Mickey Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 They're better than the CFL unis, but I had hoped for better. Maybe it's just the whole snug-fit thing I have a problem with. Maybe I'll like 'em more when I see them close up. I hope so. I had the same feeling yesterday. I think their throwbacks are a lot better than these new uniforms.
eball Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Watching the unveiling, the guys wearing the uniforms just seemed a little awkward. Once we see real football players, with pads, wearing these digs, I think they're going to look awesome. Minor disappointment in not seeing the blue pants, but on the whole these are pretty sweet. I can't say enough how cool it is that the jerseys finally say "BILLS" and have the logo.
Dr. Trooth Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 FOr all the hoopla, I thought it was a disappointment. 60's uniforms with 70's helmets.
LynchMob23 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Was Stevie being there (albeit in the crowd) allowed per lockout rules? I know he was in the stands signing stuff and meeting fans...
bisonbrigade Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 You guys are nuts, the uniforms are great. The dark ages are over and the Bills are back in blue. The real Blue that is.
Mike in Syracuse Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I am completely underwhelmed by the new uni's but I'm hopeful they'll look better on actual nfl players with pads. On another note: I love that the Bills honored the military by having armed services members model them. But but but...why does every Buffalo production have to look like it was put together by a six grade class? Our team has the production value of an elementary school play. And for God sakes, invest some money in a real internet stream. Edited June 25, 2011 by Mike in Syracuse
VADC Bills Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 They're better than the CFL unis, but I had hoped for better. Maybe it's just the whole snug-fit thing I have a problem with. Maybe I'll like 'em more when I see them close up. I hope so. You nailed it. I'm trying to convince myself that I like them more than I do. I was thinking something that resembled the throwbacks. I would have loved the throwbacks with the red helmets or just go back to the 90's uni's. Maybe once I see them on the field they will look better.

IDBillzFan Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Don't worry. You'll feel much better as soon as we cut Moorman.
K-No Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I'm admittedly disappointed about no blue pants, but the more I look at the all-white look I have to say it's pretty sharp. These uniforms are so "old school" and I love it. So for road games played in the snow, we're back to QB's complaining they can't spot the receivers quick enough in the white uniforms and helmet. IIRC that was one on the reasons we went to the red helmet.
Wagon Circler Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 These are high school uniforms. Ugly. The mock-ups were better.
K-No Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Maybe once I see them on the field they will look better. Come December in the snow you might not be able to see them at all! Edited June 25, 2011 by K-No
bobblehead Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 1) the helmets are one of the best in the NFL now. Awesome. 2). Love the white jerseys 3). The numbers and the shoulder stripes on the home jerseys look a little wimpy. The white in both the stripes and the numbers need to look wider, thicker. That's it. Other than that these are miles and miles better than the clown suits. The big problem is that we have not seen enough of these yet. Haven't seen them on real players yet, haven't seen the real ones in the online store yet, haven't seen any good pics yet. This is a failure of the FO, and it's a failure of the lockout, too.
bills1960 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Love the helmets, not totally sold on the jerseys yet but maybe they'll look better on the actual players.
billsfan72 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Sorry if anybody else has mentioned this, but it appears in the group photo as though the loose fitting jerseys has a dark blue around the numbers (blue jerseys) and tight fitting ones don't. Again, sorry if mentioned already.

And for God sakes, invest some money in a real internet stream. You nailed it, Mike. From a marketing and PR standpoint, that was one of the worst "product launches" I've ever seen. I logged on to bb.com last night after getting home from work (California time), excited to see the new uniforms, and all I could find initially was the group picture of military guys looking awkward and retired Bills looking fat. So I looked for more multimedia, and all I found was more pictures of military guys looking awkward and a video of Russ talking to the media. I just wanted to get a good look at the damn uniforms, but that wasn't even possible. I thought Russ was a marketing guy?
