Claude_Verret Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I believe that they will indeed be unveild today. This is simply an attempt to get this thing out there before the anti-slug movement gains any more momentum. Keep up the fight. The slug must go!

mrjsbu96 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I find it hard to believe they have added yet another color in the form of light blue. Per the leaked logo sheet, there are already alot of colors listed: PMS Blue 282 PMS Yellow 1235 PMS Silver 430 PMS Metallic Silver 877 PMS Red 186 Color Chart I Made (Please note colors will vary from moniter to moniter - printing it may be the best way to view them.) The color chart I made using the hexidecimal codes I found on Pantone's color conversion chart. I made this to get the colors as close as possible to realistic seeing as the leaked logo posted online could be not the best representation of the colors listed on the bottom of it. Now if the stripe referred to SabresFanInTexas's post was one of the silvers rather than light blue, I'd believe it. Edit: Sorry, just saw your edit after I posted this. dude - you just submitted a color chart! Don't get me wrong, am I just as much involved with what will happen with this jersey thing, but patent websites, color charts.....imagine if we could accomplish what may potentially happen this afternoon at 4pm as we could in Buffalo politics!

DevilsAlum Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 FYI, As of this afternoon, even the lower level Sabres employees do not know what is going to happen. I don't mean janitors, but people in the adminstrative offices. It appears that whatever the Sabres have planned is pretty hush hush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disaapointed in the gold color looking orange and heard that quite a bit, so I just looked up the official Pantone colors to see what they actually looked like. I made the chart to show people it was less orange than it looked. I have no problem, personally, with the color choices at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesportsbuff Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 is it going to be telvised or on the radio or what I'd imagine WGR550 would have it on radio. I doubt TV. I'm excited to watch it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 i live in rochester, but i've read on other forums that the conference will be shown on either channel 2 or 7 in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamin'Weasel Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Have a question for Larry Quinn regarding this topic? He will be on Channel 2 News at 6pm and they are accepting email questions. I assume this means they will probably air the press conference live as well.

Wild Jay Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I just recieved word from a friend that old blue and gold jersey will be 3rd jersey for 15 games this year. I've heard this rumor as well in the last month. But my question is will be it be our old away solid blue jersey or the old home white jersey? My bet would be since most if not all 3rd jerseys are colored now, that it's the solid blue jersey. Honestly I thought that one was pretty lame and much more dated than the white B&G jersey. So I hope that it's a spruced up version (but I'm sure it won't be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, all alternates have to be dark colored now; the NHL used the dark 3rd jerseys as the reason to switch the home/road colors. Teams can use their regular dark home or dark 3rd jersey, while the visiting team needs only bring their white uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
