this history logo voting is really cool Chris. just dont forget the caps!!!!!!!!
The one I voted for is an uninspired, generic logo in a circle. And it is sad that it is light years better than the 2 most recent logos.
I can't believe that 9 % of the voters voted for the Buffaslug.
Ok...here is the million dollar question....are you a buffalo or are you a sabre? Buffalo is where you are from, it should not be your logo. Sabre could be a sword or a tiger, and the only orange and black I see is down in south Phila. Someone in management needs to devise a new identity and image.
welp, here goes.
"Our original logo remains our best. The current "thing" on our jerseys now makes me ashamed to be a Sabres fan."
Get off the bandwagon. Does it matter what is on the team's jersey? You're talking about a team that's been setting franchise records the last two years, once wearing the goat head logo jerseys and once wearing the Buffaslug.
"holy crap i honest to god for all these years thought that the backwards c type part of there silver one was the mouth i just now saw the buffalo or whatever it is in that logo im very depressed with myself"
uh... what? you should be depressed with yourself, that logo wasn't very difficult to figure out.

The million dollar answer? We are Sabres FROM Buffalo. Hence why the 1970 logo works so well. Though I'm willing to bet that those of you who are so adamant about the Sabres not having a Buffalo for a logo would much rather vote for the logo from the 3rd jerseys we had for a while, with just the Sabres in them. Keep in mind that the Buffalo fans are very passionate about their sports teams, and as such, the teams are very proud to represent their city. As much as I hate them, that includes the Bills as well.
Someone may wish to inform Buffalo fans that the name of their team is the SABRES. They are NOT the Buffalo Buffaloes. The 1970 logo is the only one that accurately demonstrates the name of the team.
i dont care about no history of their old logo and how it has both a buffalo and sabres...the old logo just looks like crap and and the new one is the best logo in the league by far
Why the hell does everyone hate the logos? the fans didnt care for them at first and now there jeresys are the best selling in the US. so to all of you who hate the sabers...STFU!!!!!
Think long and hard be open minded about this one. The logo is NOT the reason the jersey was number one selling jersey in the league last season...
That slug looks like it could be sold as bait in the Bass Pro Shop Larry Quinn is trying to build over the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium once it's demolished.
Chris -> Just wondering if you were going to add more 'vintage' logos to vote on for the change of logos over the years. I think it's safe to say that every team has changed in one way or another, and you could set it up in a two part process. Vote the best logo per team, then collect all the winners and set up another bracket. Once you have the modern logo champ, then it could face off against the vintage logo champ for the ULTIMATE NHL LOGO. Just a thought to stretch things into the regular season.
i think both the 1970 and the 1996 logos are great logos, the slug on the hand is piece of shit. why is the sabre yellow, why is one horn white and the other is yellow, i see its body but wherre is the legs?...just a few observations that prove this is by far one of the worst logos ever...sabres fans should be ashamed.
for last poster. please see sabres.com message boards and you will see that we already hate the slug. Buffalo fans aren't as stupid as you all think. We hate the slug as much as the next person. We just hate it more because of Larry Quinn, because hes such an idiot.
In other words, YES. WE ARE ASHAMED!
I agree with tose who think the 1970 logo is dumb and looked like it was put together 5 minutes before they unvailed it. Need I say anything about the buffalslug/barney rubbles hair? The best logo they had was the red alternate, or the B with the sword.
o my god
I hate Buffalo with a passion. But I have to say their original logo is by far the best. Anything can beat the golden sperm that they have on their jerseys now.
