GOBILLS78 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Why the f$%* did they do that? I don't think I'm just being reactionary here. Why not keep it the same color as the jersey, like almost every other team (I think the Chargers also went the way of the debacle). This collar will always just look like a 1980s neck roll to me. Dumb. Is it going to be blue on the white jerseys?
Bills of Boston Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 ehhh... well I guess if thats the only negative thing of the offseason we are doing alright..
r00tabaga Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) None of the alt jerseys have been shown yet either. I would guess that the road tops will have a blue collar. Very disappointed. Edited April 3, 2012 by r00tabaga
xsoldier54 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I can't believe all of the hysterics about a couple of white stripes on the collar. My guess is that they had a choice between this and that ugly ring around the collar that the Patsies have. I prefer this.
Buftex Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I am with everyone who thinks the white collars on the blue jerseys just looks stupid! Oh well, for one year, the Bills had one of the best looking unis in the league, again...the white dab was obviously added, just to distinguish them from the new uniforms from last season...I am not buying any more jerseys.

bladiebla Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Wow...those collars are hideous. Looks like us and SD are the only ones with those white collars. Very ugly IMO. Spikes are ugly too Edited April 3, 2012 by bladiebla
Wayne Cubed Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 bills only ones in AFC east doing the collars
UConn James Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I don't get it. If I wanted a polo shirt with a collar, I'd buy one.
benderbender Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 As a tie-in with that, the Carolina Panthers were compelled to release their logo change early, as someone at Nike put out photos of the gloves that featured a changed Panthers logo (tho not the one they released) on a Facebook post. WaPo: Carolina Panthers unveil ‘more aggressive’ logo as Nike takes over NFL rights I dunno, but the anime-cartooning of logos is not something I'm looking forward to. I hope many millions of dollars were spent on this barely noticeable "change the panther whiskers color" campaign.
need therapy Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Bills. Collars are ugly. Yeah, I hate to say it, but I see this as a crass marketing ploy. The Bills sold a bunch of jerseys last year because the fans were so happy to get rid of the old ugly ones. Now Nike comes around and the Bills chose to make one noticeable tweak to try and get a lot of the fans that just bought jerseys to go out and by the "new and improved" one. Just buy a t-shirt and save your self the money and angst.
Wayne Cubed Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 NE* as well Spikes are ugly too New England has their normal 3 stripes that go all the way around the collar
bladiebla Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 New England has their normal 3 stripes that go all the way around the collar Jeah my bad... was looking at the chargers and thought NE*....
jtf1444 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 George Wilson just said on twitter that the bills will be rotating 3 jersey next year. Will be interesting to see the 3rd jersey! "The Bills will have full integration of the Nike technology into our uniforms, rotating 3 uniforms during the season."
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Those shoes definitely stand out, but not in a good way. Completely agree... Red shoes are no bueno... Stay with the blue and white. Or even black and white... It looks like it will be breast cancer month all year round...
UConn James Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 According to a leaked league memo, teams will only be allowed to wear 3rd jerseys twice next season. They will only be allowed to wear them during Sunday afternoon games. No wearing them in prime-time. And no wearing them once the "flex" scheduling starts (week 10?).
Ramius Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 George Wilson just said on twitter that the bills will be rotating 3 jersey next year. Will be interesting to see the 3rd jersey! "The Bills will have full integration of the Nike technology into our uniforms, rotating 3 uniforms during the season." Red 3rd jerseys would be cool.
NickelCity Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I worry that would look like the patriots' throwbacks.
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Bills. Collars are ugly. Yea and Stevie looks bigger and darker...
VanCity Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Completely agree... Red shoes are no bueno... Stay with the blue and white. Or even black and white... It looks like it will be breast cancer month all year round... I would have no issue with that being the case, but I like the red kicks. Anyone who has an Under Armour deal this year will be wearing some great looking cleats IMHO. Red would look nice in those.
