Look at these two differences. Sabres - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Buffalo_Sabres.gif Bison - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LogoBasingstokeBison.jpg

More common place for amateur clubs to rip off other larger franchises. Besides, this is just funny as hell. There is basically no difference other then a few removed lines and colors plus the text alterations from the Bulls.
Haha, good find. This isn't as bad, but I think it's kind of funny nonetheless - Stetson: Michigan State:
<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Can't the Bulls sue?</div> Yeah, but I don't think they really care. The team doesn't rank in nearly 1/20 of what the Bulls earn each year anyway. Plus a different country and sport.
Too bad the Sabres changed their look to become one of the ugliest looking teams in Hockey. They went from: to
I've seen high school or Pop Warner teams use other teams' logos but I've never seen this on the professional level. Looks pretty goofy if you ask me.

Seriously, I hear and read this all the time and though I'm not a huge fan of the new logo I've been over it for some time now. Buffalo had no choice but to use this logo anyway because of the upcoming uniform changes for 2007-08. People have obviously been over the "slug" for some time now because the uniform is sold out everywhere you go with waiting lists of up to 7 months time. It is close to breaking a record for the best selling sports jersey in history and it is only a few months old. I ordered my authentic for 250 bucks in September and it took until two weeks ago to finally arrive. Luckily I ordered mine early and only waited four months. So you know, most Sabres fans are happy the old logo is gone as it was considered as the "goathead." For me personally, the only thing I actually like about the change is going back to the original colors. The team remains the best. Three of their players will start in the All-Star game in a few weeks as well. Anyway this isn't hockey discussion I just figured you'd find that bit of info interesting.
