Let's see if anybody is interested in buying the new logo?
We'll get a little sample of how it may go down the end of Sept.
And let's say, the SLUG is between two swords like I've seen here before, and not just by itself.
Who's for change? And who's for the throwback logo?
I'm dead set on the original logo, you couldn't do anything to that SLUG that would look good to me.
What's your plans?
And if you're just waiting to see the new logo to make a decision, then you may buy it, so we'll count you for the SLUG.
Let's see where we're at, just on the board.

I'm waiting to see it... I have faith in our ownership, and I'd like to actually see what the new jersey looks like before I form any definite opinions on it....

Good question though, speaking of questions, let's see if anyone has any questions to ask in response to me saying:


You remind me of the babe...

i really dont mind the slug too much

i really wished they could have made it a variation of the previous sabre third jersey which i think is the best one out of all of them

I already know that I love the classic blue & gold, but I've adopted a "wait & see" approach as to whether or not I'll end up buying any of the new jerseys. I need to see the final jersey before I give my final verdict.

The slug logo WILL NOT have swords in it.

It will be the Slug, shooting over a fancy word mark that says "Sabres"

Yikes, It's kind of looking like 50/50 right now,
I'm surprised so many fans would give that SLUG a chance.
This worry's me a little, it means that stinking SLUG actually has a chance :down:
No matter what, I'm not spending a cent on that SLUG,
LONG LIVE the ORIGINAL LOGO!
GO SABRES!!!

I'm waiting to see what it looks like on a jersey. Let's just say that I have a pretty good reason to believe that the logo looks pretty sweet on the new wool caps. The colors look great.

We're not Michigan, and we're not the SLUGS!
I hope there's enough DIEHARD fans, that care about the SABRES, more than how pretty a SLUG looks on a Michigan jersey, to out sell the new one, and buy the
3rd jersey. Keep our heritage and legacy alive. BUY the 3rd!!!!!!

You think the new jersey is going to be ugly with the new Buffalo logo, well the 3rd jersey our original 1970's road jersey is uglier I hate the blue it looks like purple on TV. Also I have news for you if the Sabres keep winning like they have the people don't care what the jerseys look like they'll buy them. What is more important the team or some stupid logo:question:

So mr. "i have sources" how about you tell us more about this jersey.

Describe it completely and tell us how the jersey will look, possibly do it up on MS paint?

We love you. Thanks!

Is that okay with you? It's what I get from your reply.

Don't start defining "diehard" fans. I'm as diehard as they come, but when my team is going to sport an abomination of a logo, I get a little upset about it.
Lets see the Maple Leafs or the Canadiens change their logo (well change their logo in general) to something ridiculous and see the outcry there. Are they not diehards? You bet your ass they are. Theyre passionate about their team and their identity. Furthermore, in this day and age, I am forced to root for the laundry. Every year the players come and go, but the team remains.

When I see that "slug" I dont' even see a Buffalo. Bison are not yellow, don't have racoon eyes, and have legs. The logo itself is just so flawed. The jersey can be the sweetest thing ever, but with the slug on it, I will not buy it. I'm embarrassed by it. Real or not, those new hat leaks look horrendous with that logo on it. Put the slug side by side with say, the redwings, montreal, or the blackhawks logo. Then, try to contain your laughter at our new logo. Its a joke.

I'm not 100% for the original logo. The change to the goat was a needed one. If the Sabres came up with something that was decent, represented the team's history and colors, I'd have no problem with a uniform/logo change. My stance, on this board and others, is that if this Buffalo, slug, skunk, racoon, whatever it is, is our logo, then I'd rather keep the goathead.

I guess I will have to wait and see. But, you can put that slug on Angelina Jolie naked, and i'm sorry, I'm still not liking it. Larry Quinn has said there will be changes to the leaked logo and that there will be Sabres in the main logo. I highly doubt this since he's a piece of crap, but thats neither here nor there. I think what we have seen, is what we are getting.

And with that, I'll be buying the third uniform. :)

I have a hard enough time buying (which I don't) a team Jersey with a players name on it. I can show my support by wearing just a plain Jersey with BILLS on it or SABRES.

But seriously, I have always had a semi-hatred for the black & red era. What's even funnier is this love/hate thing for the "Buffaslug" is really no different than the debates that began when the unis changed at the beginning of the Rigass era.

That SLUG doesn't even compare to the black&red goat(I didn't think it looked like a goat) as a matter of fact, a white buffalo is good luck.
But that SLUG, it's embarrassing! It looks like something you'd kick around, and stomp on. Anyway, I'm true to the ORIGINAL, the new 3rd jersey ROCKS!
A BUFFALO and two SABRES, 'nuff said!

You'll get no argument from me there. :up:

The only problem now, though, is the retro/throwback jerseys I've had for what seems like ages won't be so "throwback" any longer. :(

They're good for ANY occasion now! :up:
And I'm hoping, the slug is going to tank so badly, they'll be going back to the original for good! I wouldn't mind an upgrade on the uniform, but that logo just say's it all, GO SABRES!:respect:
