I felt like they were really close to a great jersey with their last set, it was all just very cluttered. Especially when they added anniversary or memorial patches. If they would've just removed the shoulder yoke and those front numbers, replaced the shoulder logo with one of the other 40 logos from their logo set, I think they would've had one of the best sets in the league.
These are nice, but the lack of stripes on the hemline is disappointing. I can make my peace with the front numbers, but the similar chest/shoulder logos was a mistake they should've fixed.
For those who are jersey fanatics, Minnesota is also scheduled to release a new road jersey on September 1st, and the Sabres also have a new third jersey coming out soon. They've been tweeting worthless "sneak peak" pictures for the last two weeks.
