Biggest. Wasted. Opportunity. Ever.

The mid-90s brought about a glut of teams redesigning their jerseys into just stupid concoctions that would make the Arena Football League blush. Remember the "Teal/Purple phase"?

The Buffalo Sabres were one of those teams, switching from a blue and gold logo they had used since the inception of the franchise, to a red and black Xtreme snarling buffalo head.

The team announced it would return to the old jerseys as an alternate this year, but have promised a new logo in the old team colors. The new logo can be seen here. It has been compared to everything from Barney Rubble's hair on the Flintstones to a banana to a possessed slug with horns.

I laughed when I saw it, but then realized, "Wait. It's the NHL. This should be expected."
