Chris maybe you can at least verify or hint at this if it is correct. I talked to someone that knows someone that works somewhere, not trying to get anyone in trouble, but I heard the Buffalo Sabres Jerseys is gonna be just basically a color swap with the thirds/ new home sweaters which would be pretty boring and lame. (think edmonton) But he couldn't quite recall for sure if they had shoulder yokes on them or not. I hope they do because white jersey's with out yokes are so blooming boring and so reeyuckbock. That's all we really have to go on at this point, so let's break it down. It's described as a "classically-designed uniform" that's a "tribute to not only the history of Buffalo hockey, but early NHL Jerseys designs." That all but confirms some sort of textual element as the primary feature of the sweater. Those old-timey hockey sweaters were always using words over symbols. Pair that with the part about the history of Buffalo hockey, and a picture starts to emerge. Rumors have swirled for a long time that the Sabres may look to their AHL predecessor, the Buffalo Bisons, who played from 1940 to 1970. This concept (right) probably best exemplifies what we're likely to see based on the above release. Having said that, it goes against the description leaked to Icethetics back in March. But a lot can change in that amount of time. Luckily, we only have less than a month to wait before we see it. And of course, we can't talk about Boston Bruins Jerseys in 2010 without talking about the standard home and road sweaters. It's practically a foregone conclusion that the "Buffaslug" is dead. However, he still appears on the team's website so I'll hold off on calling it just yet. That being said, we're expecting last season's third jersey to be the new home sweater while a white version of it will be worn on the road. We've said this over and over. My guess is that this will be made official as sort of an "oh, by the way..." type of thing at the Puck Drop event. If I hear or see anything before then, you know where to find it. And by the way, this expectation that I "should" have a "leak" by now... laughable, folks. We'll see the jerseys when we see them. What's the rush? The Rangers had the Liberty Logo on the practice jersey for a few years now. Even when the Alternate Jersey was in use the same logo was on the practice jerseys. Even this year, on the teams site, you would see the home, road and practice jersey on the link for the team shop. That jMLB Jerseys had the liberty logo there too...so it's not a sure shot that Lady Liberty will be donned again for the Rangers. It be nice but many feel the "New York" Jerseys is coming back.
