Mr. Golisano,





We the undersigned, as fans of the Buffalo Sabres, protest the proposed team logo design for the 2006-2007 season. It is a poorly conceived atrocity that does not reflect the history, tradition, or class of the Buffalo Sabres team or its fans. The logo resembles neither a buffalo nor a sabre. It has been compared to numerous unflattering things, from a hairpiece to a slug. This logo is an embarrassment to the Buffalo Sabres as well as the fans that support them.





We the undersigned choose not to support this logo, and will not purchase any merchandise bearing its likeness. We believe that the team must go back to the drawing board and deliver something better to the fans that have supported this team throughout the years.

    • As a Sens fan, watching them play in round 3 was terrible! The logo is a 'LEAPING SLUG' please bring back the old!

    • The Slug is Hideous... The Classic logo and John Slabyk update are both really classy.

    • i don't even like buffalo sabres at all, but for the sake of the league fix this horrible screw up. BTW: new RBK jerseys are making a mockery of the NHL when its already losing fan base and will ultimatly destroy it if they aren't careful

    • Go back to the classic logo or modernize it. The slug is a dreadful representation of a franchise with such a rich history.

    • Im from Miami, FL, but a big Sabres fan. The current logo is a disgrace to one of the NHL's premier teams. The logo needs to be changed.(John Slabyk's concepts are very convincing)

    • Horrible logo... I like the classic best, but would have settled for the switch back to blue and gold with the more recent logo remaining. This one is just awful to be kind.

    • As a Toronto fan, who am I to comment on your team crest/logo. But as hockey fan, I agree with most of your fans, your current logo is horrible and deserves the attention your hockey fans are crying out for. John Slabyk's design is exactly what needs to be done to fuse the new RBK jersey designs with the classic/traditional Sabres logo. Why mess with a great logo? That said, your current logo is not the worst logo in the NHL...we'll give that honour to Tampa, Carolina, Nashville, Minnesota, Atlanta, Florida, etc. http://sabresnotslugs.com/

    • An updated version of the original Sabres' logo on the current colors is all that is needed to correct this hideous mistake.

    • I did buy a slug jersey. I dont like the logo. Its the laughing stock of the league. The older style unis looked great at the winter classic. Think about how much revenue you would generate in sales if you went back to a logo like that...

    • I wish so much that Slabyk's design was the Sabres logo, the current logo is laughable and embarrasing.

    • I think that the logo that John made is amazing. It updates the old tradiotional logo that we all love and modernizes it. The person that made the slug logo should be forever ban from the city of buffalo and possibly from america all together...

    • The logo must be changed, PLEASE. A slightly updated version of the original logo would look great on the current uniforms. The uniforms are great, the logo is not.

    • I'm not a Sabres fan, but that banana slug that's on their current jerseys is one of the worst in the league. How you go from considering the classic style, which is sharper and competes against the original six logos to this is beyond me.

    • I was a lifelong fan of the Sabres UNTIL this stupid new logo was designed. It was never necessary to redesign the original logo from the 70s. You don't see the Redwings and Canadiens changing logos every few years. I will never be a Sabres fan again until this abomination is changed back to the original logo.
