jw- I never called you condescending or boorish, and was under the assumption that all of my posts were civil. I thought we were having "reasonable discourse." I understand that you are responding to many posters who disagree or take umbrage with your initial post, so I assume that some of those remarks were not directed at me. My "teasing" comment wasn't a personal attack, I was just surprised at your choice of words ("style over substance"), after you acknowledged the 'not mutually exclusive' point/statements. I hope you didn't take it as such. I don't view this as a win/lose game, I just enjoy talking about the Bills. I hope no one actually insinuated that you needed to apologize for anything? EDIT: It just boils down to our disagreement over this, obviously . Agree to disagree. I'm excited to have (hopefully) better looking/more classic Bills jerseys than the current ones. You're not excited, and that's fine. Go Bills.

Though I, along with many of the posters, have pointed out that getting new uniforms and achieving substantive change on the football field are not mutually exclusive, you continue to make remarks like this. Yes, the uniform change is a stylistic change. It is not, however, style over substance. If that were the case, this uniform change would take the place of any attempts to get better during this offseason. Apparently you don't like the uniform change, fair enough. I know that as a writer, especially one that goes on public record, you're going to make your argument and have every right to back it up. That's a good thing, and adds to what makes this forum great. At this point, however, you're just teasing us. You know that a changed uniform has no impact on what the Bills will do to get better. It will neither help them nor hurt them in any significant manner. I'm happy the Bills are changing uniform designs. I want the Bills to improve on the field even more. Hope you stick around, I have enjoyed many of your posts in the past.

Kelly gives his early perspective on the draft

+1! Oh god, I can recall everything from that fateful day -
+1 Thanks for compiling these, the first one is great. The rest are a bit too...i dunno

For those who missed the above link: The "later Simpson-era" design: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5430804953_ff52f915ca_o.png I'm trying to imagine a navy trim, but I just can't imagine in on the home jerseys. Maybe it's only on the white pants/away jersey. Food for thought.
-
Unfortunately, I'm thinking this way as well. I wish they'd just give us something simple like the OP's design. Can't wait until they're unveiled
-
Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part to imagine them being released prior to the draft. As we have the 3rd pick though, I was under the impression that we might want to give our top pick (if he is invited to the draft) a new uniform.
-
I would have to imagine it should be before the draft. Per Fred Jackson the date has been set but he doesn't know if he is authorized to release it.

I don't care what they're wearing if they win the Super Bowl. Given the choice, I'd prefer a classic Bills uniform in this hypothetical scenario in which where the Bills win the Super Bowl. Not given this choice, I'd still die a happy man as the Bills, in electric pink duds, will have won the Super Bowl. I fail to see how being excited that our beloved Bills are changing uniforms from the current ones that are disliked almost unanimously is not understandable.
-
It certainly does, and I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. Again, as on the field production and new uniforms aren't mutually exclusive, why isn't changing to a new (hopefully more classic) uniform reason for excitement?
-
I think it goes without saying that any Bills fan would undoubtedly prefer a better Bills football team than a new uniform. However, as they're not mutually exclusive, changing from our current/awful uniforms is reason to be excited/interested in my book.
-
Fred Jackson: "I can honestly say this. In the 5 yrs I've been in Buff, there hasn't been a guy (including myself) that liked the current Uni's!!" Also, I never wear jerseys, so I don't have a dog in that fight. I just want the Bills to look like they once did (uniforms, and more importantly, on-field production)
-
I would be upset if we drafted any of those 4. Blaine Gabbert is the most over-hyped media creation to come around in a long time.
-
http://www.buffalobills.com/ Cool little intro-page. Man I'm excited. EDIT: I am excited because I despise our current uniforms. If they are anything like our past designs I will be happy. Those are the Bills teams of my childhood/what most Bills fans identify with.
-
Man i hope our jerseys don't have any shoulder plate color change or anything of the sort. Just give me the old ones from mid 70s or the 90s. Simplicity is everything.

Saundena - thank you for posting this! Hopeful - I have never used twitter so i don't really understand. Anybody have links? I am also relying on streaming Thanks!

Between your join date, thread about Maybin, and this post, you're just begging to be taken seriously.

Prepare yourself, the Jets will win it all

Man I hope not. -
That piece by Reilly was idiotic. I lived in Denver during the Cutler years through a few months ago. Cutler being traded from Denver had NOTHING to do with any "boorish and unprofessional behavior." I disagree that he displayed any of that; it was clear that McDaniels wanted his own QB and his own team - he wanted nothing from the Shanny regime. I whole heartedly supported Cutler through that whole debacle, and stand by my position. Bronco fans will buy anything that their organization feeds them, so I was not surprised when I was suddenly the only one in Denver on Cutler's side. As far as his persona, he just doesn't try to put on a false face for endorsements. More power to him.

I think Ponder will slide to the 4th or 5th-and I'd love to take him there. Tremendous leader, hope he can stay healthy
-
In Chan's interviews since the season has ended, he has made it seem like we will see at least as much 4-3 as 3-4.

I think Dareus will be the pick as well, but you just never know with the Bills. (I'd prefer dareus over bowers, too)
