First, the bad....The white stripe on the home jersey looks bad, escpecially because there is no white stripe outlining the gold stripe on the pants. No shoulder logo is also a swing and miss. The small version of the crest should have went there or a totally different logo....but something.
Good....the colors and general design. And NO CHEST NUMBERS!
Not bad but could have been better.
Are teams getting away from the laced up collars again? Not to be nit-picky but I liked those.
Since the switch to adidas jerseys, has any new jersey had them?
I don't know why the NHL doesn't go with whites at home for the first half of the season and darks for the second half. It would probably boost jersey sales as well.
Is it that hard to come up with something so easy that all would like?

Beautiful.
That’s what the AHL currently does, and it’s awesome.I don't know why the NHL doesn't go with whites at home for the first half of the season and darks for the second half. It would probably boost jersey sales as well.

I’d rather see every other team’s colors and have the white at home. Every home game looks the same with darks at home. But that’s just my opinion.I've never understood why the majority of people seem to prefer the white version of a teams jersey or why white is the home jersey. I've always preferred the full color jersey of any team I'm a fan of. Shouldn't you want to display your full colors at home, and be forced to wear boring white on the road? I don't get it.

The royal jersey includes white-outlined gold numbers and no striping on the shoulders. There's also no yellow on the collar and the royal used on the uniform resembles that used by the original jersey in 1970. However, the first prototype presented to the Pegulas had three gold and two royal stripes on each arm and the waist, much like the original royal blue jersey, but this led to the white crest “dominating a sea of royal and gold,” said Cravotta.
With not enough time to work with Adidas on alterations, Cravotta, Durbin and Raccuia began to cut strips of white felt and placed them on top of the jersey in search of a solution. After a few days of working sessions in the PSE and Adpro Sports offices, the group decided on two thin, white piping between the gold and royal stripes on the arms and waist.
Photos were taken to send to ownership and Adidas, and both jerseys were finalized in late 2019.
“It’s this very slight adjustment,” Cravotta said. “That’s what we wanted. We didn’t want this banding to become overwhelming. It’s a very subtle but important detail. The white one was perfect. There was never a question in my mind, and the team that worked on it. We loved it right off the bat.”
The new uniforms do not have patches on the shoulders and there aren’t numbers on the chest. Instead, they opted for one subtle change to honor the city. An electric flash logo was placed inside the back collar of the jersey, an ode to the municipal flag of Buffalo. These will serve as the primary jerseys for the distant future and the 50th anniversary jersey won’t be used as an alternate in 2020-21.
I wonder if Okposo is OK with Jack borrowing his stick?
Beautiful. At least now if we suck; we suck in style!
The Bills and Sabres can now make a case for best jerseys in both the NFL and NHL. The Bills, for me- it's not even close.
