All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

[im4bflo]

I hate to see this stupid thing split the fan base.
Now we've got the 3rd jersey fans who will not wear that SLUG (ME)
and the fans who will.
It kind of kills the unity of being SABRE fans, doesn't it?
Damn that slug logo...
BUFFALO SABRES :respect:

[JD]

No, because in the end we are all fans and thats not going to change.

[im4bflo]

No, because in the end we are all fans and thats not going to change.
Yeah I know, but that damn slug is a wrench in the machinery.
I can't wait to see our SABRES hit the ice, but it's ice with a SLUG on it, NO SABRES! That's just not right, how could they have not learned after the goat head? I'm just a very logical person, and that just bugs me.
:respect: 3rd jersey BUFFALO SABRES:respect:

Stop parading that stupid smiley around. I already hated it because of its overuse from skate lol.

This is what management was thinking...

someone "You know boss, the logo has been leaked"
Larry "Oh ****"
someone "Yeah, and they're complaining about how it has no legs as well as the fact that there are no Sabres in the logo"
Larry "I got an idea, how about we put the actual word Sabres under the logo.. that way they have no reason to complain"
someone "Your a genius"
*Slurping sound*

That sounds about right. Do you think he came?

[im4bflo]

he sucked a slug right out of his boss, and said "that's our new logo!"

[Nighthawk]

If you would stop complaining and just accept it, then maybe the fans wouldn't be constantly bombarded by this garbage. Get over it, it's a logo! Support the team, even if they wear uniforms with pink polka-dots on them.

If you don't care about the logo that represents your team and town, then go wear pink polka-dots, and stay out of these threads.

I care about winning the Cup, not what uniform is being worn while we do it.

[Philagape]

I can tolerate the slug fans. They will be allowed to live.

[YardRat]

Winning will cure anything.

I'm not a fan of the new uni's at all, but it'd look pretty nice on the back of a player holding the Stanley Cup over his head at season's end.

This matters none... anyone remember Doug Flutie v. Rob Johnson? That pretty much killed me as a bills fan for a few years.

[blackonyx89]

Am I right or what? What do you think? Vancouver's logo's a little cooler, I think.

[chernobylwraiths]

That us uglier than ours.

As a side note. I heard an interview on GR yesterday (F U Freeman!) and Larry Quinn said that he asked the NHL if we could use our throwback white jersey's for a game with Vancouver. Vancouver asked the Sabres (and I think the NHL) if they could wear one of their classic black jerseys here when they come to play us. That would be four jerseys for us.

In addition, the whole uniforms are to change as I hear it. The NHL is supposed to go to some new body armour or something where the jersey's are to be tucked into the pants. The number that is now on the shoulder was going to be on the players pants at their thigh. So more uniform changes are to come on an NHL level.

[BuffaloRanger]

Yeah I know, because the colors are blue and yellow. But seriously, besides the look of the logo, doesn't the color disturb anyone? A yellow buffalo on the jerseys. The Buffalo is yellow!! How are there people that think it looks cool?

I'll be buying the classic Sabres Jersey and the old red alternate (with the bloddy sabres) on sale.

Don't waste your money on this jersey. So many fans are going to boycott it that the Sabres will be forced to switch it in less than two years (ala the islanders fishstick man). Then some fans will have an ugly jersey that isn't even worn anymore!

[JD]

what yellow buffalo?

:D

[im4bflo]

After seeing the whole package, I hate it even more.
Especially the white away's, UGLY!
And there's nothing but the slug on the chest, NO SABRES!
The only fans that will like this, are the young ones, who don't even know about the real blue&gold years.
After today, I'm giving my club their respect by wearing the 3rd jersey, and having to put up with a damn slug on our HOME ice.
EMBARRASSING!

[im4bflo]

Sorry, that was me, I took a piss on the SLUG.

[im4bflo]

If I can get my hands on a big 3rd logo patch, I'll buy the new jersey and get it sewn on, that looks cool!

[im4bflo]

I will be laughing at the people who buy that embarrassing uni.
the ORIGINALS look even better next to that piss colored buffaSLUG.
What a JOKE!

[WNYnut]

At least Vancouver's logo has some sort of cultural signifigance. The whale in their logo is somewhat representative of the whale often seen in Northwest Native American art and totems.

The new Buffalo on the Sabres uni is just ridiculous.

[im4bflo]

I know we're all SABRE fans "ra-ra"
but tell me this logo deal isn't putting a wedge between fans of the SLUG and the fans with a BRAIN :snicker2:
A piss YELLOW colored slug, yeah! how the hell can you think that's cool?

I gotta ask why this would "divide" the fans.


It's one thing if you back one goalie or another, or one QB or another. So when one ****s the bed, the other can gloat on how "right" he was- because that's the most important reason to pick a side instead of a team.


But clothing? Come on. Put them in clown outfits- if they win the Cup I could give a ****.

The goal is always the CUP no doubt.
But this logo represents our team our fans and our town.
And I've read from other fans like you, that they can wear dog **** or pink polka-dots, or dress like clowns(well they are now).
But it represents US, and to not care, doesn't make sense to me.
Go spend your money on that YELLOW slug, and don't mind the :snicker2: behind your back, because you don't care.
GO SABRES!!!

[Dozerdog]

I'm there to watch hockey- not shirts.


If simpletons are going to hate on fans because they like a logo or not..I'll laugh at them instead

Ummm, I don't know about you But the new logo is here to stay you should've seen the Sabres Store today it was jammed packed there was a line out to the main entrance and the new stuff was like gone in 15-20 minutes tops including the jerseys! The third jerseys look really, really how can I say this:question: well old :laughing: like they've been put away in a box and been stored in a closet gathering dust for the last 11 years 1995-2006 they just don't compare to the new jerseys. Attendance in a estimation I would say there was about 8,000 people at the Arena today to see the unveiling of the new jerseys and to watch the open scrimmage and there was no boo's either. Sabres kick-off their preseason schedule Mon. night @ Toronto radio coverage only and you can listen to it on live on WGR55

Like I said, there are the young fans who don't care about a teams tradition, and they were expecting 10,000 people, and got 8,000.
the 3rds look old, because they are. They started in 1970 and still look better than anything anyone else has come up with.
You piss YELLOW slug fans can spend your parents money on that crap, but I've still got my good OLD throwbacks, and am keeping the tradition until they go back to the OLD logo again, and I believe they will.
Hype is selling those slugs now, take a look at yourself wearing it, and you'll want your money back.

[Nighthawk]

LET IT GO! Buy your throwback and be happy...move on!

[JD]

The people who dont care about what the logo looks like is most likely a new fan, young fan or just someone who casually follows the team.

The logo doesnt just represent the team, it represents the city and its FANS. When you goto NHL.com, your not going to see the jersey next to "Buffalo Sabres".. your going to se the slug. On TV, can you imagine the slug on MSG? How would they make an opening video for each game. Make the slug zoom across the screen? Come on.

I do agree with moving from the past, but aside from not winning a cup..we dont have a bad past...

The Sabres throwback jerseys just look RIGHT. Nothing else does!! So I will buy my blue throwback with a smile on my face as soon as possible. And I frown upon those who buy any new paraphenilia(sp?).

But hey, GO SABRES!!

[Dozerdog]

:rofl: @ JD- Yeah- that's me - a casual fan since 1970



I want an updated version of the old jerseys.

But- I have the maturity level to watch the sport beyond what they are wearing. if you ladies are so worried about how they look- don't buy the threads or go to the games.


Jesus- it's a bunch of Carson Kressleys around here.

Weren't you the crybaby who wanted everyone to picket in front of HSBC last season to ***** about how horribly Darcy put the team together?


How did that work out for you and the 8 who showed up? Did the Sabres dismatle what they had to satisfy you?

You could make killer cash! Is the old school logo still copyrighted? Because if you could get it to an embroidery place they could probably make duplicates! The colors are a little different but I'm sure if you found a place like that they could change anything you want on it! :D

[Philagape]

Well at least four of us want a hybrid jersey, so whoever finds a place in WNY that can do it, let us know. Maybe Great Skate?

Don't count your slugs before they fall into a cup of beer and die. NHL History has shown that unpopular logos can be changed. Imagine the jeers when the "New Look" Sabres play in Toronto and Montreal!


The NY Islanders and the Fish Stick Saga

The New York Islanders, who've drawn jeers even from their own fans for their new "mariner" logo, are ditching it. LCS has learned through sources close to the situation that the Isles have gotten the OK to go back to the classic "NY Islanders" model for next season.


The logo change was part of a major uniform redesign that followed the 1994-95 season. Even before it was officially announced, the logo had drawn barbs from the media as well as a lot of Islander fans. Signs at the final home game last season proclaimed "We Are Not Fish" and urged the team to stay with its logo and color scheme, which dated to the club's inception in 1972.

But the change was made anyway. The remodeled color scheme, a darker blue with waves of orange, "Atlantic Green" and silver, went over well with a lot of fans, as did putting lighthouse patches (for the "Island" part of the team's nickname) on the shoulders. But the logo was a no-go; the mariner resembled the fisherman that adorns boxes of the Gorton's line of frozen fish sticks (hence the jeers).

The mariner's fate may have been sealed last Sunday when the Islanders lost 4-1 to the Rangers at the Nassau Coliseum. By the third period, any "Let's Go Islanders" cheers had long since been replaced with derisive chants of "Fish Sticks" from the largely pro-Ranger crowd.

This uniform will only last as long as that Stubborn moron Larry Quinn is with the Sabres.

They look like a Pee-Wee travel team that's trying too hard to have cool uniforms.

Will you SLUG lovers stubbornly stick with it, when we become laughing stocks?
Deep inside, you've got to know, that yellow thing is not US, we should all be excited by the new logo, not *****ing about "who cares what we look like", unless your mommy is still dressing you, you've got a choice!
the SLUG has got to go, and it will, and much more quickly, if you won't let them forcefeed a piss yellow slug on you.
Those pics of the new uni with the ORIGINAL logo that is on these threads, looks AWESOME! I'm planning on getting a patch of the 3rd original logo, and get it sewn over the slug, and so are other fans on this thread, if you've been reading them all. KILL the SLUG! We're the SABRES!:respect:

[Philagape]

Death to the slug.

Maybe those of us who remove the slugs from our jerseys can get together and hold a bonfire for them. Then it will join the Gorton's fisherman in Logo Hell.

Just as I thought.

I'm not crazy about the logo but I think the overall uniform looks good. Overall I'm pleased and I'm ready to talk about hockey and not what the players are wearing on the ice.

[Dude]

The Hurricanes' uniforms look like NASCAR pit crew firesuits. Guess what? They won the Cup. So what diff does it make?

All this whining about the logo is what's embarrassing, not the logo itself. If you don't like it - we get it already, so don't buy it.

Holy crap - let the season start already so we can concentrate on the TEAM and not what they're wearing. Unreal.

[ddaryl]

The uniforms are a slap in the face.

I will never own one.

[JD]

Ok. For all of you's who hate the logo but are ok with the jersey.

YOU PEOPLE are the reason this slug will stay around longer than it should. The SLUG will be on EVERYTHING, not the damn jersey! Hats, Flags, Sweaters, Pants, T-Shirts, Bandanas, Foam Fingers, Car stickers, Licenseplates, Tickets, OUR CENTER ICE, our jumbotron, every damn TV in the arena, jackets, socks, masks, glasses... when the only place it deserves to be is on a roll of toilet paper.

Don't embrace the jersey if you hate the logo, thats like thinking an ugly girl is beautiful because shes wearing a nice shirt.

And one more thing. Unlike women who tend to look better after a couple drinks, the slug STILL looks like ****!

[im4bflo]

Ok. For all of you's who hate the logo but are ok with the jersey.

YOU PEOPLE are the reason this slug will stay around longer than it should. The SLUG will be on EVERYTHING, not the damn jersey! Hats, Flags, Sweaters, Pants, T-Shirts, Bandanas, Foam Fingers, Car stickers, Licenseplates, Tickets, OUR CENTER ICE, our jumbotron, every damn TV in the arena, jackets, socks, masks, glasses... when the only place it deserves to be is on a roll of toilet paper.

Don't embrace the jersey if you hate the logo, thats like thinking an ugly girl is beautiful because shes wearing a nice shirt.

And one more thing. Unlike women who tend to look better after a couple drinks, the slug STILL looks like ****!
WHAT PART of this post, don't you slug lover's understand?
that piss yellow SLUG will represent us, if you let them forcefeed it to you.
If you don't LOVE it, don't buy it! They'll replace it with the original logo, and then our uni's will be the BADDEST thing on ice!

[im4bflo]

I think it could work for a baseball team.
Then put the original SABRES logo on the new uni's, and we can put this all behind us, what do you think?
"There's no SLUGS in Hockey!"

[Dozerdog]

Be a man and stop crying about it.

It's done.

Don't buy it if you don't like it.


Protest by not watching the games.


Enough is enough

'not watch the games'? man you've got me all wrong.
And it's not done, but it's going to take longer because of fans like you.
I'm not crying, I'm pissed, and so are a lot of diehard fans, who don't want a yellow slug representing Buffalo.
You go right ahead and wear that slug, and stop replying to the anti-slug threads, but I'm doing everything I can to get rid of that embarrassing logo that is quickly becoming a joke in the papers already.
I care, GO SABRES!

[Dozerdog]

I don't like the slug either- I felt the same way with the goat head.

I'll probably not buy it.

I'm not going to start a thread every 6 hours whining about it.

Go to HSBC with a protest sign. Maybe throw salt on those walking out of the gift shop

None of that crap will work, the only thing that will, is to not buy it.
That's the main thing I'm trying to pass around.
I actually read a comment from the Sabres office, that if the 3rd jersey outselled the slug, they'd probably go back to it. That was the fuel that got me going, there is a great chance we could get the 3rd logo(original) on the new uni's, which would look great, like the sig on some of the posters here, although that new white away jersey needs reworked totaly IMHO.
Notice how hard it is to get the 3rd, if it was out, it would outsell the slug.
At least hold off on buying the slug Doze, that thing will not last, I just know it.

[SkateZilla]

Again, Keep the Hatred and Whining to the Slug in ONE thread please....

[im4bflo]

On the SabresReport.com Forums, a fan as his avatar, put the SLUG over the Miami Dolfish logo, and OMG it was a perfect fit!
No wonder it's so hateable! To wear the slug, you might as well be wearing a fish jersey :roflmao:
Go there, go to Harbor Club, go to the thread 'Be healed! Out you devil', the second posters avatar 'Knightrider'. that's scary!

And as fans, instead of ignoring it, we can change it, IF we stuck together.
the white away slug jersey, will be the joke of the NHL.
If we don't like it, think of the other teams fans. Good luck to you slug clones, wearing that thing, you're even going to take crap from your own teams fans, and if that doesn't prove that things got to go, then you're just wearing your blinder's.

I don't think so, the jersey itself is boring, but at least the logo doesn't embarrass them like their old one, and our new one does.

[JD]

I liked their old one actually.

Naw, this slug is MUCH worse.
I didn't like the change in '99, but at least it was decent looking, and I've spent a lot of money on everything with the white buffalo head.
But I'll NEVER spend a hard earned penny on that embarrassing slug! EVER!
The only thing good about the slug is that it's saving me a hell of a lot of money.
Hey slug clones, I'll be in my retro blue&gold with $200 in my pocket from not buying a slug, and I won't be looking like Pred fan with an embarrassment on my chest. GO SABRES!

[Philagape]

The new Ducks jersey isn't too bad, but their black jerseys will look too dark on TV. The logo doesn't stand out.

That will NEVER happen, our only real logo that represents our BUFFALO SABRES, has only gotten worse, everytime they change it, and that slug is an embarrassment to our awesome new uniforms.
Only fans that don't care, the gullibles, and the bandwagoner's :bandwagon like that Slug. Put that slug logo on the ground, and I'll do burnout's on it, you can go for a bike ride. Thanks for the first illogical reply, have a safe New Year!

How about ignoring logo posts, like you may ignore other posts that don't interest you?! You keep replying with the same cry baby crap, you're no different than I am, the logo is a hockey discussion, just as good as seeing a Sabre in a bar, crying about how well you do in the picks. I can discuss the logo any time I want, I'm not breaking any TOS rules, but you may be, and the Dr. telling everyone to neg me, I could give a crap what :bandwagon 's do.
And a hell of a lot of fans do give a ****, you're totally wrong there.
Look in the mirror, you get over it, and quit :cry:

There's a lot of crappy logo's out there, so why did we have to join them?!
We've have the greatest logo ever since the 70's!
We start playing CUP winning hockey, and all the :bandwagon 's, some who I bet, don't even know we've had other logo's, the gullibles, to me, fans that just follow and wear whatever you throw them, and then, the fans that don't care.
They say things like" I don't care if they're wearing pink dresses", well I find that pretty illogical and stupid, not to care what represents you, your team, and your town. We've had steak, they changed it to hamburger when we left the Aud. and now they're serving dog food, and I'm not eating dog food, I like steak!
Original logo= steak SLUG= dog food

Great post! I still can't stand the ****ing slug. I'm actually going to be taking my Christmas money and going to buy an old white home jersey with the sweet looking logo in Ryan Miller. :drool: I won't spend money on any slug stuff! :mad: unless they win the Stanley Cup...then I will probably spend all of my paycheck on slug **** and Sabres champs stuff. :ontome:

Mike, when we WIN a STANLEY CUP, I'm hoping they sell Champion stuff with our original logo on it, but even I know then, I'll end up buying Champion stuff with the slug on it, but I've got a nice stash of original patch's I'm going to have my wife sew over it :up:
When we finally get to skate the CUP, I :pray: we're wearing our original logo jerseys, for all the Sabres that gave blood up to this year, and the fans!

I'm sorry if I'm coming across that way, but I can't believe we didn't all stick together, and get rid of that embarrassment. With the petition and everything going earlier, I thought we'd win and get rid of the slug, like the Isle fans got rid of the 'Fisherman'.
Then fans start trying to accept what they know sucks, because we're winning.
Add the bandwagoners, offer ONLY the slug merch, and everything went to hell.
I believe things can change, I read from someone in the SABRE orginization, that if the 3rd out sold the 'slug', that they'd go back to our original logo.
Then they only offered the slug, no other option, the :bandwagon 's wanted merch, so the slug appears to do well, I know, with a fair choice, we'd still have our real logo, instead of a yellow slug. I don't want to be 'preachy', I just care too much I guess. I can't accept that slug that's being force fed to us.
I pray it's not here to stay, and I'm trying not to bring it up, but when someone else does, I'm giving my :2cents: GO SABRES!

Girls think the new logo is cute.

Do you REALLY want your team represented by a cute cuddly slug??


I sure as hell do not.
Once again, those who love the slug or have no problem..are those who female or hopped on the bandwagon somehwhere around last year and talk as if the sabres were just created. No hardcore Sabres fans like the logo. If you were a big fan in the 70's and just casually watched the team since then..but started watching alot recently because of our success..you are not a hardcore-dedicated fan.. you are a fairweathered fan that needs to be shot in the face.

Thank you and have a nice day.

It is 100% true.
http://boards.ign.com/hockey/b5111/134085074/p1/

also there are also other teams that are going to be changing their jerseys and logo's according to this guy


People,my buddy works for the Montreal Canadiens in the merchandice store and I have actually seen some of the new jerseys.

Most teams are keeping their logos and colors.The Capitals are the only ones from what ive seen that are changeing their jersey to the old colors and old logo.

Toronto has very little change,Montreal will get rid of their strips and go to waves.St.Louis will have blue under there armpit.L.A will go back to there 1980's logo crown with gold and purple back in the jersey.Calgary is bringing back the yellow C on there red jersey with red pants now instead of black.

Out of all the 15 jerseys I did see,only St.Louis looks ugly.They still have the bluenote logo and still same colors.
Washington,Philly,L.A and Ottawa's road white jersey look nice.Dallas is the same just has stars under the armpits.



Because we have seen the designs for 15 NHL clubs .Buffalo and the Ducks are the first of the RBK jerseys.They are tight like the Nike jerseys the WC of hockey had.Right now the NHL players are useing the new sytle jerseys in practice just to get used to them and at the all-star game the NHL will show off what the jerseys will look like.


So it looks like Larry Quinn was right about everything!!! all :hail: Larry Quinn

[Philagape]

If it's true, just shows the only way to get rid of the old BETTER jerseys is by league mandate. When the Sabres had a choice, they wore them.

[JD]

So someone goto a practice, take pics.. I wanna see how they look..or are they the center-ice jerseys

Some people who don't mind the new logo have been fans since before you were born.

The idea that a "real fan" has to hate the logo is moronic.

[BlackMetalNinja]

I do not for the life of me understand you guys that think instant death should come to all who let the new logo grace their bodies...

Yes, we all understand you don't like the logo, I don't like the logo... Guess What... they aren't going to change it because YOU don't like it! The notion that I am less of a Sabres fan because I still support the team and like to show others that I support the team, even though they changed their look is nothing short of rediculous.

I'm not a "real fan" even though I've been watching this team for the past 20 years since I was a little kid simply because I choose to wear the current merchandise? Makes a load of sense really...

I understand im4bflo has been watching this team a lot longer than I, I can't help that he's older than me... but he's a better fan because of that? He's a better fan because he likes to complain about something that is out of his hands???

JD... you've got to be kidding me right. Fans that have been watching the team for the last 30 years should be shot in the face because the team is winning now and they have a new logo??? Come on man, you're just about the youngest one to post in here, that crap is rediculous.

I've made my point on this a thousand times and you guys are too blind to even respect it. We all get you don't like the logo, you've made it more than clear, but what logical sense is there in constantly bringing it up week in and week out.

If you feel you must discuss it so badly, I honestly urge you to go create your own forums for that exact purpose... you'll be in the company of all those that agree with you since that's what you seem to want so damn bad. I just really wish you'd stop polluting THIS forum with your narrow minded views.

It's not even so much that you bother me with bringing it up, it's that you completely disrespect anybody that has an opposite view point and then reduce yourselves to calling them names. Why can't you be like the rest of us and just say "hey, you know, that's your opinion, I disagree" and leave it at that???

The handful of you that won't ever get off this subject really do bring the rest of this forum down. It's not like there are a ton of choices out there to talk about the Sabres as it is and I generally like the people on this board and would prefer to discuss it with them, but you guys are making it damn near impossible to even read this forum anymore.

If you keep it up, I guess I'll have to add the rest of you to the ignore list along with Mr Diehard himself, im4bflo. It'll be great fun trying to make sense of every 3rd or 4th post that actually isn't existing simply to whine and complain.

[Philagape]

I don't like the logo, but I'm embarrassed by some of the people who agree with me. Get over it and grow up.

[DraftBoy]

I like the new logo, I suppose Im in the minority.

[GThirst]

Now, don't think I want you to get shot in the face if you like the slug logo or anything, but any true fan WITH SENSE OF TRADITION can not like the slug logo.

It completely undermines tradition. It does not look like a Buffalo. It does not have a sabre in it. We are not the Buffalo Buffalos, we are the Buffalo Sabres. Put a sword in it, and put a buffalo in it. It lacks both, and looks much more like a bannana slug or Barnie Rubbels hair. Its a forcefed logo that had a VERY negative reaction to when first introduced. As bad as the fishermen of the NYI? Maybe not. But at least the people in NYI had the mental capacity and will to not buy this garbage.

But last year, its not like you saw these slug wearing patrons wearing a black and red angry goat or a retro hat, shirt, or jersey. The Sabres one 10 straight to start the season, and people accepted it. How can you be displeased with a team thats breaking NHL records? Thats right, you can't be.

I can see people accepting the logo, the team is producing and the fanbase is growing. Its too late now too get the logo changed. But if the Sabres had been a losing team this year, I sincerely doubt the Slug would have sold much. The hardcores are the only ones who stood with the team up to last year and any Sabres fan who values tradition and non-generic design would not like this new logo. They would accept it though, since the team is "scary good".

And for the record I don't like the Black/Red Pissed off buffalo jerseys, they were generic and lame. I like the new jerseys over them, but not the logo.

You're wrong... I wore the "angry goat" red and black... just like I wore the original logo and colors before that... That's the point I'm trying to make. I support the team, I wear the gear. I want people to look at me and say, "Hey, he's a Buffalo Sabres fan". So you "diehard" fans that know so much and say there can only be one true logo don't wear anything that isn't at least 15 years old? IS that what you're telling me?

[Philagape]

I didn't love the black and red jerseys, but I have all three of them. Why? Because I love the team. Wearing a jersey is not about the jersey itself, but about the team.
I'm going to get the new jerseys once they're available again. I'd still like to have the old crest sewed on, but if that's not possible, so be it. I love the team more than I hate the jersey.
If someone hates the logo more than they love the team, then they have no right to get on anyone else about being a fan.

Thank goodness for a sensible person in this place. Thank you sir for illustrating exactly the point I've been trying to get across for months!

[Philagape]

I'll still slam the slug every now and then, but I respect those of inferior taste who disagree with me :D

[GThirst]

Of course, thats why I said:

The hardcores are the only ones who stood with the team up to last year and any Sabres fan who values tradition and non-generic design would not like this new logo. They would accept it though, since the team is "scary good". A real fan would accept it, but still be displeased with it. I too have black and red jerseys. Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I won't wear it. There was that bit of time when it seemed everyone hated it. So I figured, you know, people wouldn't buy it. But the team dominated so hard that you just had to support your team in all ways possible. Although, you could just buy old school stuff and that is still supporting the team.


Thank goodness for a sensible person in this place. Thank you sir for illustrating exactly the point I've been trying to get across for months! We all know this point. We all still love the team. We just hate the logo. Boycotting new jerseys doesn't hurt the team when you buy throwback stuff instead. Especially since anything that has to do with the Sabres is selling out anyway.

And lastly: Yea I like the jerseys (aside from the whole dark sleeves on away jerseys making no sense). Just the 'thing' on the front is bad.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

Now, don't think I want you to get shot in the face if you like the slug logo or anything, but any true fan WITH SENSE OF TRADITION can not like the slug logo.

It completely undermines tradition. It does not look like a Buffalo. It does not have a sabre in it. We are not the Buffalo Buffalos, we are the Buffalo Sabres. Put a sword in it, and put a buffalo in it. It lacks both, and looks much more like a bannana slug or Barnie Rubbels hair. Its a forcefed logo that had a VERY negative reaction to when first introduced. As bad as the fishermen of the NYI? Maybe not. But at least the people in NYI had the mental capacity and will to not buy this garbage.

But last year, its not like you saw these slug wearing patrons wearing a black and red angry goat or a retro hat, shirt, or jersey. The Sabres one 10 straight to start the season, and people accepted it. How can you be displeased with a team thats breaking NHL records? Thats right, you can't be.

I can see people accepting the logo, the team is producing and the fanbase is growing. Its too late now too get the logo changed. But if the Sabres had been a losing team this year, I sincerely doubt the Slug would have sold much. The hardcores are the only ones who stood with the team up to last year and any Sabres fan who values tradition and non-generic design would not like this new logo. They would accept it though, since the team is "scary good".

And for the record I don't like the Black/Red Pissed off buffalo jerseys, they were generic and lame. I like the new jerseys over them, but not the logo.

There are swords (sabres) on it they're just not what you think they are. But I get it it's the gray strip that goes from the bottom to over the shoulder and comes to a point in the back those are the swords (sabres). if you put the jersey on the floor flat with the arms spread straight out, or wear the jersey and hold your arms straight out you will see the gray strip that starts from the bottom and goes over the shoulder and comes to a point in the back those are the swords and there are swords on the shoulder their going through the "B"!

[im4bflo]

I think I might wear it to the next home game. My throwback shirt is running out of luck. :ill:

If we lose that game, you better burn it!

[im4bflo]

ONLY 7 MORE GAMES LEFT UNTIL THE ORIGINAL 1970 BLUE & GOLD JERSEY GOES BACK INTO STORAGE! :dance: the NHL is doing away with the 3rd jerseys for next year because of the new form fitting jerseys that the players will wear in the All-Star game.
And that will look real good on you :lmao:

[im4bflo]

Girls think the new logo is cute.

Do you REALLY want your team represented by a cute cuddly slug??


I sure as hell do not.
Once again, those who love the slug or have no problem..are those who female or hopped on the bandwagon somehwhere around last year and talk as if the sabres were just created. No hardcore Sabres fans like the logo. If you were a big fan in the 70's and just casually watched the team since then..but started watching alot recently because of our success..you are not a hardcore-dedicated fan.. you are a fairweathered fan that needs to be shot in the face.

Thank you and have a nice day.
X the slug.

Another PERFECT post! :bf1: :respect:

[im4bflo]

I do not for the life of me understand you guys that think instant death should come to all who let the new logo grace their bodies...

Yes, we all understand you don't like the logo, I don't like the logo... Guess What... they aren't going to change it because YOU don't like it! The notion that I am less of a Sabres fan because I still support the team and like to show others that I support the team, even though they changed their look is nothing short of rediculous.

I'm not a "real fan" even though I've been watching this team for the past 20 years since I was a little kid simply because I choose to wear the current merchandise? Makes a load of sense really...

I understand im4bflo has been watching this team a lot longer than I, I can't help that he's older than me... but he's a better fan because of that? He's a better fan because he likes to complain about something that is out of his hands???

JD... you've got to be kidding me right. Fans that have been watching the team for the last 30 years should be shot in the face because the team is winning now and they have a new logo??? Come on man, you're just about the youngest one to post in here, that crap is rediculous.

I've made my point on this a thousand times and you guys are too blind to even respect it. We all get you don't like the logo, you've made it more than clear, but what logical sense is there in constantly bringing it up week in and week out.

If you feel you must discuss it so badly, I honestly urge you to go create your own forums for that exact purpose... you'll be in the company of all those that agree with you since that's what you seem to want so damn bad. I just really wish you'd stop polluting THIS forum with your narrow minded views.

It's not even so much that you bother me with bringing it up, it's that you completely disrespect anybody that has an opposite view point and then reduce yourselves to calling them names. Why can't you be like the rest of us and just say "hey, you know, that's your opinion, I disagree" and leave it at that???

The handful of you that won't ever get off this subject really do bring the rest of this forum down. It's not like there are a ton of choices out there to talk about the Sabres as it is and I generally like the people on this board and would prefer to discuss it with them, but you guys are making it damn near impossible to even read this forum anymore.

If you keep it up, I guess I'll have to add the rest of you to the ignore list along with Mr Diehard himself, im4bflo. It'll be great fun trying to make sense of every 3rd or 4th post that actually isn't existing simply to whine and complain.

Hey ninj, all the above could have been downsized to :cry:
We who do not like the slug, havn't a chance to get rid of it, because of fans like you. At the beginning when it got leaked, how many who wear the slug now, signed the web petition to get rid of it? Only to turtle on the rest who's word is still good. Now you're telling us diehards to cave? That's for lesser or :bandwagon fans, sorry it bothers you. Wear your slug, maybe get one of those 'cute' pink ones, it looks good on you I'm sure.

[im4bflo]

Now, don't think I want you to get shot in the face if you like the slug logo or anything, but any true fan WITH SENSE OF TRADITION can not like the slug logo.

"" TRADITION "" Another PERFECT post!!! :bf1:
The tradition loving fans write such logical posts, and the sluglovers just ***** and moan.

[im4bflo]

You're wrong... I wore the "angry goat" red and black... just like I wore the original logo and colors before that... That's the point I'm trying to make. I support the team, I wear the gear. I want people to look at me and say, "Hey, he's a Buffalo Sabres fan". So you "diehard" fans that know so much and say there can only be one true logo don't wear anything that isn't at least 15 years old? IS that what you're telling me?

The 'angry goat' you call it, I thought it looked like a white buffalo head, was at least passable as a buffalo! But a slug does not represent our team in any way.
And if we stuck together, we could of gotten rid of it.
That is, until fans like you, and the :bandwagon er's got involved.
:respect:

That's what's embarrassing.

The slug can be very easily put down with rational discussion. There's no need for grade school silliness.

I've never put someone I substantially agree with on ignore, but the level of childishness I see here is pushing me toward it. Your posts are just plain creepy.

[im4bflo]

There are swords (sabres) on it they're just not what you think they are.

How many times do we have to say, we love the uni's, it's the damn slug that's the problem??? The SLUG is our logo! It's supposed to represent BUFFALO SABRES! But in what way, I wished you'd let us know! :whoosh:

You're right, I guess I'm losing respect for nowadays Buffalo fans.
I used to brag how diehard ALL Buffalo fans were, but this generation couldn't hold a candle to the fans of the BUFFALO BILLS and SABRES during the 70's and 80's. We wouldn't cave to this slug crap getting forced on us.
But you're all into your 'fantasy' football, that has actually had (so called)Bills fans, hoping someone scores on US, because the players on his fantasy team! I wanted to slap him! The Bills couldn't sellout, because they weren't in the playoffs, even though, we were playing much better. The Sabres are winning, so hop on :bandwagon and buy the only thing they'll offer, a slug! :laughing:
Yeah, I must sound 'nut's' to you young fans, but I'm just a DIEHARD, nothing to worry about. But when there's a lul in the Zone, the slug topic still rules!
So enjoy it!

[BlackMetalNinja]

You know what my favorite part of all this is??? Mr. Diehard fan for the past 30+ years over there doesn't even watch the damn games!

I moved out of market this year, and even though I'm only 24, and just married, and swimming in debt... I managed to scrape together $150 to get NHL Center Ice to watch my team all year. But I'm just a pretend fan because I'm young and too stupid to understand anything...

Diehard fans don't care about an illustration more than their team. Diehard fans love the team first.

Creepy.

I mean really, what's the definition of a fan? Is being a fan all about ME, ME, ME? Causing grief over a superficial issue? Is that loving a team? It's just loving yourself.

Or is it saying, I will sacrifice my aesthetic preferences, I will endure my meaningless distaste, to support the team I love. Isn't THAT a more devoted attitude? THAT's being a diehard.

X the slug.The small minority of you who truly feel this way, and who would actually wish physical harm on someone because they don't rue the day the Sabres changed their logo, have much deeper issues than simply not liking the picture on your chest.

Get a life.

I've been a fan since I knew what hockey was. Just because I don't despise the logo doesn't make me a bandwagon fan in the least bit.

Good post. :up:

I may bash the logo and ***** and moan about it here and there. But I still root like heck for the Sabres and don't want to beat up people who wear it. But I will say, I have never seen soo many ****ing bandwagon fans as I have lately. The Sabres gear is popping up all over Rochester. Ask them some questions about the team and they have no clue. Those are the people that piss me off and I'm sure piss im4bflo off. but oh well. There's nothing that can be done. I'm sure eventually I will cave too, especially if they get to the Stanley Cup and win it all. But for now, I'll keep buying tons of throwback stuff and wearing my tshirts and jerseys with the original best logo ever. :up:

Instead you have own feelings of self-importance and arrogance telling people who have fans for nearly 30 years that they are fair-weather fans or bandwagon fans because they don't hate a relativelt meaningless logog liek you do.

There really is no reason to discuss it further. I am ready to go to the Toronot game Thursday in either my Perreault classic throwback, my new logogT-shirt, my new logo sweatshirt and/or my goathead sweatshirt.

What about your damn question?

They changed the logo to a funny-shaped Buffalo head. They have a 'B' on the shoulders with a sword in it.

I am indifferent on the damn thing. I love the original. Hated the goathead, that was the wrong colors.

But I do know one thing: My feelings on a logo have little impact on what I think of the team

I guess some people watch sports for the athletic competition and to see one's favorite team win games, not to be some fashion designer *****ing about how the guys look in uniforms.

[SABuffalo786]

this is from www.nhluniforms.com



You're kidding, right?


Maybe it looks like a B in Arabic or Swahili or something like that, but in the King's English?

Don't be silly.



As far as the Slug goes, count me in as a hater.

We now have THREE, count them THREE different jersey designs (not including third jerseys) floating around the stands of the Arena on game nights. I wouldn't've minded keeping the Goat Head and then just changing it to blue and gold (I saw a baseball cap with a blue and gold Goat Head and thought it looked pretty sharp). But an entirely different new crest? Come on Quinn, do you have ADD or something?


If someone who had never heard of hockey before stepped into the Arena for let's say a Leaf game, I wouldn't blame him if he thought there was going to be a double header that night with so many different sweaters around him!

If changing sweaters every decade or so doesn't undermine any sense of tradition we have, I don't know what does.

[im4bflo]

You're kidding, right?


Maybe it looks like a B in Arabic or Swahili or something like that, but in the King's English?

Don't be silly.



As far as the Slug goes, count me in as a hater.

We now have THREE, count them THREE different jersey designs (not including third jerseys) floating around the stands of the Arena on game nights. I wouldn't've minded keeping the Goat Head and then just changing it to blue and gold (I saw a baseball cap with a blue and gold Goat Head and thought it looked pretty sharp). But an entirely different new crest? Come on Quinn, do you have ADD or something?


If someone who had never heard of hockey before stepped into the Arena for let's say a Leaf game, I wouldn't blame him if he thought there was going to be a double header that night with so many different sweaters around him!

If changing sweaters every decade or so doesn't undermine any sense of tradition we have, I don't know what does.

Right ****ing on!!!
This is DIEHARD compasion for tradition and the team!
Can you slugheads learn anything from a traditional logical fan?
We can't just accept ANYTHING they forcefeed us, we do have a voice, but you slugs are killing it for us!
What tradition do we have left, after the slug :bandwagon comes to town?
You join them, or you stick to your guns, out of HOW MANY different jerseys, have we any identity? We need to stick to the BEST one, and it's pretty damn obvious to me which one!
Be a puss, or a SABRE FAN!

[im4bflo]

So you're a "diehard" fan of the LOGO.

Congratulations. I've never met such an enthusiast for sports logos. I concede. You, sir, are the king. :hail:

Let me know when you want to talk about being a fan of the TEAM, because that's all I really care about.

BTW, it's the "young fans" who are talking like adults here (most of them, anyway), while you still carry on like an 8-year-old.

Dude, I'm a diehard fan of the logo and the team, anyone that knows me, will gladly back me up. The young fans and bandwagoners are hurting the teams tradition, because teenagers think they know it all, I was one, and it's common knowledge. They THINK they know it all, but tradition will win out in the end.
The young talk tough when things are going well, we're winning, but it's when we lose a few games, you can see the tough talk disappear!
Read the threads, a couple losses and the young fans are the ones who talk of doom first, oh, what the **** am I doing? Wasting my time on another know it all, I could talk all night, but you'd never understand. Enjoy the ride until you get off!

[im4bflo]

What about your damn question?

They changed the logo to a funny-shaped Buffalo head. They have a 'B' on the shoulders with a sword in it.

I am indifferent on the damn thing. I love the original. Hated the goathead, that was the wrong colors.

But I do know one thing: My feelings on a logo have little impact on what I think of the team

I guess some people watch sports for the athletic competition and to see one's favorite team win games, not to be some fashion designer *****ing about how the guys look in uniforms.

Dude, what you're saying, is exactly what I'm saying!
Hate the logo...
Love the team...
But what I'm adding is we don't have to put up with said ****ty logo, if we stuck together. But they're smart, they want to forcefeed the slug while the teams winning, and the :bandwagon er's are buying. Only sell the slug merch., the :bandwagon fan's don't know the difference!
They're winning, :bandwagon fans are eating it up.
And the fans that really care, are seeing disrespect from slugfans, and it hurts because we want to see our real Sabres, the ones we've been following since 70', skate that CUP around, not some damn unliked by the majority slug!

Did you just say you DON'T want to see the Sabres win the Cup with the slug? That'll end all debate about what kind of fan you are right there.

And did you just imply the current Sabres are not the "real Sabres"? That doesn't sound like loving the team.

[im4bflo]

And what's funny now to me is...
not ONE slug fan, out of all you, have yet ANSWERED my damn ONE question!
I've explained the pro's and con's of the original and the slug.
But have yet to hear anykind of logical reply, from any of you!
I think you know I'm right, but are too stubborn to admit it.
Prove me wrong! Give me a logical answer, as to why that slug represents the BUFFALO SABRES. F that slug!
We need a logo to represent our team, the fans, and our town.
Not a hodge-podge of second rate crap! Let's stick with the best!
And deep down in side, we all know what logo looks and represents the best.
I'd like to see Sabre fans stick together again, instead of following another money making scheme logo that sucks! GO SABRES!

[im4bflo]

Again, we're talking LOGO, not the team...
NO! I didn't say that, you twisted what I said, read exactly what I said, when we skate the CUP, it would just be more fitting, that we were wearing the original logo, for respect for all the past Sabres that gave their blood for the team.
And then some more :blah: twisted bull****.
To question my devotion to the team is rediculous.

[SABuffalo786]

I guess some people watch sports for the athletic competition and to see one's favorite team win games, not to be some fashion designer *****ing about how the guys look in uniforms.


I really don't think it's so much a matter of "Do our uniforms look cool" for guys like im4bflo, but rather a desire to have some sort of permanence and continuity.


The modern American sports scene has little to no permanence. Players, coaches, general managers, Arenas, hell even entire clubs never seem to stay in one place anymore.

What else do fans have to hold on to BUT the team badge and colors? Once the front office bows down to the almighty dollar and ****s all over your identity, there's not much left for fans to embrace as their own.

The problem isn't so much the slug itself (altought it truly is ugly, IMO). If the Slug was introduced in 1970 as our original crest and stayed with the team until the present day, no one would be *****ing I think.

The problem is the total lack of respect people like John Rigas and Larry Quinn have for our club and city's history.

[Dude]

blah, blah, blah answer my stupid questionWhat about the new logo represents Buffalo? It's on the jerseys of the team you are a supposed fan of. It's not going away.

If you hate it so much, do something about it. And when I say do something about it, I don't mean ***** and moan on this message board to a bunch of people who don't want to listen to you anymore. Get off your DIEHARD ass and do something about it. Stop insulting the rest of us who are not only diehard fans, but are mature enough to not act like a 2-year-old having a tantrum, and are enjoying one hell of a season. Take your thumb out of your mouth and make something happen on your own. Start a freaking petition or something. Write a letter. Anything. Just shut the hell up about it already.

Glad to see I wasn't alone on this issue and that all but about 2 of you understood my point... I've said a million times everybody is entitled to their opinion... I just wish those that were so outspoken about theirs could actually defend it intelligently.

[RockStar36]

For me, it's not even about being so outspoken w/ their opinions. It just gets on my nerves that if you don't rip the logo to death in every single post you get labeled as a "bandwagon fan" or a "fairweather fan" or you should just be "shot in the face". That's ****ing stupid.

I may be young but I bought an original blue jersey when they wore those. I bought a red 3rd jersey when they wore those. And I'll probably buy a new one. I support my team regardless.

We are not the Montreal Canadiens. The Sabres have exactly 0 Stanley Cups in the old jerseys.

[SABuffalo786]

And what is tradition?

We are not the Montreal Canadiens. The Sabres have exactly 0 Stanley Cups in the old jerseys.


I'm sorry, that argument is just plain silly.


So you think it's acceptable to throw away over 30 years of history just because we didn't win a Cup?

Everyone is so hung up on winning that they really miss the point of being a Sports fan.

Winning Championships certainly is terrific, but that's not what it's all about.


Mickey Mouse clubs like Tampa and Carolina have won Cups. Do they have tradition? Good ****ing Christ no! No one gives two ****s about them!


We might not have the banners in our rafters but what we do have is this:

Over three decades of faith, passion and love for our team. THAT'S tradition and in my opinion it's worth holding onto.

[RockStar36]

Tradition is more than simply titles and banners.

I'd like to read what message boards said 10 years ago when they first changed logos, colors, and all that.

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

The crest in which would adorn the blue, white and gold jerseys of Buffalo Sabres players from October 1970 until April 1996 reflected the team's name. Along with the Buffalo appeared two crossed sabres "renowned as a clean, sharp, decisive and penetrating weapon on offense, as well as a strong parrying weapon on defense,"

The 1996-97 season began a new era in Buffalo Sabres hockey with a new home, new colors and a new logo. The Sabres' new colors would be black, white, red, gray and silver, featuring a white buffalo head as the new team logo. A secondary logo of a "B" with the familiar sabre piercing through it would also be featured on the shoulder of the new jerseys.

The third jersey pays tribute to the original sweater, while incorporating colors and elements from the current design, unveiled in 1996.

The organization chose from over 50 different concepts and developed a blend of the 1970s blue and gold crest, featuring the traditional circle and crossed Sabres logo, adorned on a red-based jersey, trimmed in the team's black and silver of the 1990s. The word "BUFFALO" appears on the lower trim to signify the team's proud attachment to its hometown. The third jersey also features the current Sabres white buffalo-head logo appearing on the shoulders.

The new Sabres new uniform, unveiled on September 16, 2006, takes its inspiration from the original Sabres uniform (1971-96) and second uniform (1996-2005).

The design was a collaborative effort between the Sabres and Reebok International. The new “blue and gold” colors have been altered to a deeper navy blue and richer gold that have a greater visual impact both in person and on television broadcasts. Silver accents and a revised “B-Sabre” logo were carried over from the team's second uniform.

Holy. Mother. Of crap. :jawdrop:


As a sports fan, here are my priorities:
1. Win
2. Win
3. Win
87. What the jerseys look like

[Dr. Lecter]

'Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing."

Anybody that says being a sport fan is not about winning championships, needs to have their heads examined.

If the Sabres win the Cup in a pink tutu, I will be happier with that than a 2nd place finish in the original uniforms.

I've never said anything bad about the team, I've never talked about the team, but you keep bringing it up. It's the (funny-shaped) logo that's the topic, let's stick to that please!
You just said it's funny-shaped, and then you have to jump to the shoulders to get anywhere near a sabre. And that you love the original, well that's what I'm saying, so why force yourself to like something "funny-shaped" when we should of boycotted the damn thing, too late now.
You guys agree with me, then you say you don't care, WTF?!

Whatever. To each his own.


Look, to sum it up:


The slug is terrible. I don't like it. I'm not about to shoot anyone in the face (snort) or turn down a Cup because of it, but I really think it's a blantant cash grab by Larry Quinn (none of this 'we need it for the new Reebok uniforms' bull****) and really disrespects our past in the process.


Just my opinion.

[im4bflo]

and you haven't? :huh:

The team wants the logo, therefore you can't separate the two. If you take action against the logo, you take action against the team.

I can say the new logo sucks without being the Fred Phelps of logos and calling those who disagree with me childish names. But I will not do anything differently than I would do under the previous logos as far as supporting the team. I've bought every jersey they've ever worn, and that will not stop because that's one way I support the TEAM. When I stop doing that, then I support the TEAM less. Not an option.

In five years, those who still refuse to have anything to do with the logo will be mocked as silly freaks. Thanks for the preview.

We'll probably change it again in 10 years anyway.

Who else has their original logo on their helmets?
When the original comes back, I've got a lot of 'I told you so's' for all you Reebok slug :bandwagon fans.
It will be changing again, and next year there will be the new formfitting jersey, with the matching skirt :snicker2: and you'll be first in line?
You must be rich or something to spend hundreds on something you've admitted you dislike. (isn't that dumb?)
DIEHARD fans (PLEASE LOOK UP THE MEANING BEFORE YOU ANSWER) don't change for such stupid reasons. GO SABRES!

Diehards don't ***** for such stupid reasons. And you're right, they don't change. I've supported the team all along by wearing their jersey, and I'm not going to change that.

Now answer this question: Why is there a backorder of jerseys in the TENS OF THOUSANDS? (source: conversations with various stores). My answer is that is how fans support the team. That's my definition of diehard: Real fans who put the team before their own preferences. Diehards aren't selfish.

I've posted twice Websters Dictionary's meaning of DIEHARD, and I ask you to.
That's a diehard, not what you think.
The team is only selling slugs, and the team is winning, which brings in ten's of thousands of :bandwagon er's, who buy whatever.
There is also tens of thousands that hate that slug, and some of them, like you, are giving in, because there is nothing else to buy.
Only the diehards will enjoy the season, without selling out to Reebok.
(look it up)!

I'm answering your questions, how about going back, and answering what I've asked you? You're starting to bore me.

"Stubbornly resistant to change" and "unwaveringly loyal" is what mine says, and if you read my posts, that's exactly what I said. To me, not buying a jersey would be a change. But I'm not going to change that. I stubbornly resist my dislike of the logo and remain unwaveringly loyal to the team by wearing their jerseys. Diehard.

If you apply that definition to the logo, then you're a "diehard" fan of the old logo. Not the team. Perhaps you could start a Logo Zone just for you and the one supporter of the slug, because this is the Sabres Zone, where fans of the team discuss the team.

So instead of answering my questions, you'd rather quit?
When you slugfans can't answer my tough questions, you're only proving more to me that I'm right.
I think this slug logo, is a bad thing for the team.
It's got Sabrefan against Sabrefan, like no logo before. A yellow slug(looking)thing, appearing to be headed straight into the ground, is not a good thing.
Shouldn't we ALL be proud and excited of our teams logo???
We're far from that, and I hate that, and so do a lot of fans.
It's going to jinx us. It's not our logo, just a moneymaker.

Jinx? Bad for the team? That's just silliness.
