The long awaited Sabres jerseys


Sabrejeff

Recommended Posts

Basically, I like the logo and the jersey....never had a problem with the logo in the first place.....and I was at the arena when it was unveiled and I love the jersey. Many people on here are saying they hate the logo and the jersey, but I don't think everyone feels the same way seeing how long the line was to the Sabres store. Quite frankly.....i'm pretty sure many people outside of the sabres fans like the jersey, we just have tons of wannabe critics on here...its sad and quite pathetic lol.

I think these are one of the best jerseys in the league now...and i'm not just saying that cause i'm a sabres fan. Its a sharp design...and for those who think these are done in a few years, you're smoking...it won't happen.

Then leave.

Just because he/she disagrees with you? Come on.

No, because he/she is obviously not happy with the atmosphere of this board. If so, then why would he/she continue to post here?

Well, frankly, the atmosphere on the board has gotten a bit nasty w/ all this Sabres stuff.

rightfully so. It's tough not to be when a professional sports organization is so stubborn to think that the garbarge they put out is the best thing since sliced bread. "Wait and see." We've waited, we've seen, it stinks.

It has, I agree, thanks to the fans of this new look, who call everyone who disagrees with them "logo snobs."

Don't try to jam your opion of the Sabres new look down our throats, and we won't respond in such a "nasty" manner.

I don't hate these, but I don't like them either.

I think it's going to make Sabres/Preds games excruciating to watch (although considering how few times they ever play each other, either team could wear their thirds in those games). At least the two teams can share pads, gloves, socks...

I'm not really sure what would rescue this jersey, but I don't like the Ice Pilots jerseys either, for what it's worth.

I never really followed hockey in the days of the Sabres blue and yellows, but those jerseys remind me of the Chiefs (of Slap Shot fame). But I'm of the opinion that the retros put the new stuff to shame.

Amazing how good a jersey can look if it's just a little more traditional.

I guess that's why I'm such a fan of the Coyotes whole look now (so good it hurts).

Why then do I like the Predators uniform so much? I don't know.

I'd like to clear something up. I started the 'logo snob' thing, but as I mentioned in my post I meant no offense. I know that often times when someone qualifies a statement by saying "no offense" it usually means someone is about to be offended, but I honestly meant no ill will. Looking back I wish I would have used different words. I have been a (mostly un-active) member of this board for years and I certainly wouldn't want to ignorantly label any of you (us?). This thread has gotten nasty and unfortunatley I feel I contributed to that. One observation is that some people that dislike the uniforms attack and ridicule people that say they like it. That's un-called for and un-funny. We are all entitled to our opinions and either way we shouldn't be mocked for it. I apologize to anyone that may have been put off by the whole 'logo snob' thing. It honestly was not meant as an insult.

Go Sabres!

These designs are here to stay. Jerseys were sold out within and hour and all of the new merchandise sold out today as well.

Hah. i do have to say thats pretty funny. I went to the pond first thing this morning because the new jerseys went on sale to the public for the first time as well today. I got there pretty early because I expected it to be PACKED. It was deader than a doornail all day long. Id be suprised if they sold 20 jerseys all day.

I think a bit of that has happened on both sides of this debate and hopefully both sides will cool down some. I thought I was being one of the more moderate folks that are fans of the new look (but that also quite like the original and red/black look), but if it came off otherwise, I apologize.

Legless logo aside, the jerseys themselves seem to have way, way, way too much attention paid to the arms and sides. Unfortunately, the sides are all too often covered up by the arms. I can't see for the life of me what they are trying to do or convey with the slashes, marks and stripey things on the arms. It doesn't look all that much like horns or sabre blades, just a bunch of busy-ness all coming together as, well, visual noise.

When viewed from the front, the body is just a large blank area with a big slug on it and some wacky sleeves that don't convey anything. With no waist striping, they just look like the new practice jerseys from last year. Yea, there's some colored stuff off to the sides there, but not much going on on the main "canvas" of the body.

As for the number font, meh. They could have at least italicized it to give it a sense of speed. Overall rating - D. I like the colors, but not much else.

On the bright side, it's still better than the Islanders Alt and the Thrashers light blues. :hockeysmiley:

I wouldn't mind these jerseys if they got rid of the side striping put striping on the bottom of the jersey and eliminated the numbers on the front.

I now understand how others felt about the fishsticks jersey of the Isles. I hated them because they were such a radical departure from what they had they made no sense to me. However, had they been designed for a fresh expansion team they would have been nice. I figure Sabres fans feel the same way. Hopefully these are a transition to a recolored original uni.

What does Albert Pujols think of these new Buffalo jerseys?

This I'm tired of. I never found it funny, but I understand how it was done in good jest a couple times. I don't care what jest it's done in now though, it's not funny, and I'm tired of reading it. This is at least the second, maybe the third, time I've asked that you stop this. I'd appreciate if you'd listen.

You think I'm a homer fine. Use legitimate points to say so, not stupid sarcasm, and certainly don't do it when it has ZERO relevance to the thread.

I don't think anyone mentioned this yet, but apparently Teppo Numminen has complained that the dark sleeves on the road jersey could lead to turnovers.

It's true, but I think it may work in their favour...

Well, let me just say, that if these jerseys get scrapped after a year or so, I'll be the first in line at the discount store to pick one up. I kinda like 'em.

There. I said it. I LIKE these jerseys. B)
