nucci Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Thank you, Joe Ferguson! The red helmets are fugly. The current uniforms are fugly. The ugliness of the current uniforms has been compounded by the fast that the players somehow got their way a few years back and have been allowed to wear them mis-matched - dark shirt/dark pants, white over white, when in fact, there are stripes integrated in the home and away that only line up right when it's dark shirt/white pants or vice versa. From the press release, I am betting (as well as hoping) for white helmet w/charging buffalo, and something similar to what's been shown from the Nike designs - hopefully without that ridiculous font. As long as it's white helmet and royal blue jerseys, it will be an enormous upgrade. It was Kay Stephenson. Fergy played all but one year of his career with white helmets. The exception being 1984 and he was released before the '85 season.
silvermike Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 If this description is true it would be a huge improvement and I wouldn't hate it by any means, but I wish they wouldn't incorporate the navy. I'm guessing we'll get lighter blue jerseys with some combination of nickel, red, and navy on the stripes on the sleeves. Blue-on-blue might be weird, I'm not sure.
silvermike Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 But here are some possibilities that fit what we know so far: 1.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=33310new.jpg 2.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=122809DbJWH09.jpg 3.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=BillsDBjerseyuni1209.jpg 4.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=5.jpg 5.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=2.jpg 6.) http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=Uniforms5and6copy.jpg I'd say the first one is the best. Of course, we could end up with something completely different.
DwightSchrute Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Pretty cool...thanks for posting! I'd be pretty upset with those other than the first and possibly the third. I really hope they go more classic than futuristic. Great job though!
NaPolian8693 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Thank God I didn't buy that Spiller jersey last year! Hopefully they draft someone that makes me want to buy their new jersey.
DreReed83 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Whats with the LBs and D-lineman running the ball like that? Anywho, I'd take the first one.
dpberr Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I like the first design. The third design intrigues me.
silvermike Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I like the standing Buffalo at the neck of the jersey. That's a good idea. One more to look at: http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/kk238/GWScherer/?action=view¤t=013010new.jpg I like the helmet design; I think we do know that it's going to have a charging Buffalo, though.

NickelCity Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2011/02/10/exclusive-details-on-the-new-bills-uniforms/ For those who missed the above link: Ladies and gentlemen, our long national nightmare is over. Confession: I’ve known about this change since early December, when a little birdie told me about it but swore me to secrecy. So if anyone recently spotted me with a big smile on my face for no particular reason, now you know why. Everyone wants to know what the new threads will look like. I don’t have any visuals, but I do have a description from the little birdie, which he’s willing to share now that the Bills have gone public with the news. So here it is — a Uni Watch exclusive: These new Bills uniforms are clearly modeled after the later Simpson-era design, including the white helmet, but they’ve been updated to include a tiny amount of navy blue trim. 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. Edited February 10, 2011 by NickelCity
kdub Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Cool Mike. 1 or 3 for me. Count me in for both also. Edit: Actually, on second thought, gimme 1. Edited February 10, 2011 by kdub
billsfreak Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 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. One question, if there is no new CBA, will any current players even be at the unveiling like last time? Something tells me they might be forced to avoid it, like they are trying to get the rookies to stay away from the draft if there is no new deal. Might be Jim Kelly by himself this time around.
Dude Man Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Nice work on all of them. I, too, like the first.
UConn James Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I'd say the first one is the best. Of course, we could will end up with something completely different. Fixed.
BuffaloBaumer Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I just hope these idiots NEVER put the blue on blue again.....I mean seriously, get a clue to whoever thought that was a good idea. I know they won't do it but I would love the logo SOMEWHERE on the jersey (shoulder, chest patch, sleeve,....)

CodeMonkey Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 As for the money, merchandise is shared revenue. "License fees" for jerseys are shared revenue. But I believe the raw profit from jerseys sold at the Bills store (minus license fee) goes into Ralphs pocket. At least that is my understanding.
muffmonster Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I like the first design. The third design intrigues me. I like the simplistic scheme of number 3 very much, would only ask for the standing buffalo to be incorporated somewhere (if possible) like it was incorporated into the first design.
Chandemonium Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I just hope these idiots NEVER put the blue on blue again.....I mean seriously, get a clue to whoever thought that was a good idea. I know they won't do it but I would love the logo SOMEWHERE on the jersey (shoulder, chest patch, sleeve,....) The problem with the logo on the jersey is that its asymmetrical. Have you ever seen the cheapo walmart bills jerseys? they have the logo as a chest patch just under the collar and it looks horrible. I wouldn't want it on the sleeves or shoulders either because its already on the sides of the helmet, and having it again a few inches lower makes the profile too redundant IMO. If they want to brand the jersey somehow, I think the best way to do it would be to have a small patch under the collar that says Bills in the block letter font the team uses.
NaPolian8693 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Everything beyond the first design are horrible. The last two even look like the Patriots.
