  1. I'm hearing conflicting reports the arena store is sold out Adidas 50th jerseys. I know a couple local stores have them and quantities online are slim at NHL shop, cool hockey and ice jerseys.  Anyone go to the game last night and can clarify?

    retail authentics and game worn jerseys were basically the same. Same shape and weight while both were made in Canada.

    TheI Indo-Edge was Reeboks retail authentic made in Indonesia, not Canada , starting in 2011. They had the lime green neck tape on the inside.

    The rumor is it’s an Adidas Decision and the replicas are the only ones they will stock going forward 

    False, that's not how things work. If they run out, then that's on the Sabres Store for not buying enough of them. A company would never withhold product if they have extra inventory. They only make as many jerseys as they have orders for from all their accounts. If the Sabres Store only ordered 100 jerseys, then that's all they get. 

    The buyer for the Sabres Store may have under estimated the response and demand to the 50th. It's been the same guy running it forever, so you'd think he'd know by now that these things blow out.

    Why does he have black pants on?

    On April 6 2003, the Sabres wore the classic blue/gold against the Devils in the final home game of the season.

    The players were not aware of it until they came back into the dressing room after warm ups. So when they skated back out wearing the jersey and socks the place erupted.

  5. That has to be one of the laziest sites I’ve ever seen. Logos are crooked or off centered. When they put them on hoodies they don’t even bother masking off the laces, they just plunk it overtop. Lazy design work and dont get me started on the kids “designing” things. SMH

    If you want to run a top notch organization, then everything needs to be attended too across the board.  No matter how small, attention to detail. This a good example of mediocrity wins, “it’s good enough” mentality.

    Not exactly.  The Goatheads & the Butter knives are both on the ribbon liner.  But the Butter knives aren't on the new graphic.

    crap you're right - I was thinking they left it off.  No I am confused - no consistency

    The guy who does all this was in my class in highschool and his first project was the slug. He showed it to me before it was revealed and all I remember saying to him was "what is that and where are the legs"?! I was so pissed off and told him I thought it was awful.

    I can only pray that the royal blue is not some new creation but time after time, they have totally screwed it up. They will get the money grab with the 3rd jersey this year and then do it all over again next year with the royal blue

     

     This is the designer of the Slug

  8. I don't see the confusion, they've only had 4 primary logos in their 50 yr history, that's all their referencing. Matches with the inside trim of the caps seen at the Sabres Store.
    You could argue that the original and the current are the same logo, with a lot of extra silver outlines. The Butterknives was only a 3rd jersey logo. You can make a case for it being a 5th logo but honestly, it's semantics.  I don't think they're trying to define each decade, so it makes sense to me.
