The Buffalo Sabres new third jersey was universally panned when it was revealed this summer, but last night it made its glorious debut against the Detroit Red Wings. Opinions were easy to come by, so we gathered some of our favorites from around the internet to figure out what the world thought of the new sweaters.

#sabres jerseys make them look like a beer league team. The Wings jerseys make them look even worse. #nhl

The #sabres third jersey should come with the ” May cause seizures” warning

Can’t decide if I’m rooting for the team in gold or the team in blue tonight. #sabres

The Sabres should really just play the whole game under this light. pic.twitter.com/vkfmwzNaaj

I am only 70% kidding when I say that if you lose to a team intentionally wearing this, you should fire your coach pic.twitter.com/DIWzPRjjeh

Email from Buffalo Sabres: SABRES THIRD JERSEY HAS YOUR NAME ON IT Email to Buffalo Sabres: SURELY THIS IS SOME SORT OF MISTAKE

Someone thought this was a good idea. More than one person. I can’t get over that. #Sabres

@diebytheblade it’s really unfair to try and single out a “worst part” with the #Sabres new #turdjersey

Many people noted how the jerseys matched the product on the ice
I don’t get what everyone is complaining about, these Sabres jerseys match the rest of the season perfectly.

I really dont like the Sabres third jersey but they’re relevant because they look like practice jerseys and they play like a practice squad

The Sabres third jersey was built like the team; intentionally bad so that way whatever comes next looks fantastic in comparison

But it’s not all bad – there are people that want them!
The Sabres third jersey is horrifically awesome. I want one because I’m a masochist and want people to make fun of me for wearing it.

So that’s the final verdict, then, huh?
I’ll take jersey takes more seriously if I know the person has never said “OMGZ ZUBAZ ARE SO COOL.” Or something similar to that.
