The opening of NHL training camps is just a few weeks away, and the Buffalo Sabres gave their fans a reason to be excited by bringing back their retro jersey logo.

The New York hockey club announced on Wednesday that it is bringing back its red-and-black "goathead" sweaters as an alternate third jersey for the upcoming 2022-23 campaign. Buffalo made the announcement on social media with a short cartoon that was a bit demonic with hints of a "Stranger Things"-style Upside Down theme.

Black and red is BACK.

The infamous goathead, which the team rocked from 1996-2006, is scheduled to be worn 12 times this upcoming season including its debut in November when the Sabres play on "90s Night" against the St. Louis Blues.
