Sabres Alternate Logo
The Buffalo Sabres are a professional ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York. They have been part of the National Hockey League since 1970 and are one of the most successful teams in history. Throughout their history, they have had several alternate logos used to represent them at various times.
The first logo for the team was introduced when they joined the NHL in 1970 and featured a charging buffalo with crossed swords behind it. This logo was used until 1997 when an updated version was created featuring an abstract buffalo head with horns pointing up toward a blue sky background representing hope and optimism for future success on the ice. In 2006, another redesign occurred, which saw this same image being tweaked slightly to incorporate more modern design elements while maintaining its original look and feel.
Finally, after over 10 years without any changes or updates to their alternate logos, The Sabres unveiled yet another new design back at the start of the 2019-2020 season, which features two sabers crossing each other diagonally within a shield shape surrounded by stars as well as navy blue trimming around it all symbolizing strength & unity amongst players & fans alike. All these different designs throughout time show how much effort has gone into ensuring that The Sabres always maintain their unique identity no matter what era or trend is currently popular among other sports franchises across North America today!
