Our blue is so dark it looks black on anything except a 1080p HDTV. That's the problem. Our current uniforms are (frank)ing hideous.

There was a huge rumor we were switching to royal blue and ditching the piping and grey. Both the draft hat and adidas preview show the grey and piping still, yet promotional images on sabres.com show an updated logo with no piping.

I'm not so sure they aren't planning to surprise us, that draft cap image looked almost photoshopped, the adidas logo at least.

I have never had any problem whatsoever discerning the navy from black on any television or live in person, and I don't have the best vision to speak of.

I am willing to bet the piping on the jersey is gone, but not the logo.

I guess I just never fell in love with the royal blue. It probably just goes hand in hand with my confusion of the fanbase longing for the days of the past, in which the team was, for the most part, just as mediocre as they are now.

Surprised at this. I love the Sabres uniforms. They are right up there with the Leafs and Red Wings as the best in hockey

Everyone is fine with the logo. It's just that everyone is making a big deal about the royal blue over navy for some inexplicable reason.

If that's all we needed was a #1, then sure, absolutely.

I agree with taking the guy that has a higher ceiling, but I think the assumption that Chychrun's ceiling is 3/4 is off too.

He was a projected top 3 pick because his ceiling is higher

What about Bogo's ceiling? He's still young(for a defenseman).

A few shades brighter and I wouldn't mind. But definitely get rid of the stupid piping and pit stains. They look bad enough on the home jerseys, but Godawful on the roads.

Agreed. My beef with the navy is it looks black on TV.
Go a bit lighter so we can see it is blue, doesn't have to be Royal.

Agreed on the piping and pit stains ... the grey in the crest takes away from the sharpness too ... navy is fine but a few shades lighter would work too

Nah. No need to waste assets to move up for a goalie. They are far too unpredictable. If hes there in the 2nd then maybe but im fine with rolling the dice on a later round guy.
- MCGUIZZY


I could live with that too ... think we need to use one pick this year on a tender though

I just think we're done with the dull, washed out colors of the last 15-20 years.

This. Especially with HD, the brighter colors will pop so much more.

Some players have the Mamba mentality. KD looks to be in the same company as Jordan and Kobe.

Brownie interviewed Jones on Murph's show today. Really liked how he came off. Said those who humble themselves will be exalted and those who are exalted will be humbled. Love that, but we're probably not lucky enough to have him become REALLY GOOD.
