LOL

That's not too bad. Not sure why two different colors of yellow, but I kinda like it.

I wonder if that's on purpose or if they just used the low cost bidder

Damn, apparently he wasn't just messing with us:

In scripted scene, Ott loses patience, unveils Sabres' third jersey - Sabres Edge | The Buffalo News

Just reading those comments at the bottom of the story and that say's it all. Some pretty nasty stuff there.

I think they're horrible. I was really hoping Ott was just messing with us and that the team was going to turn around and say "ha ha, that Ott sure is a joker. Those things are ugly as fuck, here are the real ones."

Alas, not gonna happen.

Huxtable references always get a thumb up. It's a rule.

If it weren't for the two different shades of yellow, I would like it. I cannot get over that detail.

I second that.. and the gray part of the sleeves must go as well..

I don't mind the design as a 3rd jersey at all actually. But I don't really care for the 2 different shades of yell..... umm gold (?) though.

hahahahahaha

I know I'm in the minority, but I still say the best Buffalo color scheme was the red and black. However the cross sabre logo is better than the buffalo head.

When reached for comment last month, Sabres president Ted Black gave a "no comment" to the Buffalo News. (That's how you sell it!)

On Thursday morning, Black finally did comment on the jerseys during an appearance on the Howard Simon Show on WGR Radio.

"It's received a ton of criticism and a lot of attention. I think it had over 4 million mentions on Twitter. I've seen it. It's something that doesn't offend me. I think people have had a lot of fun with the criticisms of it. Judge for yourself whenever you see it. If you come into the store and you look at it and say I don't want to buy it or you do buy it, in terms of moving the needles on revenues, it won't do anything.

"If it doesn't sell, it won't really mean anything to our bottom line. It's a third jersey. If it's a turd burger I'll have to put it on a bun and eat it. It's the way it is.

"We kept the logo the same. We wanted to do something that was a little bit more non-traditional, so it's two-toned; it's gold in the front and blue in the back; it has different colors for numbering; it has the Buffalo font in the front. Like I said, no one's gonna twist your arm, put a gun to your head if you don't wanna buy it, Howard, you don't have to."

The Sabres will wear them for the first time on Nov. 24 against the Detroit Red Wings.
