Sabres president Ted Black had no comment when contacted by The Buffalo News following the overwhelmingly negative reaction to the unveiling of the club’s third jersey yesterday.
For a sample of said reaction, let’s turn to Twitter:
'Remember the car Homer Simpson designed? Well I want that in a jersey'. Said someone in the Buffalo Sabres organization.

The only thing uglier than the roster Brian Burke has to work with is the Buffalo Sabres new 3rd jersey.

"Little heavy on the yellow, Buffalo." Signed, Nashville's mustard jersey.

Some poor kid is going to get that Sabres' third jersey for Christmas.

So strong has the condemnation been that you wonder if the Sabres might go back to the drawing board on this one.
Maybe if the jersey played La Cucaracha when the Sabres scored?”
