sportstar1212 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I have a strong feeling that this jersey is going to be an absolute trainwreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah there's no way this Sabres jersey isn't a disaster. Why is that franchise so tone deaf when it comes to their uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah there's no way this Sabres jersey isn't a disaster.We haven't even seen the Hurricanes new look yet. Let's wait until we get a full picture and then if it's a derivative piece of crap then we can jump all over it. As of right now, you're freaking out over something you might not need to freak out over. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the SJS get rid of theirs with their new jerseys, they'll be the only team left with them.Those jerseys were thoroughly awful, only made worse with every single junior team insisting on using that template, and none of it looking like a hockey jersey. Keep in mind, this jersey started the backlash to throwback jerseys that we're currently experiencing, it was that bad. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Kevin W. Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Those jerseys would have been somewhat passable if they got rid of the "horns," the front number and the Buffaslug. Then they'd be an improvement on that God-awful template the Senators and Penguins have right now.

habsfan1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Updating what we know...the question is whether it's a stripe or the ending of the sleeve...and of course we know nothing about the hemlineIn the top-left and middle-right images, there's sewing marks in the blue areas alligned exactly where the edge of that long silver stripe begins. In your concept, there's a single blue arm stripe, not separated by anything. Man, these teasers are annoying the outta me!(Sorry for a lack of better wording, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm not sure I understand what you're saying (other than how annoying this all is, because I'm baffled), so please, elaborate, and include your own diagrams if you can I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

CS85 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If that's accurate, it looks somewhat like a cape. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board. You are not entertaining, you are a complete joke." twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Not sure I like the "cape-effect" (if that's where all of this is in fact going). But I guess that avoids them becoming a Nashville clone. But, why does it seem that the Sabres and Islanders (two teams with beautiful uniforms in their early years) are in a race to see who can ruin their identity first? Oh, and shameless plug for my first jersey related post to be featured on a blog:http://unionandblue.com/2013/07/19/ranking-the-columbus-blue-jackets-jerseys/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eww7633 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Dear God, what a disaster. What is wrong with the Sabres/Reebok? Why can't they just make something appealing? Don't they realize that people will buy more of a jersey that isn't an absolute abomination? Maybe they could make a classic, but nope, they'll just make crap that everyone will hate and will be forced to get rid of it in a few years. Speaking of, have the Islanders ditched that black monstrosity yet? Almost the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Here it is: My take on the Sabres jersey.It has that same NOLA Mardi Gras feel. I think we'll see more retro-inspired designs in the future. Yiiiiiikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Sabres should just blow everyone's minds and come out with the jersey above but with a yellow helmet. Would love to see that again. What was the last team to wear yellow helmets? The Penguins in the 80's? Kings pre-Gretzky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I have no doubt they will be pitiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
