    How difficult would it be to look into the licensing issue? Not sure what year, but they have been on a previous NHL game

      @Th0tS_N_T0tS Koho made the res altsrnarws back thwn and im pretty sure they no longer wxist ans wernt obsorbes like ccm or bauer or anything. Im not sure id the blaxks were roo but i dont think rheyre koho w. Back then teams had different jersey manufacturers as opposed to know where Adidas makes every twams jerseys. But circa w0w2-23 season fen days after rhey first wore them their newest black alternates havnt been put into the hame. The reverse retros were in b4 a week went by. Ive been dying for years tobsee my sabres wearing blackbin nhl game and still with a current alternate its not in there. Theyve only wore them once wjere i think the reverse retros were worn twice b4 yhey got added...heres hoping.

    Any updates? I've been waiting to see this for years. Even the original royal blues were never in there but that exactly isn't an issue for '21. Lets get those 99-06 sabres jerseys in there

      Sorry, but we don't have any details on what jerseys are coming to NHL 21. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
