Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 The Buffalo Sabres have unveiled new third jerseys on twitter today, with the help of Steve Ott. Trying something new, the Sabres have a jersey that has different colors for the front and back (yellow front, blue back), a first for the NHL.And GOD are they awful. Kudos for trying something new, but these are possibly the worst new jersey revealed this summer, and that's including the Team USA sweaters...Greg "Puck Daddy" Wyshynski is apparently not a fan either... These look like warm-up jerseys for an indoor lacrosse team. The “Buffalo” font is terrible. The two different types of yellow are terrible. The gray inside the number that doesn’t carry over to the name plate is terrible. The gray on the arms, making it look like the player dipped his sleeves in wet cement ...terrible. And, sorry, is that some kind of lapel they’ve built in around the NHL logo on the neckline? Is Steve Ott going to skate out wearing an ascot? Or perhaps a fancy broach?If nothing else, this jersey disproves our theory that you can put the Sabres logo on anything and it’s automatically awesome. Don’t tell us we have to rethink Sriracha too.It also leads us to assume that team president Ted Black moved the guy who did the Ville Leino contract over to the Sabres’ uniform development department, based on these results. Ouch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 The buffalo in the logo looks like it got drunk and fell over, or like it's falling out of the sky and is going to land on the sabres. I don't mind the back of the jersey at all, but it seems like whoever was creating it took a s*** and died before making his way to the front thus leaving the rest of the jersey to be finished by his 11 year old niece. No offense to 11 year old girls, most of whom could probably design a better jersey. 3 GMRwings1983, 13dangledangle and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) - The suck is strong with this one, yes. - The triangular v-neck collar dealy screams NFL to me, I don't know why. - Saddest thing about this? It'll be the highlight of the Sabres' season. Edited September 4, 2013 by Dabura 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted September 4, 2013 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This franchise had amazing jerseys, and then completely changed their design to something worse. First, they went to the "retarded" Sabres logo, for those black, white and red jerseys. You know, the one with the crooked neck. Then, they got even worse but introducing the Buffalo slug (albeit with the original team colors). Recently, they've brought back their original jersey as a 3rd jersey, so maybe it's heading in the right direction. It's just sad that changing something good to something crappy actually prompts people to go out and buy new jerseys, because that's what's driving all these changes in the first place. These might be the ugliest NHL jerseys I've ever seen. Not helped by the fact that Steve Ott is modeling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted September 5, 2013 Just amazing. Hockey sweaters in general are by far the best jersey types in all of professional sports.
