2006-07 to 2009-10 navy and gold

Also known as the “Buffaslug” uniforms given their arching shape, the logo on this uniform further reminded me of a cheap spinoff from the Buffalo Bills logo, except it was yellow instead of blue. If I were ranking the uniforms, I’d have put these last, but a few fans were fond of them.

And it’s easy to see why: The Buffalo Sabres last won a playoff series wearing them. Hey, there have been bad uniforms in every major North American pro sports league that stuck around because teams saw success in them.

Truth be told, the navy blue uniforms looked sharper than I initially thought. However, the road whites were just bland. Beyond bland. By 2008, the Winter Classic/then-alternate look gained steam and by 2010, these uniforms were slated to become an asterisk in franchise history books.
