No love for Hawerchuk? After Perreault he’s the second best all time to ever wear a Sabres jersey! One of the most all time underrated players in history

Yeah, still, this is the all-white concept I had envisioned.

I agree with the poster who said as a one off these are cool. The problem with the white pants is that they would constantly be needing new pants or shells and if it's new pants I highly doubt the players would be okay with that since pants suck to break in. I've seen youth teams go with the white pants/shells and as soon as they start to show scuffs, sticks marks and puck marks they look like garbage.

Anyways, I think these are really sharp uniforms. I feel they got it right. Do we have any pictures of the new royal blue unis yet?

I doubt they've even been designed yet, or at best, they're in the design stage.

Ty Conklin would have been my pick. I don't care that he played here for ten minutes.

I think the idea is that you can't have players on two teams. Marty is on the 2nd team of the Black and Red.

That said, I wouldn't hate Steve Shields as #2 on Black and Red (he did win a playoff series, after all), and put Marty on the Slug team.

Way too much white.

They would blend in too much with the ice.

The Sabres have a hard time completing passes now.

Maybe a nice neon color??

Little scuff marks are fine though on the shells. They don’t need to be perfect.

Anyone need to clear some bowel space to fit more tacos?

Vladimir Sobotka, Tage Thompson, C.J. Smith, Remi Elie and Scott Wilson combined for 14 goals in 192 man-games on the LW.

Yellow line would cut down offside challenges from eight minutes to five and a half minutes.

I like them but the one thing I would have done to make them even better is to have the blue stripes and the blue in the circle logo background royal blue instead of navy blue. Would have made the jersey pop more. Wish I was joking
