JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 heres the post from yesterday-- http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/126992-bills-announce-uniform-change/page__view__findpost__p__2105172 Aw man - I had a feeling the guy who said he knew a guy who knew a dude who knew a dude who worked for the Bills was lyin...
BuffaloBaumer Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I do like the Steelers unis, but I don't think that a similar chest patch would work for the Bills logo because as I said, it's too asymmetrical. Regarding the Eagles, the sleeve logos work because the eagle head is a different logo than the helmet wings. The Panthers uniform in your first link with the helmet logo and sleeve logo the same looks silly to me. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Like this?
Marshmallow Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I no it's not the best of work but i'm just showing everyone this to give you an idea, what does everyone think of Buffalo moving forward with this even though it is the sabre's logo but maybe we can twist it up a hair,opinions? Though the execution is terrible, the "idea" to redesign their most valuable branding element is even worse. You see, the Bills logo (Standing or Charging) is not the problem with their uniforms. It's how they over-designed everything else.
joejoebills Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Personally I think that looks horrible. I would like a mix of the new helmet and the throw back uni's.
beggar13 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Fail. Everyone hates the slug, so why would they like this? I appreciate your effort though.

profile Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 terrible, god i hope not. the 70's unis = a huge fail.
LancasterSteve Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) But why not look good while playing? That doesn't make sense to you? Do you really want to write or root for a team known to have the most hideous uniforms in the league. So if they ever become a real team again everyone would say "Thats a great team but those uniforms!" I want a playoff team, but I want to like the uniforms also. Well said! I wouldn't mind seeing Wood in one of those unis. To each his own I guess . I'd rather see T&A I would like to see the red, white & blue of the Super bowl teams. I don't care what Buffalo they put on the helmets, as long is it isn't one laying on its back Edited February 10, 2011 by LancasterSteve
buffaloaggie Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 really, Sabres? everyone hated the flying slug logo, and yet everyone in town was wearing the jerseys, t-shirts, hats, socks whatever because the team was actually -- how do you call it? -- winning, by getting to the Eastern Conference finals twice. i thought winning generated enthusiasm. jw Timing is everything. The slug unis did suck, but since the Sabres were winning, the timing allowed people to accept the slug and buy the jerseys. Since then, losing and the ugliness of the slug caused marketing to go back to the original Sabres logo, and that move has generated even more revenue through merchandise sales. A good jersey will also generate renewed enthusiasm in the team. A #3 draft pick will also generate enthusiasm. This team, making moves mostly dictated by marketing, needs to stay in the news somehow in these slow news days, and keep guys like you busy by reporting on a new jersey for the team.
boyst Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I saw someone saying that they think THESE will be on the field for 2011 on another website, but they didn't give their source. They're definately not fancy but I definately think we'll look like winners.
seq004 Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 He says these are the new unis Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LancasterSteve Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Yes, that is what they are...so what? It's February and the Bills can't do anything to improve the team right now. Our current uniforms blow and I think it's great that they are getting news ones. Having said that, I will still be pissed if they don't make moves to improve this team. Why is it so difficult to separate the two? The marketing department is separate from the personnel department, correct? Is it just a coincidence that ever since Donahoe got rid of our red, white and blue uniforms... that the Bills have sucked, haven't made the playoffs and have become progressively worse? I think the marketing department jinxed the Bills. And ALL the football people went brain dead at the same time. Mark my words, the Bills will never make the playoffs again until the red, white and blue football uniform gods in the football sky are placated
SoggyHog Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 why is it that i must have some sort of hidden agenda, as some here have accused. i went on radio and provided my thoughts: -- wouldn't it be better that the Bills changed their record rather than their uniform? -- this strikes me as a cash grab by the Bills, and i'd certainly hope the team uses the newfound money in luring better players and building a better team. i was sincerely surprised to see how much attention and how much excitement this announcement was receiving -- i mean you'd swear they just re-signed Cornell Green -- given all the cynicism that's surrounded the franchise for, lo, these long dry years. me, i just don't buy these uniform changes any more. they strike me as self-generated fluff events. my opinion. sorry to bore you. jw And I suppose you hang on to all the bad memories of all the girlfriends you have had over a 10yr span. No, you wash your hands of it and hope for a better relationship next time. Just like the current unis. 10 yrs of a bad relationship. Wash our hands of any and ALL memories of that time span. Also, if you've ever spent time in the military, you'd know that when you put your uniform on, it's time to get to work. We all want to look good. When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, your production level goes up. Also, better looking uniforms will attract new and potential fans. There are a lot of people that are not football fans and will root for what attracts them most. Why not have better looking uniforms to potentially increase their customer base? Garbage is still garbage when wrapped in newspaper, but it's received warmer when wrapped in nice paper and a bow. Of course it's a marketing ploy....... football is a business. You of all posters on here should know that. And I'm pretty sure you already do...... you're just being an A**!

NoSaint Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 just throwing it out there -- might we squash this thread, or atleast redo the title and acknowledge this did not come from the bills but was taken from a poster on this board, and is now making the rounds as a bills leak? it seems even after it has been established as totally false, a lot of people are only reading the first post.....
