BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The Red and Black jerseys are back.

The Buffalo Sabres made a long-awaited announcement Wednesday that third jerseys resembling the ’90s era “goat head” uniforms will return this season.

The actual design of the jersey, however, was not yet released.

“This season, the team will wear the third jersey, modeled after the primary uniforms the team wore from 1996 until 2006, for 12 home games during the 2022-23 campaign,” the Sabres said. “The new uniform will be fully revealed in early November. Stay tuned for details regarding on-sale dates for the jersey.”

The team did release the dates the jerseys will be worn. They debut on Wednesday, Nov. 23 against St. Louis during a ’90s Night promotion and will be worn for a dozen games in total.
