SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 A legitimate link to a picture of the new helmet. (Not Peter Pan guy.) Confirms what other reports/leaks had been saying about the new helmet. The Navy trim looks sharp.
Guffalo Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I was hoping the logo would be larger, more prominent. It seems as though the earliest white helmets with charging buffalo were small decals, the later versions and then red helmets came out with a larger version. I like the larger decal of the charging buffalo. Just my 2 cents

I like the larger decal of the charging buffalo. Just my 2 cents The charging buffalo got much bigger when they switched to the red helmets. I too like the helmet, but it would be better imo if the buffalo were as big as it has been on the red helmets. Did anything change from the early 80's helmets, it doesn't appear so.
billsfaninvgs Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I hope that's not it..... I like the color scheme but that buffalo looks tiny.....
nucci Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I like the pic with Fred Jackson. The logo looks bigger on the helmet in these pics. http://www.bustingpacks.com/fun-stuff/new-bills-helmet Edited June 15, 2011 by nucci
udonkey Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Per the Sportslogos blog, this is a replica helmet. Perhaps it is a photo of a mini helmet, which might not have all of the exact details (decal size, etc) perfect?
FluffHead Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 agreed that the logo needs to be larger. hopefully it just looks smaller on the replicas and is larger on the real life versions. other than that it looks nice. notice there is still a navy blue stripe on both sides of the royal blue stripe.
Van_phelaN1 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Just a side note, it might also be that the logo "appears smaller" against the white background. With the red helmet, there is the white outline of the charging buffalo, with the white hemlet it blends in so that the blue portion of the Buffalo is the edge. Does that make sense to anyone?? Maybe a light gray or silver for the outline against the white would help?? a little out of place though in the color scheme. Oh well either way we will know for sure soon. The stripe looks sharp.
eball Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I like the pic with Fred Jackson. The logo looks bigger on the helmet in these pics. http://www.bustingpacks.com/fun-stuff/new-bills-helmet That's a mock up -- not an actual photo. The socks are completely different too, which is a giveaway.
Scrappy Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 White color should help the team stay cooler in the sun, so functionality with form. I love it.
Homey D. Clown Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 What a tremendous missed opportunity to have gone back to the 2009/2010 throw-backs. the 70's unis are just not my favorite. To me the team never looked better than the 2009 opener against the paytoilets.
John from Riverside Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I guess I am in the minority that loved the outfits the way they were.......

Mark Long Beach Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 In the comments someone noted that the stripe is the same as on the invitation to the uniform party: Which I think is a Nice touch. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2730/5785993841_46cf2f316f.jpg
eball Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I guess I am in the minority that loved the outfits the way they were....... Yes, I would agree that ONE constitutes a minority.
the_franchise Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) The logo looks like a mini-helmet sticker. Has Ralph got that cheap? I'm thinking the logo wont be that small though. It still looks good and like Bart Scott said... Can't wait! Edited June 16, 2011 by the_franchise
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I think it's hilarious that all of us Zubaz-wearing, mullet-styled Bills fans are making aesthetic value judgements on the new unis… I had no idea what a fashionable bunch of people we are.
