I just watched the highlights of this game and all I could think was that the white lines reminded me of those pointless grey lines that they had. I don't think they really offer anything that the yellow striping by itself already offers. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

Simply pointing out the fact that Buffalo teams never seem to get it right/perfect since so long. Always at least a pointless detail for the sake of being "different".
