Game Eighteen Open Thread: Sabres at Bruins

Hot off the presses:

The Buffalo Sabres announced today they will debut their new third jersey on Wednesday, November 26 against Boston. Game time is 7 p.m.

This will be the first time the new jerseys will be worn in a game, after being unveiled to the public on September 20. The jersey will be worn 15 times at home, and once on the road (Jan. 1 at Toronto).

Fans will be able to purchase the new third jersey at the Sabres Store inside HSBC Arena beginning at 10 a.m. on November 26. The store will have blank and lettered replica jerseys available for purchase. Pre-orders for the new uniforms were taken after their September debut, and distribution will also begin on November 26. Customers that pre-ordered will be called or emailed when their jersey is available for pick-up.

A blank replica will retail for $124, and a lettered replica will sell for $179. For a blank authentic jersey the price will be $295, while a lettered authentic will cost $350. All prices include tax.

The tentative schedule to wear the jerseys can be found below.
