jkrdevil Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 SWEET RETRO PADS!!! those look great...the holes on the "waffle" are a nice touch.No not retro pads. If they were retro style pads they wouldn't be so tall and stiff that they cover the 5 hole when the goalie drops into the butterfly. They are a brown version of a goalie pad type that needs to be banned from the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well I'm not sure I'm 100% excited about the modern number font on the retro jersey. It's not so modern and a space age font that it's a deal breaker, but a more original classic font would have been cooler to my eye.agreed...it's a mish mash of every Sabres uni from 1970 - 1995, couldn't they just pick a year and go with it and get is accurate as possible, jeesh.Reebok/CCM seems to often treat throwback jersey elements as clip art with a careless regard for accuracy concerning what specific elements did or did not actually live on the same jersey at the same time. It really doesn't surprise me at all that there would be inconsistencies.By the way, you are going with me to watch the game with my friends and I'm not taking no for an answer either. I'll be by at 10:45 AM to pick you up.Tim Horton approves1000 Bonus Points for historical knowledge and finding illustrative images too. Well played, sir. Notice the misspelled "Pittsburg" on this OFFICIAL release.....Hey, maybe they're fans of Honus Wagner....And 206 bonus points for you as well for your T-206 reference.

Neon_Matrix Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yea the replicas for sale only come in the classic cut and materials, but the players will be wearing the Edge versions of these during the games.This is true:Notice collar and stiching, edge indeed.I had not seen that pic yet.

Sport Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The red line is starred in Nationwide arena. This is the first I've of heard of that, and I can't imagine that it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis10 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Why is the red line dashed again? I thought they made it solid when they got rid of 2-line passes....Rule 5c is still on the books:There shall also be a line, twelve inches (12") in width and red in color, drawn completely across the rink in center ice, parallel with the goal lines and continued vertically up the side of the boards, known as the "CENTER LINE". This line shall contain regular interval markings of a uniform distinctive design, which will readily distinguish it from the two blue lines... the outer edges of which must be continuous. (Paint code PMS 186)My understanding is that the pattern on the red line is in part to help players or officials who are colour-blind; the shade of blue used for the blue lines has a heavy green component, and it would be plausible that a red-green colour-blind player might have trouble immediately distinguishing the lines. Since the red line is still used for icing purposes, it's still an important consideration.We should start a separate thread with interesting red-line designs though...

eSabre Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Where are the Sabres putting the Classic patch? The numbers go there.No front numbers. Patch is in the same place on the Sabres jerseys.Another interesting note: The back numbers are going to be slightly larger than usual for better visibility.

eSabre Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Another detail worth mentionning is that the stripes will curve to follow the rounded cut at the waist.Not on the Sabres jerseys. No curve. And they are the EDGE cut, but the front and sleeves are made of the old material. The back is the new mesh (which the Sabres had on their home & aways last year as well), but that other "new" fabric is no longer there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll second that motiongiggityPffft, why not just go for a break-away and score in her five-hole? Not too confident in your stick handling abilites, are you? Has there actually been ANY real proof that the Sabres are going to be putting numbers on the front of their jersey for this game?
