Would have been a great trilogy but The Scissors turned out to be worse than Godfather III 715806[/snapback] Also known as "Godfather III: The One with Incest"

The best part about the logo is listening to people call WGR and get increasingly angry trying to describe it. So far, today, I've heard that it is: a toupee a "friggin' squirrel" a "flying squirrel" a combover a mustard stain "half a logo" the wave from the old Marine Midland Arena logo Davey Crockett's hat "gay" lopsided Barney Rubble's hair (maybe the best) "barf" ...and the list goes on. If this could be a bigger disaster, I have no idea how right now.

Ebert is a douche. It's a very good movie. It needed more action, but when there was action (the airplane scene and later in the movie in Metropolis) it was incredible. A lot of the movie is this love triangle-square between Lois and Clark and Richard (Lois's fiancee) and Superman. Lex Luther and Kitty Kowalski were great.

I think that's exactly what they did. Good to know that all those years at art school didn't go to waste.

You know, honestly, this was the easiest job in the entire world. Go back to the original Sabres uniforms with some slight tweaks to update the look for the 21st century. I don't know, maybe alter the font for the names and numbers. Change the buffalo jumping through the swords a little bit. The golf equivalent is having to make a putt from 3 inches away. What the team may have done here is: Take what we didn't like about the current logo and amplify it by a factor of 100. NOT add the swords back into the logo. Create a football logo for a hockey team. Give the buffalo this weird lone ranger mask thing. Create a logo that looks less like a buffalo than any other logo in Buffalo sports history. The golf equivalent would be to attempt a 3 inch putt and end up smashing the ball about 150 yards past the hole. If the team is really so tone deaf that they thought this is what the fans were clamoring for, it really makes me skeptical about everything else they're going to do from here on out.

Err, yeah, nevermind the decades of blue and gold tradition and the fact that the fans still like those uniforms better.

Yeah, not sure how I feel about an S&M blindfolded buffalo.

That would explain the latest "leak." Nothing like the Celsuis Design package...and not nearly as good. He really would have no grounds for a lawsuit. Both his design and what the Sabres should do are based off the original logo the team had. This shouldn't be difficult but for some reason it looks like we may end up with a curvy yellow buffalo smeared on our uniforms.

Skeptical. This looks like someone took the latest descriptions from yesterday on sportslogos.net and whipped something up. It wouldn't take long to make this if you knew what you were doing with Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Why make the switch if the logo is just getting more and more stylized and further away from what it was? Two other problems: Why would the NHL slap "CONFIDENTIAL" over the logos if it needed to show them to venders/video game makers, etc.? Second, I had the impression that even the secondary logos would be all new. This, like yesterday's hoax, has a recolored version of our current secondary logo.

Uh huh. I'm sure Valerie Plame's secret identity was solid as long as she was getting her husband jobs he wasn't qualified to do so that he could write op-eds in the NYT that contradicted his own findings. I'm sure no one would have thought to look into how Joe Wilson got his jobs in Africa once it was clear he was lying. But, yeah, it's all Bush's fault she got found out. None of which explains why the NYT decided to throw AQ a bone a couple days ago.

You mean we shouldn't be proud of the NYT for leaking classified information about how the US is legally fighting Al Qaeda? Gosh, and here I thought helping terrorists would be worth it if it meant another Pulitzer. Oh, yeah, Bush Bad!

The Rock was a fun movie.

I think I had the toy too. I guess I was not a great judge of character, but then the movie came out when I was five so it's not my fault. I'm more excited about seeing Starscream than anyone else. I don't think seeing Jazz again would be too much to ask either. What would be excellent is seeing Ultra Magnus and Kup, and maybe the Dinobots, eventually. Oh, and the Decepticons that are all construction vehicles that combine into one giant Decepticon. Those guys kick ass and would make for a good Dinobot fight.

You can't believe people are excited over this? Over THIS? Just a reminder, "this" is: Giant robots. Shooting lasers at each other. Driving around. Shooting lasers at each other. The only way I could be more excited about this is if it was going to happen in real life.

It's possible, but unlikely. Logo dorks have been going nuts about the new Sabres for a while so it's probably just someone having fun. Here's what one of the insiders at sportslogos.net (also one of the people who called the car completely fake from minute one) said: Take it with a grain of salt, but there are people over there who know what they're talking about.

And I'm an idiot. D'Oh!

Starting to think this is a false alarm. The logo is just a re-colored alternate logo that we have now with a black buffalo superimposed on it now. And it would be easy to slap those logos onto a St. Louis Rams toy car. The NHL logo on top looks a little off (photoshopped?) too.

Giant robots. Shooting lasers at each other. Driving around. Shooting lasers at each other. Listen, if this movie sucks, they should just stop making movies entirely. If they can't make a good movie about giant robots changing into stuff and shooting each other with lasers, then let's just close down Hollywood and start reading books.

I love that in my life I've met a lot of people who know who Rodimus Prime is and also that I've never met anyone who likes him at all.

The gold is obviously going to be much shinier on the actual uniforms. I don't think could reproduce that for a little toy car. So I'm not worried about the dull mustard color on the car now. It's the black buffalo that's bugging me at the moment. I guess it's a nod to the black and red years (?).

Here's a better link: Sabre Car

Brad Riter just mentioned this on the radio and I found the picture they were talking about. Apparently Mattel is making little NHL cars for each team for next season. So we get to see what may be the new logo on the side of a little toy car. Hopefully the link works Link We may be the St. Louis Rams.

Two scenes that are supposedly in the script: 1. Megatron ripping a captured Autobot's "heart" out. 2. An Autobot gets his legs blown off but still crawls (with his hands) over to protect a human. If this is really the type of movie they're making, it's going to be friggin' incredible.

Larry Quinn said it near the start of last season. People at sportslogos.net who've seen the official NHL logos and colors guide (sent to merchandising companies and video game makers) have confirmed it (they were dead on with the Ducks months ago).

BTW, why do the new Ducks uniforms suck? 1. They don't have a logo. They have a wordmark. They told the designers to come up with something that screams "DUCKS" and what they came up with was the word "DUCKS." Thanks. 2. They went from original uniforms, that could never be confused with any other team, to asymmetrical versions of the Penguins uniforms. Oh, but not gold, bronze. 3. 95% of the jersey is white or black. How exciting. 4. The one interesting aspect of the uniform was adding a thin orange line to the jersey and socks. Why? Because it's "Orange County Orange." Unfortunately, the one instance where they were creative is so underused that you can't even see it without squinting and looking at the jersey from 2 feet away.
