Check out this design of the revamped "Goat head" Sabres logo, it's really not bad and I can see it as an alternate third jersey. Definitely better looking than the red and black version. Bleeeech!!!!

after living through 2 bad non-sabre logos, why mess it up again?

I liked the red and black uni's actually, but the classic version is just so cool they should stick with it. If they feel the necessity for a third jersey just do a slight variation of the original.

See, I like the current logo, but always loved the goat head in current colors. That said, the current home Jersey is boring. Maybe make the shoulders yellow or something?

The NHL should go back to the way it was traditionally and screw what other sports do...
"whites" at home and so called boring colors for the road.

I honestly can't think of any way to make the Sabres blue unis better. Way too blue.

Little more yellow would be nice. Yellow shoulder patches, imo

Is that lighter than the blues now? It's hard for me to tell. Maybe keep the darker blues for the pants and the original blues for the socks and jersey like St. Louie?

I think blue pants with a large, single yellow stripe up the side (think red wings template) would be perfect

I was at the uniform unveiling at the Aud which only held standing room, but did you know that the goathead was only half of the jersey there was supposed to be more to the jersey. According to Seymour Knox's wife Jean before she passed she said that "Seymour loved his team and the colors Blue and Gold, he wanted to keep the jersey Blue and Gold he only wanted to tweak the logo by having a new buffalo in between the crossed Sabres which was where the goathead was supposed to go" (if you take out the white streaking buffalo and put the goathead in between the crossed sabres you can see that it should fit perfectly like a puzzle piece) as for the change to the Red and Black the excuse given was other NHL teams where wearing red and black at the time wrong the REAL reason why the Sabres changed the colors because they were going to be sold to the Rigas's and Adelphia's colors were red and black. The late Seymour Knox III passed away before the first ever game was played in the arena

I loved the third jersey the sabres used a few years ago, with the script "buffalo"... that was a great jersey

Her dying words. It was the name of her doll as a child, like " Rosebud " was the name of Charles Foster Kane's sled. :up:

The Buffalo Unie needs not ever to be tweeked. If they wanted to do a third jersey, I'm cool with that, but our jerseys are awesome as is. BTW, I loved your concepts!!! Loved the Nashville guitar pick logo, the red wings/tigers hybrid logo, la kings unies, old school minnesota colors, carolina canes revamped logo, and washington unies!! GREAT, great work!! Do you do baseball, nfl, nba??

you just might just get their wish... according to Icethetics when Adida's starts making the jersey's they might look just like this except without the stripes on the bottom only three stripes on the arms, San Jose jerseys only have a stripe on the arms of the jerseys and why well when the Sharks unveiled their new jerseys back in 2013 Sharks GM Doug Wilson said the new uniforms were designed “with performance in mind” as the jersey has a little less weight to it.

They already tried this when they switched to the original edge jerseys. They made designs more vertical and removed alot of teams horizontal waist stripes. They eventually brought it back because it was hated.

It won't happen again.

:nono: the jersey is navy blue it's just the contrast of your monitor...this is the same problem the Sabres had this same problem whenever they wore the "blue pajamas" which they were called by Sabres fans because not only was the jersey blue but the pants were and the socks with three yellow stripes. Back in the late 70's early 80's the Sabres started tweaking the away jerseys by making them a darker blue this was because Sabres fans were writing to the Sabres complaining that when the Sabres played on the road and when they were televised (not all games were televised like they are now) that the jersey looked like the jersey was purple like Grimace from McDonald's purple because of how the light hit the jerseys from the lights in the arena and how the tv camera picked them up on the telecasts.

1978-80

1980-83 (you can see the how much darker the blue is as the Sabres tweaked the away jersey by making it darker blue)

I'll never forget the first time I saw the Sabres blue uniforms in person. It was 1980, and they had always worn the whites at home, but they wore the darker blues on home ice for the first time against the Soviet Central Red Army team. They looked amazing.

This is the USA World Cup jersey. Can you please link to the story that says this? I can't find anything on Icethetics that backs this up as being the template for the NHL.

This also needs a source. Icethetics made no claims like this.
