Ryan S. Clark of The Athletic join Buffalo Sabres TV host
Brian Duff for a conversation about, but not limited to, the meaning of Black History Month, race in hockey, how to grow the sport at the youth level, and the challenges they ve faced over the course of their careers.
Watch the full roundtable here:
This year, the Sabres commissioned local artist
Edreys Wajed to design a T-shirt for the Sabres that paid tribute to Black History Month, and that logo is featured in the background of the roundtable video.
Wajed landed on a design that paid homage to Val James, who became the first Black player born in the United States to appear in an NHL game when he made his Sabres debut on Nov. 1, 1981.
Wajed s art is woven into the fabric of Buffalo. He was among the artists who in 2017 collaborated on The Freedom Wall at Michigan Avenue and East Ferry Street, a collection of 28 vivid portraits depicting key figures to civil and human rights. His Love Black mural at 712 Main Street, commissioned by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery Public Art Initiative last year, is unmistakable in message.
But beyond his public collaborations, Wajed is a multi-faceted artist whose talents have included jewelry design, music production, barbering, and public speaking.
Sabres.com sat down with Wajed to discuss his career, his relationship with Buffalo, and his design for the Sabres. (The conversation has been edited.)
