Dark Mode Concept: Dark Sward

13 comments

1. Looks a whole lot like our 2010 jerseys. Midnight blue instead of royal. I think I speak for the whole fanbase when I say we prefer the current royal.

   Having said that, the stripes may be sacrilege on the first picture, but I dig it for an alternate.

2. I like the idea. Though I think you need to differentiate it from the 2010s era jersey better. I feel like if you went entirely black, blue, and white that would be really interesting

3. I really like that first one, very nice

4. I’d like an all black and white kit even jersey and logo black and white that’d be clean

6. I really like these!

7. A “dark mode” jersey is an interesting concept but there needs to be a bit more blue sticking around to keep the jersey unique to the team and even so in a lot of cases jerseys done in this style will end up looking more like another team that primarily uses black. The first jersey needs the blue field inside the logo to remain, the second has so little blue and the yellow stands out so much that it feels like a Bruins or Penguins jersey. Coupled with the fact that Buffalo has a black alternate jersey this would ultimately be a difficult concept to execute in a way that felt unique without losing the identity you are altering.

8. I’d love the first one if the logo remained blue

9. 2nd one just looks like the Bruins jersey but with a Sabres crest.

10. Do you mean “Dark SWORD”?

11. Ooh that first one is nice

    Bit more contrast seems needed

    So much darkness

12. No. Awful. Slug level bad. Stick with our colours, blue and gold.
