TSNBDSC Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ... thank God ... ... bring back the red end zones too ...
BillsPhan Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I just got an e-mail that they are making a change. About time. This is the e-mail: Yeah I got a text with the same news from WGR. That's nice, I hate these ugly things they've been wearing anyway. However, this time, I hope the coaches don't allow the players to vote to continue wearing the "punkish" dark on dark for home games - whatever the "home" uni's are designed to be, that's how they should be worn. By the way, let me know when the Bills send you a letter (since I no longer have season tickets), saying something like: Dear Peter, As a loyal season ticket holder, we just wanted to let you know we will no longer draft players like Aaron Maybin over Brian Orapko, C.J. Spiller over Clay Matthews, or Leodis McKelvin over Joe Flacco, ever, ever again. Yours Truly, The Buffalo Bills
nick in* england Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I've gone to the trouble of illustrating what I think they should do.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ...we will no longer draft players like Aaron Maybin over Brian Orapko, C.J. Spiller over Clay Matthews, or Leodis McKelvin over Joe Flacco, ever, ever again. Yours Truly, The Buffalo Bills Matthews was drafted in 2009, same draft as Orakpo and Maybin. You could go with Bulaga maybe in that example? I've gone to the trouble of illustrating what I think they should do. Nice work Nick! Better than what we have now, for sure. Anything that would go back towards a classic, simple design is better than the current mess.
Chandler#81 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 If they have an unveiling at mini-camp (lockout notwithstanding) like they did for the Throwbacks, we should have a buch of barrel fires in the parking lot to burn the current screwnies.
Drifter Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Apologies if these have already been established as "not it", but these turned up. I like the sleeker look and the 'undershirt' thing. Big improvement, even if this isn't 'it'. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/525776-2012-nfl-jerseys-by-nike-analysis/page/5 I checked out the other possible team uniforms on the site. I don't like the Patriot or Dolphin unis. I also can't see the Steelers ever changing their helmet from black to gold.
Beerball Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 If they have an unveiling at mini-camp (lockout notwithstanding) like they did for the Throwbacks, we should have a buch of barrel fires in the parking lot to burn the current screwnies. Maybin has been a huge disappointment, but I wouldn't advocate burning him in a trash barrel. As a mod you should conduct yourself in a more professional manner.
Acantha Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The logistics of sticking with a red helmet make a lot of sense and help pick out our WR's, too. Sure, but it helps the other team just as much.
shrader Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 and here are the alternates... I don't think I ever paid much attention to NFL socks, but why not put a couple red stripes in those ones?
KOKBILLS Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I've got a baaad feeling about this. Never gets old...
Billshank Redemption Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 ill be honest these past 9 years have done jack **** im welcome to change if that means getting new unis and maybe getting are other "uniform curse as ill call it" off our back im all for it its time
dgrid Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) I've gone to the trouble of illustrating what I think they should do. trade for Payton Manning, and line him up at DE w/ Bruce's old # ? Edited February 9, 2011 by dgrid
Indy Dave Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Here is the blog post from BuffaloBills.com, including a photo of the new uniform: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2011/02/09/bills-uniform-change/ Bastard!
dpberr Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Does anybody know who has the final say on uniforms? Is it the team solely? Or does the NFL provide significant input and the final say on the decision? I'd love if the Bills rolled out a simple throwback design. However, I haven't been impressed with any of the new uniforms of other teams the last couple years.
JPicc2114 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I got a feeling the helmet color is changing back to white
Ramius Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I'd actually like the helmet color to stay red as opposed to white. Its a unique identifier. Us and the chiefs are the only 2 current teams with red helmets. The AFL throwbacks with red helmets are fine with me.
Zulu Cthulhu Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I checked out the other possible team uniforms on the site. I don't like the Patriot or Dolphin unis. I also can't see the Steelers ever changing their helmet from black to gold. Except the steelers used to have gold (yellow) helmets. The black came later. They even wear the yellow helmets occasionally as throwbacks.
zow2 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 This is great news. Now i hope they can finally get back to wearing dark jersey's and white pants at home again. It looks so much more professional than blue/blue. For some reason the Bills refuse to put any logo or identifier on their jersey's. I hope they add something to the jersey with this uniform tweak. Keep an eye out on this thread from this logo site message board. If any picture is leaked, these guys are always first to pounce on it and post it. http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=78507&st=0
