The Sabres wore royal blue jerseys from their start in 1970 all the way through the 1995-96 season before switching to the famous black and red 'goathead' jerseys.
Since 2006 the Sabres have sported navy blue and yellow uniforms, and haven't changed their jerseys since the 2010-11 season, the last time the Sabres were in the playoffs.
Here's how you can pre-order them.
