It seemed odd at first, but now I like that they've rolled this out with a 'the jersey you're asking for is coming!' quickly following.
As I feel about the Flames unis, just put what the fans want to see on the ice - then start playing around with 3rd jerseys, heritage jerseys, etc. The Sabres are just a step behind leading up to their 50th - but these would be much better received if all the fans already had their preferred jersey in their closet. These look sharp! The guy they have over there now is a jersey genius, so I'm pumped for what next year looks like as well.
With more trips to Buffalo in my future, it's great that they actually rolled out a jersey I wouldn't mind having!
