This upcoming season will be the Kadarius Toney Jersey ' 50th, a milestone that they're preparing to celebrate in a variety of ways.

The Sabres will wear the jersey during 13 home games next season. Between the gold trim and the white gloves, it's hard not to get some vibes from this new look. But overall, it's a pretty solid one-year special. The 50th anniversary jersey wasn't the only bit of uniform news to come out of Buffalo this week, though. The team also announced Thursday that they'll be reverting to royal blue as their primary color starting with the 2020-21 season. Coming 2020-21: royal blue. But this year, were going gold.

The team has worn navy blue and gold since 2006, though Mike Ford Jr. Jersey they've mixed in some royal blue alternate looks since then. However, fans have been clamoring for the team to go back to royal blue full-time (for good reason) and Tulu Griffin Jersey they'll finally get their wish in 2020. The team hasn't unveiled exactly what they'll be wearing when they make the switch, but it'll likely be something similar to what we've seen in the past.

The "Goathead" jersey is certainly a polarizing one, but it would make for an interesting change of pace as an alternate. Plus, '90s nostalgia is all the rage these days. Just saying! In any case, Buffalo has some exciting fresh looks in their future, and that should come as welcome news for a franchise that has been stuck with a rather dull look as they try to turn the corner.
