Thorny Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Kruppstahl said: Someone please explain the generally accepted widespread love for "royal blue" with our uniforms. I find it to be cheesy and the deep navy blue is a much classier, longer lasting look. I agree it does tend to look too dark on TV, but that's a different matter entirely. Honestly, this is the biggest thing, to me. My navy blue Eichel jersey looks great hanging in my closet but I'm kinda tired of watching the Boston Bruins/Pittsburgh Steelers on most television Sabres broadcasts. Most of the time I'm looking at the jerseys is during the games so I'm ready for royal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I don't mean Seattle Seahawk highlighter bright, but we need to move away from the color schemes that may as well have been intended for black and white TVs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi2000 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Looks too much like St. Louis. I knda hope if they go back to royal that they add some 3rd color to give it some pop.. like some silver or red or something... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping gray as a secondary color when they switched back to blue and gold was the second worst decision the team made after that ugly slug logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who their CEO was, but he could be considered the Tim Murray of electronics. Sold off all their profitable divisions (they made a ton of different products) to focus on HDTV while the standards were still being developed and did not win that battle. Too bad. They did make good consumer electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time I'm looking at the jerseys is during the games so I'm ready for royal. It raises an interesting question. Should uniform color be prioritized for a good look on TV? Or should it be about how it looks in real life or in person at a game? I certainly see the uniforms a lot more on TV than in person! And I also watch most games on center ice, in low definition! A lot of games look like I am watching a VHS recording from 1987. Everything is pixelated and the dark blue uniforms look like a pitch black ink stain on the screen. Maybe we should try lighter hues of blue! 20 minutes ago, Taro T said: Zenith. Not sure who their CEO was, but he could be considered the Tim Murray of electronics.

It appears that they went ahead and tried to "pull off" the colour gold on a uniform. Historically tricky, that. Also: That's a lot of stripes. I guess it's 5 stripes for 5 decades?

PASabreFan Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Does the buffalo's eyes follow you? Is there an image hidden in there? Lenticular printing?

Considering what they've done recently, could've been a lot worse. Overall, the sweater is fine. Not a fan of the "textured" golden buffalo nor the golden sabers. Hopefully they look better in person if this is the real 50th. Also, would prefer Royal blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
