Best: Original royal blue (1970-1996 and current day)
The Sabres brought back this classic look for a reason. After trying a different color scheme, a different logo and a different shade of blue, this jersey has proven to be timeless.

Worst: 2013-15 yellow alternate
Then Sabres president Ted Black said of this alternate jersey, “If it’s a turd burger, I’ll have to eat it.” And thus the “turd burger” nickname for these jerseys was born. Yellow as a primary color for a Sabres jersey hasn’t been attempted since. — Matthew Fairburn
