The Sabres’ marketing team had a great way of unveiling the third jersey, kicking off with a 30-minute live video on Twitter featuring three goats – yes, real, live goats – in a spare locker room at KeyBank Center. Sabretooth even popped in for a few minutes, which seemed to (understandably) confuse the animals momentarily.

Who knew that watching some goats walk around a locker room for 30 minutes could be so mindlessly entertaining?
The black and red goathead logo was previously announced as returning back in September, with this video full of highlights from the original goathead era:
