Finally.

However, I know it'll always be around the arena on fans wearing their slug era jerseys.

But for my own sake, I think the wordmark used as a part of the secondary logo on that sheet is considered it's own logo so it'll stick around.

I assume they'll finally take it off the scoreboard?

That was put into the suggestion box. They said it would have to be done in the offseason or something so yes, hopefully.

Throw the charging white buffalo in it's place.

Seeing that thing blow smoke from its nose and have it's eye turn red would be the BEST.

Yup, along with the big slug logos inside the main concourse of the arena too. Those things are all supposed to be removed during the spring/summer.

We still had some signs in the Sabres Store with the slug on it.

I hope they got those too. They assured us every trace of slug will be gone by next season.

Does this mean we can finally bring an end to Mikey *****ing about it like a 5 year old who had his favorite toy taken away?
