Also, Reebok's shelved designs also helps explain Larry Quinn's assertion that the vintage Sabres logo "couldn't work". The tighter, tucked-in jersey will likely have less surface area to work with, and as a result, the vintage circular logo would most likely have been crammed into a smaller area, and thereby less-visible and/or distorted by the form-fitting nature of the jersey.
The new Sabres logo is smaller, designed in a more horizontal manner and set higher across the chest. As a result, it would likely fit better and be more visible once it is on a tighter, form-fitting, tucked-in jersey. It is unknown if any other logos in the NHL will "work" with the proposed jerseys. In light of the various logo designs, it seems inevitable that certain adjustments in size or design will have to be made to accommodate some of the logos to the jersey. As a result, Reebok's claim that their proposed "evolution" would not affect "heritage" is somewhat undermined. Further, as noted prior, the Sabres have all but announced that Reebok's so-called "heritage" would be absent and otherwise irrelevant during the what would be most heritage-defining moments of the upcoming season.
The status of the currently-shelved plan to introduce the tighter jerseys into the NHL is unknown at this time. Also, it is not known to what extent the planned changes to jerseys and uniforms will affect the current designs and logos of other teams. However, in light of the proposals already made by Reebok, it would appear that the Sabres new logo, jersey and uniform design all indicate that Reebok and the NHL used the Sabres proposal to return to their original colors as an opportunity to take the next step in the "evolution" of the NHL uniform.
