Hidden buffalo in old jersey

April 12, 2018

From 1996-2006 the Buffalo Sabres were in their black and red era with the goat head logo. Many fans still love those jerseys even after Buffalo went back to blue and gold.

Just today, after over a decade since they’ve been changed, Pete Blackburn of CBS Sports pointed out that there is a hidden buffalo head among the white space on the front of the jersey.

I’m somehow just now finding out that the old Sabres jersey was designed to resemble the shape of a Buffalo’s head and now I love it even more pic.twitter.com/XFonefWCRu

Were you aware of this before? And does it make you like or dislike the jersey more?

I founded Buffalo Hockey Central in 2008 and have poured hours and hours into this site. Luckily, we have a great team of writers and designers who have helped keep this up and running despite a ton of out-of-pocket costs. We do this because we enjoy it, and we're desperate to see the Sabres win the Cup someday, but they have to make the playoffs first.
