The Senator Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) When some famous 'cool' guy did it by mistake. Thus a bunch of people who can not think fo rthemselves followed suite. basically how every dumb trend gets started Yes - I believe it was Al Cervik's friend, Mr. Wang, who started the whole 'leave-the-label-on' trend...

The Senator Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Don't like it. Flat brim, uninspired design. I want a white cap at a hot training camp. Just ordered this Reebok at $20.94: http://bills.fanatic..._Adjustable_Hat White with blue "Buffalo Bills" and logo front and center. Nice, but I like the New Era 39THIRTY Bills Training Camp Hat (the one Chan Gailey is wearing)

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Nice, but I like the New Era 39THIRTY Bills Training Camp Hat (the one Chan Gailey is wearing) It just appeared on thebillsstore.com - I applied my $20 season ticket renewal certificate so I got it for $8. Sweet.
eball Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 It just appeared on thebillsstore.com - I applied my $20 season ticket renewal certificate so I got it for $8. Sweet. What's this about a season ticket renewal certificate? How do I claim mine?
sds7973 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I am old. This is how we had our hats in the 90's when the OUR football was great and the Patsies SUCKED! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7EE0kBcLA8
sds7973 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Ok One more for the folks that remeber the Bills as a playoff team. Kiddies this is why us old people bend our bills. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5h5Qd-sDmg

716 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 People need to grow up a bit, imo, and I think New Era was more worried about what is "cool" right now, rather than what true football fans would want to wear. Ridiculous statement IMHO. So you are telling me that if I spend $34.99 on a well constructed flatbrimmed hat and proudly display my Bills gear outside of a game, then I am a douchebag, as well as not a true football fan? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. It's a style choice. Simple as that. Some like it, some don't. I purchase the New Era hat, apply a slight, somewhat noticeable bend, and size it up just hair bigger than my actual size. It works for me. I would never question your fandom if you had a ratty, v-shape billed, "faded 1960" hat like Ralph wears. Different strokes for different folks. I guess I prefer to be in the middle of the trend. Being only 30yrs old...I guess that makes sense. There are some undertones and connotations in this thread that just don't sit well with me. Who cares? Support your team how you see fit. You and I agree on a lot of things, but not the standing buffalo logo. I have two Bills hats, both by Mitchell and Ness (sorry New Era), both fitted with the standing buffalo. One is the red standing buffalo (oversized) on blue cap with red top button and red vent-hole stitching and the other is white Buffalo on red cap with blue top button and red vent-hole stitching. Both look killer IMO. Like. As far as flat brim vs curved, it's pretty impossible to uncurve a curved brim so it makes sense for manufacturers to produce flat brims so that people can personalize their caps and develop that special relationship. I have that one as well. Love it.
BuffBill Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Ugh. Maybe it's because I'm older, but I hate those flat brim hats. Same here. Reminds me of the hats the younger kids where where their ears are up inside the hat itelf. I must be old, because I also prefer the curved bill.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Holy crap, are you kidding me? This is ongoing and not limited to one purchase? I spend a freaking mint at that store. AFAIK it's a one-time use thing. I do know that it expires at the end of this month.
eball Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 AFAIK it's a one-time use thing. I do know that it expires at the end of this month. Gotcha.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Gotcha. Yeah I just checked it, and if you try to apply it again after using it it says that it's invalid.
