That is why I wouldn't mind a royal blue goathead lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that they may come out with new stuff this year and then go ahead a replace it a year later but I guess that's Pegula's new version of drilling another gas well now.

The 50th anniversary stuff is going to a one year only thing. Supposedly all white special 3rd. White sweater, white shorts, white gloves, all white. It’s not really crazy or surprising that it’s for one year only, considering it’s a special 50th anniversary thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a money grab though. I understand celebrating a 50th year anniversary, but if they change the uniforms again after that it's kind of ridiculous.

People can choose to spend, or not spend, their money however they choose though. If it’s profitable, I guess that means they are giving the people what they want. If they didn’t think people would buy it, they wouldn’t be selling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's their sole purpose for existence. This one really isn't a case of introducing new stuff and then immediately replacing it though. They're more than likely going to wear everything over the course of the year. I'm not really sure what the need is for this specific jersey, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it stick around as a 3rd if/when they go back to royal blue the following season.

josie Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 The more I see it the more I dislike it. Too bad. I'm just not a fan of gold + white. It just screams 80s brass'n'glass interior design, tacky nouveau wealth, a jewelry store's interior, Salvatores. Pop a fake plastic fern or two behind it and bam. aesthetic. Personal preference. I guess I also have never been a fan of wearing white jerseys- I have a few of course, but I'll always take the home colors. More slimming haha That adidas graphic just looks like the long baggy white tshirts wannabe skater dudes wore under their short sleeved tshirts (from Volcom or Hurley) with a good puka shell or metal ball necklace in the late 90s early 2000s. Bowl cut or frosted tips mandatory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallawaySabres Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 The winter classic jersey is the only one i came close to liking....and that's because the NHL did it, not the idiots in the Sabres graphic dept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I’m mostly looking forward to white gloves. I love white gloves. Vegas’ look is awesome I wish the sword blades were white and the Buffalo had the red eye.

CallawaySabres Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I mean, the whole color scheme is soooo dull. White with cat piss and dull blue. At least they could have used royal for just a little pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but they put that stupid NY on it. Also, did you really not like the Pepsi-style sweaters? I think they're as good as any the team ever has had.

Thought he was referring to the one from the game where Spacek was the home team captain, not the one from the abomination of a game where the home team played 7 hours away from home. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the NY, the Sabres did not want that on the Winter Classic, but the NHL insisted saying it would give the image of a rivalry.

Oops, I mean this: It's not hard, but, honest to God, they've been toying with the fans since 2003! Final home of 2002-03, after OSP bought the team, they skated out in the old blue and gold. Sixteen years! The pent-up demand is so enormous, Terry will become a billionaire all over again — in 2020. We want 17 (years)! I'm not sure what's more criminal, taking this long to make a simple sweater change or taking this long to make the playoffs again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
