billsfan2003 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I wasn't even aware that we were getting blue pants this year. I hope they don't fudge with the uni's cuz then I'd have to buy a new jersey!

RTW2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Stevie J. said in an interview a few months ago that the team will break out the blue pants this year. There has been no indication the Bills have a 3rd jersey this year. The only team expected to have a radical overhaul in their look is Seattle. Denver is making their orange alternates their primary jerseys. Jax appears to be making black its primary color. More info can be found here.
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I finally like our unis again I hope Nike doesn't make me hate them again
r00tabaga Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wouldn't mind blue top/white pant HOME; white top/blue pant AWAY & white tops and white bottoms w/60's standing buffalo helmet as our alt 3rd for snow conditions. I know the White Out vs New York ended poorly but the energy before that game was sick!
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wouldn't mind blue top/white pant HOME; white top/blue pant AWAY & white tops and white bottoms w/60's standing buffalo helmet as our alt 3rd for snow conditions. I know the White Out vs New York ended poorly but the energy before that game was sick! I personally like the white helmets we played with last year. The throwback standing buffalo looks bored and just wants to eat grass. I like the charging Buffalo. So with that I would like to go with : HOME - Blue jersey/ white pants with the option of wearing blue pants if we wanted AWAY - White jersey/ blue pants with the option of wearing white pants if we wanted (I'M GOING OUT ON A LIMB WITH THIS ONE BUT), ALTERNATE JERSEY - same white helmet NEW Red jersey/ with red pants.
UConn James Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I know that PFT reported that Seattle is the only team this year that Nike is completely changing their look but after digging around the intranet, it appears other teams are doing minor changes too. New alternate 3rd unis for Pitt, Den, Carolina, St.L, Mia, SF & TB are the only ones I know of right now. Are we getting a 3rd? I know we got blue pants this year but I hope Nike doesn't fudge us over w/something stupid. Anyone have any inside scoop? From what I've seen, Seattle is making a small color change in the logo (grey in one of the rear panes) and go to a darker helmet and from what I hear, will have a 3rd jersey featuring the grey. I wouldn't call that "completely changing" their look. The Nike event is going to be at 11 a.m. ET. There might be a few tweaks, but I'm not expecting anything earth-shattering.
Stealth Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I personally like the white helmets we played with last year. The throwback standing buffalo looks bored and just wants to eat grass. I like the charging Buffalo. So with that I would like to go with : hahaha @ just wants to eat grass.

As for Seattle, you must not have seen much then... the look is a departure in many ways. You'll see tomorrow Bills just changed their look last season... 4 more to go before the league allows another update. Edited April 3, 2012 by Blanco_Diablo
rayray808 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 eastbay has the "Bill Just Do It" shirts up already
Blanco_Diablo Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Bills shop has the summer offering up as of yesterday: http://www.shopthebills.com/nike-buffalo-bills-nfl-jerseys-apparel-men-women.aspx
BillnutinHouston Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 George Wilson's in NYC today, most likely to "model" the new unis at Nike's unveiling. Based on this appearance I'm sure we'll get a look at them soon, even possibly on BB.com. Wilson in NYC
nucci Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Just Nike replacing Reebok. There may be some slight design change but I doubt we'll notice much difference.
BillnutinHouston Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Just Nike replacing Reebok. There may be some slight design change but I doubt we'll notice much difference. Hope and suspect you're right. Bills put in too much effort last year to have the rug pulled from under them. I really like the new unis.
eball Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 The NFL has strict policies in place regarding significant uniform design/color changes, that require (at least) a year of advance notice. By all accounts, the Bills' blue pants were part of the uniform change approved prior to last season, so they're not really "new." With respect to jersey design, I would guess there will be a few minor cosmetic changes as Nike replaces Reebok, but nothing significant -- which is a good thing. I read somewhere that Denver and Jacksonville will have significant changes, but not until 2013 -- because of the advance approval requirements. Please, please, please, Buffalo -- don't ever go blue/blue at home. Save the blue pants for the white jerseys.
judman Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I've said it before, but I hope the helmets have the matte finish on them. I really like the way they look. Edited April 3, 2012 by judman
BUFFALOKIE Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Bills shop has the summer offering up as of yesterday: http://www.shopthebills.com/nike-buffalo-bills-nfl-jerseys-apparel-men-women.aspx Good God. $97.00 for a pair of shorts and a shirt. That's why I still have the one and only Bills T-Shirt I've ever owned. Edited April 3, 2012 by Stranger in a Strange Land
Ramius Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Just Nike replacing Reebok. There may be some slight design change but I doubt we'll notice much difference. +1 I've been saying this for weeks, but there are still mouth breathers out there that think Nike is going to completely overhaul and redesign half the league's jerseys. They're not. Much like the NHL, there will be a few minor changes (with the exception of seattle apparently)

NO NO NO!!!! This is when our last uniforms started to look idiotic - when the players got it in their heads that they were meant to be mix and match.

These Bills unis will stay this way for a long time.
