After going a couple of NHL seasons without a third jersey, the Sabres aren't anymore as they have released one of the strangest jerseys in NHL history. These jerseys have two primary colors: the front is mainly yellow and the back is blue. They are the only team in the league to have a multiple toned jersey and that is not something to be proud of because this jersey is probably one of the worst in the league today.

First off, this jersey has grey numbers outlined with yellow on the back which blend in with the navy blue. In my opinion, they should have reversed it and went with yellow numbers and a gray outline. That would make the back of the jersey stand out a little more and create contrast with the very bright yellow on the front side of the sweater. Secondly, I do not understand the purpose of the sleeves turning plain grey once they get passed the elbow. If the team decided to change that and make the bottom part just like the rest of the arm, the jersey would not be as bad as it is.

By eliminating grey on the numbers and on the sleeves this jersey would really stand out and leave a lasting impression on fans and players, making the jersey go from awful to mediocre. With all that being said, however, I do complement the Sabres organization for being different and trying something new because recently most teams (including Ottawa, Washington, and Boston) have used retro style sweaters as their alternates.
