its just stupid on their part in terms of marketing. They obv had to pay for this logo. i’m sure it was a pretty penny. regardless of the support of the team, I anticipate a severe drop in memorablia sales if our jerseys indeed look as bad as that logo. i hope they don’t, im just saying, if they do.

I would have bought a jersey this year, but not that one. only jersey i could see myself buying right now is a blue and gold

Yeah its final, but the actual look on the jersey is waht everyone is waiting for. Its probably going to be exactly what is on the ice.

The sword is part of the slug, its that dark stripe. The sword was there the whole time. And the number on the front is the thing that no other team has…Other than a banana slug.

I would say mainly the sabres cause ultimately they have the right to say “no we dont like that stupid arena football logo!” I have an idea of what happened here.  
Reebok decides that they are goingto modernize hockey jerseys.  
contact the sabres and ask them to use their design  
sabres initially refuse until money or equipment deal is waived in their faces  
the end.

Its pointless to try to change the way the league looks because you will always have teams that will refuse to change the style of their logo. ie toronto, detroit etc…

NFL seemed to go in that direction when all the designs stared to have that “sweeping look” carolina, jacksonville, new england. But then they get to the steelers and browns they look like the odd balls. It surprised me when the bills didnt change their logo with the last jersey change but im happy they didnt.
