It is the exact same shade of blue for the current jerseys. The flash makes it seem lighter than it is. The crest also matches the blue of the jersey, it's just the twill of the logo is more reflective than the polyester of the jersey.

Zoom, I participated in the slug replacement program... And here are pics of my third...arrived today! Got to leave work early to vote and this was on the door step. Looks like the real deal Reebok Premier to me but I'm no expert. I love it!

No need to...I just bought a Sabres XL...shipped total is 60 bucks after the 10% off eBay discount code. Let's hope for the best! I'll take detailed photos!

RBK's official comments back in October 07... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto.../?page=rss& Reebok issued a statement concerning their new uniforms that are being used in the NHL this season: It reads as follows: After working with NHL players, teams, and equipment managers to gather feedback on the Rbk Edge uniform system, Reebok has decided to provide an alternative jersey to the players who request it. Many NHL players are satisfied with the current Rbk Edge jersey, but since the start of the season we have received player feedback about the jersey’s moisture management and durability. Based on this feedback, Reebok will provide players with the option to wear a version with slight sizing and fabrication adjustments. In the alternate version, one fabric has been replaced with an air-knit fabric and the bead-away water repellency technology has been removed. Both jerseys will continue to offer up to four performance materials, including Reebok's PlayDry moisture-wicking technology and a stretch mesh for increased range of motion and ventilation. There will be no visual difference between the jerseys. The newly designed comfort necklines, jersey cut lines, anatomical fit and team designs will remain identical. Retail versions of the jersey also will remain unchanged. Reebok has taken this customized approach with other sports, providing multiple cuts of jerseys to professional athletes based on their individual preferences and performance needs. The performance benefits of the Rbk Edge uniform system were proven during testing last season with 28 of 30 NHL teams. We are pleased that overall player feedback has been very positive. We will continue to work with NHL players to ensure they have the best hockey uniform possible.

Yes it is, it was a preview picture but I will be getting the real deal later this week.

I'm waiting for it and should get it by the end of the month...

# 77, I like your style. You were thinking something like this, because I was too.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcustomorderjerseys There are white ones now, and I was sent a photo of a complete personalized jersey as well. Wow.

1000% legit.

I still don't accept it, but seeing these helps me ignore the slug a little bit better. Hopefully these nice concepts will stick around for awhile too. He is working on possible t-shirts and hats with the logo, and is switching to embroidered crests vice tackle twill around the end of the month along with the possiblitlity of a smaller logo going on the shoulders as well. Four more available now including a Medium and XXL. They look friggin sweet and is my idea of what the return to blue and gold should have looked like. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcustomorderjerseys

I'm puzzled...RBK has been working on their form fitting jerseys since the 1970's and even partnered with Hollywood during those early design efforts... Take a look. http://sabresnotslugs.blogspot.com/2007/08...rm-designs.html
