| Sabres' Current Jersey (est. 2010)
|
The Buffalo "Don't Call Us Sab
ers" Sabres, established in 1970, have had an identity crisis for almost half of their existence. Does 305c solve the problem? No. In all honesty we probably made matters worse...
The original (and current) colors of the Buffalo Sabres are blue, yellow and white. Why? I'm not quite sure. I haven't found any information on why these colors were chosen, which is a scary thought. No designer in their right mind would just put something together without intent. To add to the confusion, in 1996 the Sabres moved to a new arena in Buffalo and decided to re-brand everything. New logos, new red and black color scheme, no explanation. Ugh, Buffalo, you make my brain hurt.

| '96, The Red & Black Era |
Although my reasoning for The 305cHL Buffalo color scheme might be laughable, at least I have a reason. I decided to ditch the blue and yellow from Buffalo because there is a blue epidemic in the NHL right now: teams with no blue in their color scheme are finding ways to use it in their 3rd jersey. So, one less blue team certainly wouldn't hurt. I believe that the team was onto something during their 'red and black era'. They looked intimidating. What I didn't like was the brightness of the red with the high contrast of the black.
