The shirts style is cool and I like the return to the old colors. The logo…I’m not impressed, but I’ve seen worse. Wasn’t there some guy who did a total retro version and was campaigning to use his model (think that was on the TSN website a few weeks back…)

Anyway, nothing beats the pure beauty of the Habs red jersey.

I would be shocked if anyone ever wanted to change the CH.

15 years? Did DiPietro get married to the NYI’s team owner’s daughter?
Buffalo’s shirt looks cartoonish, a bit like the mighty ducks. Next thing we know we will have bugs-bunny as a logo?
Btw, when does the canadiens preseason start, and when is the first preseason game?

Lindy Ruff still mentions the 99 finals in every single interview he does. Skate in crease, sure it was. In his face. HAHAHA

Since the NHL is going cartoonish, why not put a big picture of Asterix in the middle of the canadiens jersey?

The new Buffalo Jersey absolutly sucks. They should have stuck with the one’s they’ve been using for the past few years.

The Habs have way to much tradition to EVER change their jersey’s. The Original SIX teams should never change their jersey’s, especially the Habs(Though Toronto and Chicago should have little patches on their sleeves saying how many years they’ve gone without a cup because that might be the only thing that might motivate them not to suck year in and year out, biggest props there to the Blackhawks. 45 FRAKIN’ YEARS! Is that brutal or what!?)

P.S. To any Islanders fans out there, I hope you enjoy having this generations version of Harold Ballard running your team. 15 YEARS and 62 million dollars for maybe the 11th to 9th best goalie in the NHL and may never get better? Then again you shouldn’t expect any smarter from a guy who gave the GM’s job to his former backup goaltendre who retired just 1 hour earlier and who also gave Alexie Yashin a 10 year 100 million dollar contract and the C? You could hear the laughter all the way from Ottawa. Wang is ruining that franchise.

Garth Snow also gave a 10 year 100 million dollar contract to Yashin??! What a dumb move that is. This guy has been on the job for a month and has already signed people for the next 10-15 years..? What a cautious start.
Yashin isn’t worth 10 million for one year, let alone 10 in a row. Di Pietro isn’t worth 4.5 million any year. Maybe he is thinking that inflation will catch up and these will end up being good long term signings. The way I see it, he will be out of the job long before that, after pretty much crippling that team for the next 10 years.

Hey JT;

Im sure Pactum was talking about the Isles not the Sabres. Dipietro’s agent must be laughing all the way to Bermuda. Too bad Wang is not canadian he would make a outstanding PM.

I wouldn’t touch the traditional habs, in fact I think the habs should go back to the format they had in the mid 70′s. Which is classic and modern at the same time in the use of its colors. Yes, I agree the Sabres design is much to be desired, it does indeed look like a slug.

The montreal jersey is not only a jersey but sure is a tradition to us. WEearing and representing the montreal canadiens jersey gives us more faith for this team

#27…I’m flattered you like the name, but…

Hey this is my name! loser

glad you saw the light. ?????????
WTF??
go get your own name.What the hell???

You all know the TRUE symbol of the Buffalo Sabres.

Lots of suckers buying this **** on a jersey.
They dont care. They just buy what the management puts out.

This new logo is a total disgrace.

DONT BUY THE SLUG!!!!

————————-
GO GO BUFFALO!!!!

HAHAHAHA

injuries

DOnt ever talk to habs fans about injuries. DOnt you follow hockey idiot.

I agree with Dean. Look at the standing last year, and where did you guys place? Exactly. And the only reason we lost in game 7 was due to the fact that almost all our defensmen were out and had to call up the rookies.
And, if you look at the tape, his foot was in the crease. Even notice that after that year, if the goal was questionable, they review it? They know they fucked it up.

And who got coach of the year this past year?

Exactly.

Watch us completely kick your *** this season. You can watch us go to the end, while your team’s on the golf course.

As a Buffalo resident and fan I think that the only thing this new logo should be used for is a toilet paper design. Its a shame that now such a great team has to get dressed in something that looks like a cross between a New England Patriots logo with a Nashville Predators jersey and ugly colors. And for the last time(the first was when the second logo came out in 96), its the Buffalo Sabres, not the Buffalo Buffalos, put some swords in there. About the CH, like all the old jerseys, including Buffalos original, it is very classy and should never be changed. I cant imagine not being able to refer to the Habs as the bleu blanc et rouge.

Dude all you whiners need to grow up. If you cant get with the times and accept the change, go back to your typwriter and bite me. The new NHL logo’s on the whole are very cartoonish, but at least the Sabres are back to the Blue and Gold of the original jerseys. I already have my Home jersey paid for and I’m waiting for the Name & number to be sewn on. Buy the new jersey and get a big beer and enjoy one of the best teams in the NHL, enjoy the sabres kicking the snot out of all the canadian teams again this year. I’ll be at the HSBC center this friday to wittness the Habbs getting dismantled proudly clad in the new logo’s. After which you can find the whole city driving down deleware celebrating our teams success, I’m behind them 100% slug or no slug…..
I’m not gonna let a marketing campaign ruin the best sport for me. Hockey rules and the new jerseys are Ok. They still need to grow on most people.
Can you hear me now? , “LETS GO BUFF-A-LO!!!”

Still undefeated by the way….

Cheers to the slug, I’m lovin’ it!

HAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha

I like the idea of bringing back the colors of blue n yellow, b/c red n black are way overdone anymore! in all uniforms (expecially resturants) but the logo is the worst thing in the world!! i agree with who said it looks like the rams nfl logo or even yet the vikings. it looks cheap my b/f is a graphic designer he couldn’t beleive this is what our team has to represent. shoulda jsut kept the same sabres logo GRRRRRR

horrible to get old by becoming a traditionalist. as a leaf fan they can do whatever they eant to the habs jersey. but now the leaf jersey looks like a practice sweater. hopefully there wil belots of retro nights circa 1881 so we can see real uniforms again
