Bertmega Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Disagree. Those fools up in the Flo release an ugly 3rd jersey weekly it seems. Are they still using the Donald Trump Hair jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 @radoran yuk Puck Daddy says it best! These look like warm-up jerseys for an indoor lacrosse team. The “Buffalo” font is terrible. The two different types of yellow are terrible. The gray inside the number that doesn’t carry over to the name plate is terrible. The gray on the arms, making it look like the player dipped his sleeves in wet cement ...terrible. And, sorry, is that some kind of lapel they’ve built in around the NHL logo on the neckline? Is Steve Ott going to skate out wearing an ascot? Or perhaps a fancy broach? The Sabres aren't yellow. The Predators are yellow. And you know what? Their jerseys don't suck. These? Could you imagine LaFontaine or Mogilny or Gilbert Perreault wearing these? If nothing else, this jersey disproves our theory that you can put the Sabres logo on anything and it’s automatically awesome. Don’t tell us we have to rethink Sriracha too. It also leads us to assume that team president Ted Black moved the guy who did the Ville Leino contract over to the Sabres’ uniform development department, based on these results.

radoran Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Disagree. Those fools up in the Flo release an ugly 3rd jersey weekly it seems. Are they still using the Donald Trump Hair jersey? I think the decision to remove the "Buffalo" script thirds was a mistake, but I'm not feeling the haters on this gold jersey. Hey, I mean, they need something to talk about in Buffalo, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalnut3133 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 What's wrong with using more blue? Did they run out of the material? The 'Buffalo' font looks like they put it on as an afterthought, using letters they got at an arts & crafts store. (But hey, what else can we do during off-season but criticize team jerseys?! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 @radoran I don't think they are perfect, but I don't hate them as much as others do. The more I look at them, the more I like them. Any Buffalo jersey minus the horrid slug is an upgrade. Not a huge fan of the font they used for Buffalo, but even that can grow on me over time. There was a bit to much yellow. I'd say, over time, people will warm up to them. I give them a 6 out of 10, with the chance to move up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey I like it. Looks sort of like the Kings old colors. We are going to look like big bumble bees ready to sting you. Edit: HF Removed Content Always trying to win friends and influence people? No need to get all defensive. Someone didn't like the jersey and you feel the need to go off on a tirade about the Sabres being as good as the Canucks? Put your analyst on danger money, baby From my news feed on teh Facebook, people in Buffalo seem to hate them A LOT more than our Canuck fan friend here. Maybe you can explain to them how the Sabres are really as good as the Sabres? @radoran I don't think they are perfect, but I don't hate them as much as others do.

There was a bit to much yellow. I'd say, over time, people will warm up to them. I give them a 6 out of 10, with the chance to move up a bit. That's about it. For a third jersey that will be worn - what? a dozen times? - it's not something to get all worked up over. I really wasn't expecting as much gold on them, but you are absolutely right - no Buffaslug improves things immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalnut3133 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 @Hockey Junkie My apologies HJ, I absolutely meant no disrespect to your 'team' at all...which is apart & separate from their jersey...one has nothing to do with the other. I guess you didn't catch my 'tongue-in-cheek' humour in my post, which was really meant to say, that for hockey fans to be judging a team jersey at all, it really must be the 'off-season'! You may have not known or forgotten that the very first post I created on this forum when I joined was an 'homage' to Buffalo Sabres' goalie from '89, Clint Malarchuk, & his horrific, near death on-ice injury. Since goalies are my fave position, It affected me deeply & I felt it was important enough to write up. I have also mentioned in another post that I'll always have a 'soft spot' for the Sabres. I don't 'dis' other teams or other players...why on earth would I?? After all, my team IS the Nucks! LOL. And I regularly dis & poke fun at my own team (and some of our past horrid uniforms!), anyone that knows me on this forum knows that...we don't take things so seriously, it's all in good fun. So no harm meant.....ok, dude? (I'm still cheering for the O's btw!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 @radoran Maybe If they made that front section of gold the same color as the grey on the sleeves and number letter in the back it wouldn't be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) instead of making a splash in free agency, Regier obviously spent all of his time this Spring and Summer designing the teams new jersey.Regier: "How many different shades of yellow can I use?"

radoran Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Well I honestly do not know how much cap room they have? http://www.capgeek.com/sabres/ About $10M And is there anyone out there worth spending alot of money on? I doubt it. UFAs: http://www.capgeek.com/free-agents/ Tim Connolly - tanned, rested and ready RFAs: http://www.capgeek.com/free-agents/?year_id=2013&team_id=-1&position_id=-1&fa_type_id=1 There's the "Cody Hodgson" that's supposed to be pretty good...
