Anyone who checks out icethetics on a regular basis, likely already has read this blurb. But for those who aren't familiar with the site..

Quote:
Same alternate jersey The Sabres will hang onto the alternate sweater they introduced this season as part of their 40th anniversary celebration.

Though nothing is changing, I thought it worth mentioning here as some thought perhaps the jersey would be worn only this season and then retired. In fact, it seems the royal blue will hang around at least one more year. Possibly longer.

Also, the jersey does feature the throwback Sabres logo with their founding year, 1970, set inside. This was used as the team's 40th anniversary mark but it's not specific to this year, which means it's likely to stay on the sweater.

It goes without saying, but Buffalo's home and road uniforms will also stay the same for 2011-12. Overall, this might be the best set of sweaters in the NHL. And it's all because they're paying attention to their past.

I don't either. They look to much like a minor league baseball jersey.

I enjoy the fact that the Sabres have gone from one of the worst combinations of uniforms to one of the best.

I'm pleased by this development.
I also think we have one of the best sets of jerseys in the NHL...but I'm a big fan of the 3rd.

I kind of hate our current home jerseys. A bit too dark I think, have trouble telling them apart from the Bruins jerseys because of the dark color.

Something we should also consider is that once we get a new owner, Pegula might not want to have those Alternates be the alternates anymore... Also something to mention, We have lost every game but one in those alternate jerseys! I smell a curse :D jk jk of course. But idk I dont really like them either.

It's a phrase that basically means, if you wanna see the Sabres at the top, turn the rankings.

I love both the home and away jerseys. However I'm not a fan of the 3rd jersey. I'd rather see it go after this season.

lol, well put Fly!

I dunno, I'm kind of glad they're not switching the 3rds (For now at least. RBK & the league have been known to change their minds at the drop of a hat. See the Preds white jersey posted in the original link).

I think they need to establish some kind of an identity with our current jerseys instead of an angry goat, a slug & crossed butter knives and changing them every 4-5 years. Although, I would prefer the goats over the slugs, just my taste. I’ll admit I was a little displeased with the 40th jerseys at first, but after seeing them in person and in game wear, I like'em a lot.
