I don't really like it, it seems to lacrosse to me....

 

My thoughts, its better than the black/red one.

Personally though i don't like it as the yellow is the wrong shade (too orangey).  and the symbol sucks.

Personally my first choice for them would be go back to the vintage blue and gold with the old symbol and the black/red one on the one shoulder (in yellow/blue) and the B with the sword through it on the other shoulder.

Second choice is the red/black sabre in gold/white and on a blue jersey.  with the B's on the shoulders.

It's not bad, but I really like the jerseys they have now, so I would hope that they don't feel the need to change them.

Living near Buffalo, their fans hate them and want a return to the blue and gold colour scheme.  They really hate the black/red.

The Sabres have already said they will be going back to blue and gold, but they have not officially unveiled the new jersey.  This is a possible leak that a Buffalo Radio Station WGR 550 obtained and put on their website.

It's all about marketing. These shirts and the older versions will sell. Business first, right?

Don't you think that something isn't right when a team has to change their logo and jersey to sell their product? After this seasn one would think that the product on the ice would sell  tickets not a new jersey. On the hand, the CH has stood the test of time proudly representing les canadiens on and off the ice. This is a sign of a classy organization with longevity, fan loyalty, and product allegiance.

Personally, I do not like this at all.  It looks like an NFL jersey.  I never liked the original blue and gold either.  I really like the black/white/red.  Actually my spring hockey team uses the current jerseys.
