It looks like this may be the final year for the current Buffalo Sabres uniform. The team looks to retire the modern Sabres blue and gold for a return to a more tradition style, with the teams current third jersey, a slightly altered version of their original colors, becomes their standard uniform.
Not to be without an alternate jersey however, the Sabres are using this as a potential replacement for their alternate jersey:
This may not be a permanent alternate sweater, as rumor has it will only be used during the 40th Anniversary season.

Full time father, husband and Buffalo Sabres fan. Started writing with Fansided back when the network only covered the NFL. Launched Sabrenoise.com as the first non-NFL site. Haven't looked back since. If you have any questions or comments on the site please email me at timothy.redinger@fansided.com
I'm a wear white at home, blank sweater wearing fan, non laces type guy. I can't see spending money on a sweater with a guys name on it when he might not be around long enough to wear it out. If I am going to get a name on a sweater, its gonna be an old white home sweater, with either an 11 or a 7 on it.

I hope this is just a proto-type, bc they look like long sleeved baseball jersey’s. The Sabres change their uni’s more often than any team i feel like. Next thing you know they wil lbe going back to the red, silver and black. I do love the color scheme of yellow and blue, just not the scripted writing.
Kevin,
Thanks for the comment. The Sabres have changed their uni’s quite a bit – I am just glad to see them returning to a gold/blue design and scrapping the black and red trend. I would vote for going to a jersey with the original blue jersey with the brighter blue. The new blue is almost dark enough to be black.
This design I posted in merely an artist mockup for what has been described to him, so it can either be right on, or totally different. I have actually seen a couple of different artist renderings.
I would almost have to think there are going to be a few changes to the Sabres jerseys.
The “slug” is staying on as an alternative logo. I have a feeling we are going to keep seeing this logo as a shoulder patch, possibly on the third jersey.
The B with the Sabre through it has been part of Sabres culture since the switch to HSBC Arena and the black uniforms. I would almost like to see a third jersey making this the primary logo.
Only time will tell – it should be pretty interesting. It seems like the Sabres hit one out of the park or strike out miserably with their uniforms.
