The Buffalo Sabres wordmark logo has gone through several changes throughout the years, particularly in relation to the Buffalo Sabres Primary logo. The first iteration of this logo was introduced in 1970 when the team joined the NHL as an expansion franchise. This original design featured a blue and yellow shield with white “Sabres” text and two crossed swords at its center. It also included four stars representing each division within their conference at that time – Adams, Norris, Patrick, and Smythe Divisions.

In 1996-97 season saw another new version of this iconic logo being created for use by home and away jerseys; this one had more of an abstract feel than its predecessor, which used actual symbols such as swords or stars for decoration purposes only. This second version features a stylized buffalo head inside a navy blue circle surrounded by gold trimming; underneath is written “Buffalo Sabres” in white font against a black background, while above is seen another set of words - “Established 1970" - to commemorate their inaugural year in NHL history (1970).

Today's current Buffalo Sabres wordmark logo debuted during the 2006-07 season when they switched back from using third jersey designs every year since the 1997-98 campaign until then; however, some aspects were kept unchanged, like the colors scheme (blue/yellow/white) or typeface used for writing out "Sabres." As such, we can see how much importance the organization places on preserving tradition while making necessary adjustments whenever needed. Hence, fans never get bored looking at the same thing over again!
