papazoid Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 just got a notice... season ticket holders invited to a " uniform launch event"on Friday June 24th from 6:30pm - 10:30pm at the Ralph. live band, on field access (new turf ?) , jills, ...and of course the new jersey will be on sale. ya have to order complimentary tickets.
eball Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I received the notice as well. Perhaps this was announced in anticipation of a new CBA? That June 7 date has been floated around...scheduling the unveiling on the 24th gives them some wiggle room. In any event, it will be great to see the new unis! Edited June 1, 2011 by eball

I think they were already unveiled about a month ago on a video game?
billsfaninvgs Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Can't wait to see all the pictures online.... Hopefully they will get a new CBA done next week
ericwza Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I remember the last time they had a uniform unveiling event. Jim Kelly announced, "the future face of the franchise - JP LOSMAN!!!!!" That traumatic memory makes me less pumped up for this event. Plus football doesn't even exist right now, which also gets me less pumped up.
eball Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I think they were already unveiled about a month ago on a video game? Do you try really, really hard to be douchy, or does it come naturally?
Beerball Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Do you suppose that they will have former players model them or will they use replacement models? (unless the prediction of 6/7 holds true of course)
eball Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Do you suppose that they will have former players model them or will they use replacement models? (unless the prediction of 6/7 holds true of course) The announcement says Bills alumni will be present -- although having an overweight former player model a football uniform doesn't necessarily sound like a good idea.
T master Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I just really hope they don't go back to the white helmets not a good look !! The red ones look much better !!
Jack D. Ripper Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Sources at One Bills Drive whisper that Michael Jasper will model the new uniform while standing atop the Field House swatting at clouds of circling biplanes.
Van_phelaN1 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I just really hope they don't go back to the white helmets not a good look !! The red ones look much better !! We already know they are going back to the white helmet with the charging buffalo. Sorry but I think you have to be prepared for disappointment. I have always liked the white helmet with charging buffalo the most. I think it is because I was born in 1984 and can only remember the red helmets as a kid but always saw the old pictures and videos of OJ churning up yards in it. Just looks classy IMO. Still I do like the red helmets, I have known them for so long
dib Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Maybe they can get the Jills to model the painted on version of the Uni's. Or not.
UConn James Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) This date was mentioned by someone on the Chris Creamer site a few weeks ago, actually. ON EDIT: that person said June 25th. Guess they might've nixed it as a Saturday event in favor of a Friday night.... And from all the things they're promoting, it looks like they're only hoping that there to be a CBA deal in place by then. I just really hope they don't go back to the white helmets not a good look !! The red ones look much better !! Well, you're sure to be disappointed then. The switch to a white helmet was confirmed in the Bills press release back in Feb. Edited June 1, 2011 by UConn James
PromoTheRobot Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 It just so happens I'll be in Buffalo that day. But now I have an even bigger choice to make. Do I go to this event, the Bisons game, Dark Star Orchestra at the Harbor, or Stephen Page at the canal in Lockport? Buffalo, a town with nothing happening. PTR
McD Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I think (I should say hope) that the new uni combination with the white helmets will look a lot better in real life to those who dont like it, as opposed to what they've seen on a few video game stills.
Ennjay Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Perhaps this was announced in anticipation of a new CBA? Sorry to be the one to -- hey, hold those corn flakes still. I think it means the opposite: it's as long as they want to wait for new jersey sales to start without a new CBA. That is, if there's no CBA by 6/24 they'll just start selling the shirts regardless.
Buftex Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I just really hope they don't go back to the white helmets not a good look !! The red ones look much better !! White helmet with charging buffalo > white helmet with still buffalo > red helmet with any buffalo on it!
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I think they were already unveiled about a month ago on a video game? Either this was an abjectly failed attempt at humor or you are just being a miserable prick... again. Do us all a favor and don't pass on your shat attitude to any offspring. Thank you.

Fitz's Beard Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 White helmet with charging buffalo > white helmet with still buffalo > red helmet with any buffalo on it! Agreed. I've grown up with the red helmets, but I always thought the white ones, with either buffalo on it, looked much better! I can't wait to see the real unis, not on a video game preview.
judman Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 How far are people willing to drive to this? I think I am gonna skip it. I did go to the draft day party two years ago and thought it was great. Except for the Maybin pick
