Its probably because personally I always think blue when I think of Buffalo sports and the Sabers. I think they are a better suited style for a team like NJ or Ottawa

C'mon man! Don't let the 90's nostalgia virus affect you. Those jerseys were hideous then and just the same today. Same goes for the original Coyotes tarps. Its like missing dial up internet.

I don't mind them at all, just they are the wrong logo for a team named "Sabres". The third jersey they had at the time, with the crossed sabres on red, would not have been bad for an AHL team or something, either.

It’s a 90s jersey though . It’s not terrible, but not their best set

They were much better from 1975-80 and 2006-10 than they were during the black jersey era.

Seeing as they're now using the royal blue set permanently, the only retros that make sense would be the black-and-white goathead. Ask any Sabres fan and they'll tell you our best teams in modern era donned those jerseys (Hasek years and immediately after the lockout). The 07 team didn't put up much of a fight against Ottawa and it was all downhill from there, not to mention how much everyone hated the slug.

Per Wikipedia, talking about the Ottawa Rough Riders football team:

The club adopted the name Ottawa Rough Riders on Friday, September 9, 1898, and changed its team colours to red and black. Since then, red and black have been Ottawa's traditional sporting colours. Although in later years the name was said to derive from logging, the team based its colours on Teddy Roosevelt's regiment in the Spanish–American War, which, with the date of the renaming, suggests that the name also comes from the war.

I never knew this. Who'd have thought the Canadian capital would get its sport colors from a Spanish-American war regiment?

What does that Vegas jersey have to do with '95?

The sweater is based on the Las Vegas Thunder who played in the 90s.

I think the team sent a tweet out the other day, and the animation suggested that the jersey will be primarily blue. But I couldn't make much more out of it.

My hunch has always been that they will swap the red parts of the jersey for blue and vise versa.

The Sabres black and red jerseys were awesome and arguably the jerseys the Sabres had the most success in.

Were they that much more successful 96-06 than they were from the mid 70s-mid 80s? Both eras had various degrees of playoff runs and both eras with an appearance in the cup finals

75-80 you might have an argument. 06-10 was nowhere near as good as the black and red days. Got bounced first round in 10 and 11. 07 was obviously great til the Ottawa series.

Meanwhile look at their playoff appearances in the black and reds. 98, 99, 01, 06.

Because they're named after the musical note, not the color

They're named after the Song written and performed by the man who first published a Blues recording, the Father of the Blues WC Handy (though I'm told it's less Blues and more a march)



Got a laugh when a Blues fan said they are named after a movie - a movie about the life of WC Handy.
