apuszczalowski Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 You're kidding right? Just about every hockey fan I know lists Toronto's and/or Montreal's jerseys as two of the best in the league. Toronto's jersey is my personal favorite followed by the Flyers and these are two teams I absolutely hate. Personally, I love all the traditional looking jerseys ... Islanders, Flyers, Oilers. These jerseys echo tradition and excellence. The Coyotes did a great job with their new uniform as well. Bring back the Sabres old logo and modernizing the colors would have been just what the doctored order. Then you make your alternate jersey "more modern" ie Rangers third jersey. 769608[/snapback] No I'm not kidding, I have never heard anyone say that the Leafs or Canadians have the best uniforms in the league.

Lori Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The banana slug has been painted on center ice. The Horror I'm not 100% sure that's a real picture, but it looks like crap if it is. The slug is ramming his head into the word SABRES. Ugh. 769814[/snapback] What a lovely shade of yellow. Sabres fans have my sympathy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slug is ramming his head into the word SABRES. Ugh. 769814[/snapback] It pains me to see that God awful logo as a representation of our proud franchise. It has been discussed ad nauseum here and in other forums, but as have most people stated, I refuse to buy my daughter anything with that logo, it is such a shame that she became hooked on Buffalo hockey this spring. I will be looking to buy anything without that logo when I get up there next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Is it at all possible that the "sworded B" is the chest logo and the slug is the shoulder patch?! That I could possibly live with. Still, the slug needs legs. Give him legs, put him in a circle with two crossed swords underneath like the old logo, and you got yourself a deal. 769996[/snapback] But doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a slug in the first place?

SilverNRed Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 A poster named "cweibel" made a mockup of the new uniform based on all the gossip (as well as the hockey pants that have already leaked). Ugly. cweibel did a nice job putting all the rumors together so I wouldn't be too surprised if the uniform is close to this. Unfortunately, it's ugly as sin.

At dinner on Sunday, my dad and I decided to come up with all potential ways the uniforms would be "unique." Here is a partial list of what we came up with. -Each player will have a sash that reads SABRES or BUFFALO depending on whether the team is home or away. -The shoulders and helmets will have spikes. Think Legion of Doom from the old WWF. -Each player will have a cape. -Across each player's backside? The word "JUICY." (Don't worry, Larry Quinn came up with the idea of capes to cover this up since it's a little embarassing.) -Each Sabre will actually have a real sabre. The sword will be sheathed in a belt that each player will also have. So metal swords and belts are in! -No socks. None. -To help match the new logo, each player will wear a Zorro-like mask. Mysterious! -The uniforms will be completely biodegradable. This was a late addition to the overall look but was deemed necessary since there will be dozens of landfills full of the new uniforms in a few months after no one buys them.

And having nothing along the bottom and top of the uniform makes the players look like big white rectangles with arms. What the !@#$ were they thinking? The home jerseys are OK, I guess, but they're so busy. All the dumbasses who said we needed to see these things in context to "get" them need to apologize. I actually think the banana slug is worse now that I've seen it on a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
