im4bflo Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We WON CHAMPIONSHIPS in white helmets and standing buffalo logo, no other color or logo can say that, and that's a fact! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We WON CHAMPIONSHIPS in white helmets and standing buffalo logo, no other color or logo can say that, and that's a fact! That is inarguable. The '65 unis and helmet are my fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalohotwings Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 From the "leaked" photos it looks like we may see a grey facemask, which I would like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePebble19 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The "invitation" in the email appears to be a shot of the helmet stripe. Red with the dual royal blue stripes, and a small navy outline, which is pretty much what has been rumored for a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 For those that got an invite, what movie did you pick? I put a write in pick in the comments for Second String. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I don't think so, and I'm quite old enough. The white helmets just remind me too much of the futility of the 1970s and 1980s. The '80s weren't really futile. 84-85 obviously and 86 was Kellys 1st year. Almost made the playoffs in 87. Also the helmets were changed in 84 so they were red for much of the 80s.

eball Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Meant the red helmet with the charging buffalo. Yeah, I figured that out after posting -- too lazy to edit. From the "leaked" photos it looks like we may see a grey facemask, which I would like! If I recall, both the facemask and "belt" will be grey.

spurbs Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I wonder what players they will have for sale at the event? I assume Spiller, Evans and Poz. I'm hoping they have Stevie Johnson or Dareus available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Personally, I can't wait to see RW decked out in full pads and jersey, since the lockout likely won't be over by June 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Here is a complete history of all the Buffalo Bills logos and uniforms from sportslogos.net Very cool! Thanks. Although... there's one snafu. In '64, we lost the shoulder stripes and went to multiple sleeve stripes.

SouthernMan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 OR these monstrosities: http://www.instantreplaysportcard.com/items/helmets/%2794%20tb%20sp%20bills.jpg Not surprisingly, I knew exactly what I'd see after clicking on that link. Supposedly, Marv and Co didn't want to re-fit the players with all new helmets that may have been uncomfortable before getting broken in. Funny, every other team that once had old style helmet colors and logos went with alternate headgear. I think it's more likely that Ralph's bean counters advised against spending an extra $20k on helmets that would be used for only one game. (couldn't they have used them throughout the season in practice?) The solution was to strip the charging buffalo logo and replace it with the white replica of the old red standing buffalo. As if none of the Bills faithful would notice the reversed colors. "Say Stan, dat der player looks just like Tom Sestak der, but sometings diffrent. Did he grow a mustache? Cant quite put my finger on it. Pass da pierogis, der". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think it's more likely that Ralph's bean counters advised against spending an extra $20k on helmets that would be used for only one game. Ralph is cheap. Big freakin' deal. Teams don't go with exact replicas of old suits on throwback day anyway. The Cowboy's throw backs are similar to their original uniforms, but not anywhere near exact. I just wish the Seahawks would go throw back every once in a while to give us a break from those ugly green things they wear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If I recall, both the facemask and "belt" will be grey. Face-mask is gray Belt is white on home white pants Belt is blue on away blue pants BILLS '11 home BILLS '11 road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If I recall, both the facemask and "belt" will be grey. That would be my only 'complaint', and a minor one at that. The facemask should be blue, like the one in my avatar. The grey looks great on the original white helmet with the red, standing bison much like the white facemask looks great on the red helmet (the blue facemask didn't work with the red helmet). Would prefer blue belts, too. All in all, I'd still be more than happy with the changes if what's been "leaked" is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
