Black and red is back.

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that the team will wear its black and red third jersey for 15 games during the 2023-24 season.

The jersey, which is modeled after the primary uniforms the Sabres wore from 1996 until 2006, will make its season debut Oct. 21 against the New York Islanders for the team’s Back in Black and Red theme night.
