hey all, my favorite hockey time the Buffalo Sabres were just recently bought by a new owner, and I'm gonna be meeting with them for a new design proposal.
I'd like to ask you if I could get some opinions, and if you care enough, some signatures on the petition .. its basically an uncontrolled focus group to prove that the public likes this change and would love to see it implemented. thanks.

I personally like the concept and execution a lot, being 2A my fav version of the logo :)

I like the logo and jerseys and all alot, my only criticizm would be the Buffalo doesn't look strong enough. It's the legs, it almost looks like he's lazily flying through the air or something.
Overall great work though. I personally love their current logo and think it's one of the best in all pro sports, but I wish you luck, it be a great gig to score!

I love your ideas. Basically, it seems as if they are going back to the early 90's color scheme. Circa, Pat Lafontaine glory days. I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and can say the uniform shifting they've done in recent years has been for the better, they look regal now. I don't know why the Sabres ever went with Red and Black anyway, it sucked. Your stuff is wonderful. Long live Lemieux in Pittsburgh as King.

it took me a while to figure out it was a buffalo, at first i thought it was a skeleting, buffalos arent normally white are they. nice tight work tho

It all looks good to me. I personally love their current logo and sweaters though.

yup, nice colors and all; like the brown stuff most, but on the other ideas are very "Custer"-like. Remember Little Big Horn??
But the buffalo does look a bit frozen; been on ice too long??

thanks for the compliments guys ... I just had the chance to update the logos section with a bunch of new alternate logos, and wordmarks. Oh, and the buffalo is white because there is a story about a mythological white buffalo.
let me know what you think of the new stuff, and as always ... signatures on the petition are very appreciated. thanks again.

A. the buffalo sabres just had a redesign like 4 years ago. why another one when so many other nhl teams still rock their originals? ie - flyers, redwings, kings, canadiens, etc.
and
2. this team filed for bankruptcy this season...you'd be lucky the sabres will still be in buffalo, let alone in the nhl.
but....
they are some very nice logos. maybe you can do one for MY TEAM, the FLYERS.
ps - JazX, pirates will fall to the phillies TONIGHT!

YES! YES! YES!
you lucky bastard!!!!!!!!!!!
finaly their thinking straight!!!
The old sabres jersey was one of my favourites and I recently purchased a replica jersey.
Thank god they're bringing back the blue and gold.
The last jersey with the black and red and silver was a monstrosity!!!!
I love all the designs #4 is closest to the original so I vote for that one, but I wouldn'e be disapointed if any of the others were chosen either.
way to go!

mrniceguy - A. its being proposed because the previous owners who changed the logos 7 years ago were the Rigas's who were arrested, and left the team in the financial situation it was in.
and 2. the team did file for bankruptcy but was recently purchased by Thomas Golisano, the billionaire that started Paychex, over in Rochester. He plans to keep the team in Buffalo for a long time, and has expressed alot of interest in the Blue and Gold return for the very reasons I stated on the website.
I have presented these yet, it will happen right around Easter time. I'll be sure to let you guys know if you'll be able to buy these jerseys in the future, or just listen to me bitch why you SHOULD have been able to buy these jerseys.
