Rumor: New third jersey for 12-13 (UPD: post #88 no new jersey, current third retired)

[CrankyJay]

What a bunch of crap.

[LegomyLeggio]

I have no problem with just having a home and away jersey.

But, I did like the 3rd jersey that they had the past couple of seasons, too.

Meh....

Thank goodness there is no black 3rd coming!

You're not the only one. The stands are full of people wearing them. It's been an incredibly popular jersey.

I was mostly okay with the 3rd jersey except for the numbers made of triangles. Yellow jerseys look too much like practice jerseys. Kind of unfortunate that yellow is the only other main off-setting color for the team. I don't know what to suggest for another color.

As I've said a bajillion times in other threads, lose the pit stains and ugly piping, then lighten that midnight blue down a few shades so it doesn't look like a black jersey on TV.

The Sabres wore their blue alternate 40th anniversary jerseys with the script "Buffalo" on the front for the final time. A team spokesman said the jerseys are going to be retired and there will likely not be an alternate next season.

I personally love the Nashville gold jerseys.

[TommyV]

yellow or gold i'd be sick

and for the black & blue pomer jersay maybe if you drop the dot and put on a sabre in front of the swords it would look sick i'll see what i can do to create what i'm talking about

i thought of this, so i did a quick photo shop.



opinions?

i'll do a white version later.

Never really liked them to begin with, so not a big deal for me.

I love the 3rd jersey.............can't they just stay with what works

Black is not a Sabres color

Depends what they do with the black, if they even do anything. If they bring back the AGH jersey as a third, I'd love that. Anything like the black ice stuff, no. Hell no.

Ya they look a lot better than the current ones, the perfect mix of the modern jersey and the classic

[TheyAreGoodScaryGood]

If they use the AGH they should atleast revamp it for our 3rd

[Mogilny 89]

Shame, I like the current 3rds. I might buy one now.

if they don't use yellow for a third then I think the royal blue is a great color as well.

[THE GURU]

I am sad they are retiring the 3rd jersey. I have a myers jersey in it and love it. That is the color blue the home jerseys should be and I would LOVE our uniforms. I don't get the dark navy it looks like crap imo. We are blue and gold not dark navy

[Fly Boy]

If they made the AGH jersey the third, I would buy a Myers or Ennis one so fast.

What color is navy again?

[Bosswally]

on a somewhat related note, What if for big games at home (like game 7s, fan appreciation night, or a big playoff clinching game in a tight race) the sabres all wore a gold helmet like the one they give out after each victory. This could be like the green jerseys that Notre Dame wears once in awhile
