2010-11 to 2019-20 navy and gold

In 2010, the Buffalo Sabres ditched their “Buffaslug” uniform and opted for something more classic, but with a twist. These navy, silver, and gold uniforms grew in popularity when they were initially used as the threads for the 2008 Winter Classic.

However, only 1.7 percent of the fans polled said these were their favorite uniforms, despite the modernized classic feel. These uniforms saw a few tweaks, like eventually removing the silver accents from the armpit area, which gave them more of a classic look.

They were also in use for over a decade – 10 seasons as the primary look and dating back to 2008 as an alternate uniform. But when the fans spoke, they finished dead last and trailed the eventual victors by a whopping 67.3 percent. But they didn’t lose by much to the threads that came in third place on this list.
