Now that a discussion has begun . . .
I own:
-Atlanta Flames 1972 "media" jersey (recieved by my father in 1972 when he designed their logo when the team was founded), number 5, signed by Curt Bennett (when he was the assistant coach of Atlanta Knights). Red jersey, in father's hands for the forseeable future.
-Atlanta Knights replica, black
-Atlanta Thrashers white
-Atlanta Thrashers red/navy

On order (on shipping)
-Atlanta Flames (modern replica, now one I will WEAR!!!) in Red.

I actually like the dark ones generally, but some of the whites look better on some team designs.

In the case of Buffalo, there is a HUGE fan push for the "old" logo, but I think they should so a "modernized" version instead. Imaging the crossed sabers alternate of a couple years ago, with a similar style bison at the top.
The design is aimed at coordinating with Reebox's new jersey design. It was SUPPOSED to be introduced simultaniously, BUT the jersey got a unanimous thumbes down by the team owners. However, I will be surprised if the teams and fans do not like anything that is too far of a departure from the "traditional" ones. I like the look of the old one. Also, note how many of the newer intoduced ones (like Atlanta's own "blueland" home jerseys), have TIE necks-the VERY old style.
