This is sweet, we should be wearing the jerseys all season long though. SABRES AND PENGUINS TO SPORT RETRO LOOK OUTDOORS Buffalo Sabres Nov 9, 2007, 10:33 AM EST ![http://cdn.nhl.com/sabres/images/upload/2007/11/winterjersey-11807.jpg](http://cdn.nhl.com/sabres/images/upload/2007/11/winterjersey-11807.jpg)Photo: [Sabres.com](http://Sabres.com) The National Hockey League (NHL) today announced the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins will wear vintage jerseys during the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic, the League’s first regular-season outdoor game in the United States. Buffalo will wear the white version of the jersey worn by the club from 1978-79 through 1995-96, which features the familiar circular logo of the charging buffalo over crossed sabers. Pittsburgh will return to the powder blue version worn from 1968-69 through 1972-73. This marks the first time the Penguins will wear powder blue since switching to black and gold in 1980. Both jerseys will be made of Rbk EDGE performance materials. “The Amp Energy NHL Winter Classic is a great celebration of hockey returning to its origins,” said Brian Jennings, Executive Vice President Marketing, NHL. “Wearing vintage jerseys for this historic event is a unique way to pay tribute to years past while acknowledging the rich history of the NHL and its clubs.” “The Penguins are proud to honor our history and heritage in this unique Winter Classic game,” said Pittsburgh Penguins team President David Morehouse. “We think it will be a great opportunity for our young players such as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to wear these blue uniforms and establish a link with our teams of the 1960s and 70s.” “Wearing the classic white jersey is the perfect fit for a classic outdoor game,” said Buffalo Sabres Managing Partner, Larry Quinn. “Our future retro jersey will be the dark blue sweater, so this maybe one of the last times our team wears this jersey. One more historic footnote to the game.” full story: [http://sabres.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=342768](http://sabres.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=342768) ---

I didnt jump on the bangwagon when they made the two playoff runs like the gabillion other people in WNY who did and now claim to be real fans. Just saw the I kid thing, no hard feelings, im a true fan unlike some people, I just have a pesimisstic view of doomed buffalo sports. ---

it doesn’t matter anyway…they aren’t going to make it to the playoffs this year anyway, and lindy ruff will be hung, HSBC burnt to the ground, and all of the sabres that aren’t injured will be sold as slaves…and the injured ones will be used for dog food… that’s what happens when you lose a few games early in the season ya know… ---

I hope they don’t wear those ugly ass blue jerseys. I don’t want to see them come in and out of the tunnel with them. My eyes will bug out by the end of the day. I won’t mind looking at those sexy white uniforms though. Good throwbacks are the shit! ---

Everyone needs to get a life. Hockey is not the only thing happening in Buffalo. It sickens me to see how people that know NOTHING about sports (ie: sweaty fat fucks that have never played sports in real life, and the dumb cunts that wear “pink” sabres apparrel, and cheer for the “hot” players), get so into hockey, and try to live vicariously through professional athletes. God, it’s just so sad. Get a life, and move on. Not singling out anyone here, but man, last year annoyed the dick all out of me. So many clueless “fans” out there, it made me so happy to see them so dejected when they finally lost. I think I’m going to go out and buy up all the Ottowa merch. in Buffalo. ---
