NHL to use RBK unis

[steiny_ramone]

This just struck me, but if all teams are ditching their thirds next season, what was the point of the Sabres bringing back their classic for just one season? or are they planning on brining it back after they bring back the thirds? I know the Canucks are using their vintage for this season as a third but from what the rumours are, they are going back to the classic jersey for next season or something based on it.

$.

That, and the Sabres were trying to soften the initial blow of the Buffaslug by using a jersey and the logo the fans love.

This also just struck me, but if the Sabres did make the Cup finals, god forbid, where they gonna put the Cup finals badge that all teams get when they get there? there is the B logo on the shoulder, so it can't go there and those dumb numbers at the front where the badge would usually go. From what i saw on that Dallas uniform that is supposedly what it is going to look like, there are numbers on the home white on the front like the Sabres ones. It looks like Reebok is gonna do this to all teams and if that's the case what about All-Star patches, celebrations for the club, or the league wide ones the NHL does? (I am refering to the 75th year of the NHL in '92 and the 100th year of the Stanley cup in '93)

That's a good question.

How about right next to the numbers on the front. It'll be too busy but that's what they'll do anyway.

As I recall, in the 75th Anniversary season, the Rangers had to wear the patch next to the the captain C, on the right; logic dictates that it'd likely go there for the Sabres, if this happens.

Who would have thought pre-season that the Sabres would make the finals?

Nice - more needless Sabres bashing...

I'm not being cruel; who outside of Buffalo(or inside for that matter) predicted what we've seen so far? No one.

Maybe there was a little dig there, but it's all in fun.

Actually, most hockey "experts" I'm aware of predicted them to make it. TSN, Rogers Sportsnet, etc.

Didn't they play in the Conference finals last year? That should have been a sign.

Yeah, but so did the Flyers in 04. Gues what happened next.

If there wasn't a lockout year, maybe they would've gone further in 05?

As far as the original question here is concerned - anyone here remember the Garth Brooks charity patches the entire league wore sometime in January? The Sabres had that patch above the number on the front of the jersey. Leads me to believe a setup like that might be used in the event of a SCF patch.
