All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

Re: this logo thing is bad for moral...why?

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!!

Re: this logo thing is bad for moral...why?

Dennis Williams on WIVB Ch4 Sports said that final attendance was 15,002 at the arena. That's almost half of the arena, the arena holds 18,690 people and all of the new merchandise sold like in 15 min tops! Looks like the new jersey will be staying for a very long time.

Love the new logo,
embrace the new logo,
Deal with the new logo because it's here to stay!

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.

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

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!

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

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.

no to fuel nor extingish the fire.. but how do you poeple think this Looks?

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

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.

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

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.

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

The uniforms are a slap in the face.

I will never own one.

Re: All Threads Bickering and Complaing about the logo.

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]

Give the slug logo to the Bisons...

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!"
