I think people need to understand there is a demographic of people that grew up with these jersey's that the franchise wants to connect with. Hell Alex Tuch mentioned it in his first press conference with the sabres that they should bring back the goathead. The 05-06 team was truly a special team and when you think of that team, you think of those jersey's

Shoulda got one game in
The Goathead jerseys were amazing. What are you talking about?
I don’t like the arm horns or the weird side triangles.
In this pic, replace grey with black, blue with red, and yellow with grey, and it’s a better Goathead:

I think those things you're mentioning are the B-with-Sword shoulder emblems.

No. The B with Sword is on the shoulder yoke. Then there’s white, then a horn, then the number (on the white jersey). On the black, there’s no yoke and then random white horns.

Original AGH is easily better than any of those options, imo.

Sabres fan in...
I know your post wasn't about the colors, but IMO the AGH loses some of its character with the less-aggressive blue/gold color scheme. It kind of needs the red and black.I don’t like the arm horns or the weird side triangles.

You must be younger than me, then
Possibly. It is all subjective regardless of attempted ageism.
Let's go through why the Black and Red jersey was hot garbage.
A) The primary logo is hot trash. Just terrible. Looks like something from a bad fantasy novel called "dark goatimus".
B) The colors. Black and red and Silver? What is this, some weird goth Christmas celebration
C) The font. I don't even know what this is.
What the actual f***. It looks like they stole it from "Chaz's Lazer Tag Arena' or some lame shit.
And there's the actual jersey
It's ugly. Ugly! The most amazing thing about it is they actually one upped themselves by making the next jersey even uglier. It's quite amazing.
Is there a relative of a Sabres employee who got an associate graphic design degree from Erie Community College in 1993 who has been doing this for them and nobody has the heart to throw their ideas in the trash?

Just get rid of the horns on the arm this time and it’s fine. I can tolerate the triangles on the sides of the jersey body. The horns just ruin it.
I was posting Goathead concepts I could find that looked better. Unfortunately all the black ones I could find to post were just the original one. The couple I found on icethetics just links to the site
. So those ones, you gotta use your imagination.Also, the hell is this?!:

This post is wow, especially the unwarranted shot at autistic people.

As fans, we want our team to develop a storied legacy. Part of that identity is the logo and team colors. Because I started watching the team in royal blue and learned of their history in those colors, I thought it was offensive to change from that.
Likewise, a fan starting their history with the team in the AGH era would feel the same way about those jerseys. I get it.
I guess I would rather they bring back a former jersey (AGH) rather than create, yet another logo and colors. A least you are honoring a part of their past.
Those jerseys are coming back because they were a winning team. If they sucked like we have for the past 10 years, NO ONE would want them unburied.
(I say all this knowing the main factor is revenue)

You're not wrong but nostalgia trumps all. I will forever love the AGH and associate it with when the team was tough, exciting and competitive.Let's go through why the Black and Red jersey was hot garbage.

B) The colors. Black and red and Silver? What is this, some weird goth Christmas celebration

Also, the hell is this?!:
That was just a Starter fashion jersey they sold for a few years in the late '90s. Pretty sure all the teams had similar jerseys with the color schemes flipped around that time. It was like an early trial run of last year's Reverse Retro thing.

Or do this:
I smell a Tuch 89 or Dahlin 26 in this! Or a Power 22. God, I cannot wait!
