‘Per WGR 550’s Sal Capaccio, who spoke with Bills Chief Operating Officer Ron Raccuia, the Bills will not don the red helmets this year because to do so, the helmet would have to match the team’s throwback uniform or color rush uniform. The Bills’ throwback uniform is worn with the helmet featuring the standing Buffalo, eliminating that possibility, while the team’s color rush uniform is red, and a look with red pants, a red jersey and a red helmet goes against the team’s preferred look, per Capaccio. Therefore, the Bills will either wait until the NFL changes its uniform policy or until the team decides to make a change to their alternate uniform.’
