But the Knights aren’t impressed.
“GOLD!?! ON A HOCKEY JERSEY?!? WHO COULD HAVE POSSIBLY THOUGHT OF THAT?!?!?” the team tweeted out in response.

The Sabres will wear the alternate jersey for 13 games during the 2019-20 season, according to Buffalo News.
Adding gold to sweaters for the team’s 50th anniversary is a common practice in the NHL world. In 2016, the Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings wore 50th anniversary sweaters that featured multiple gold accents.
