Because of a recent fit of rage by the Buffalo natives surrounding the rumored Slugalo sweater, they pushed the announcement ahead to today. The presser isn't available for viewing yet, but here's a quote, from the Sabres official website
Larry Quinn:
We are still committed and enthusiastic about our new uniform and believe that fans will embrace it once they have a chance to actually see it.
They won't officially unveil the "Slugalo" sweater until September. That is, of course, unless they have a trick up their sleeve. We do know that they will be sporting blue and gold instead of red and black.

Rats. Not that I *really* like the Sabres, but I was hoping that the third jersey was going to be their regular one.
Nice to know that I'll still be risking gouging my eyes out whenever I'm watching the Canes duke it out against the Swords, be it on TV or (miraculously) in person. (sighs)
Excellent, love it! » »
