Lost in all of this...the horrible jersey collar is gone?

[Just in Atlanta]

The jersey's could have a mighty taco doing a touchdown dance as long as I see them in jan

Ding ding ding. Surprised it took this long for the obligatory "I don't care what they wear as long" thread.

Sorry to disappoint you fellas, but if you go to the Bills website app there are photos of rookies arriving for camp. Go to the pic of #33 getting his photo taken and it appears there is a rather large white neck collar on his jersey.

Doesnt mean anything. The newer jersey probably wont be released for a few months. Got to sell as many older jersey's as possible 1st. They didnt unveil these new uniforms until late June in 2011. I remember the throw back uni wasnt even unveiled until training camp.

I thought the collars were a cool look. Like Stevie should pop his collar when he scores a TD. I can't imagine why the players didn't want to exploit such a sweet uniform nuance.

 

All they needed was a comb-in-pocket silk screened on the ass of the pants and it would have been like class picture day circa 1984. Nike is usually on those details but alas the moment is lost.

 

This year they should go legit and add real collars or perhaps the turtleneck and thin gold chain look as an homage to south Buffalo? I don't know, maybe I am 14 years old but IMO last year's jerseys introduced the NFL uniform to the world of high fashion and it's going to be hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

 

I was thinking they could accessorize the coaching staff with ascots.

 

Maybe something in a Zubaz pattern?

Not sure if posted already, but it appears that, lost in all of the draft glory, that ridiculous collar on the jersey appears to be a thing of the past.

 

 

They seem to change something every year to get people to buy new jerseys. These Nike jerseys kinda suck. I bought one, they fit and feel terrible. You watch the games and all the player have a square patch of sweat on their stomachs? Not that they look that bad on TV, but terrible design. Edited May 10, 2013 by BuffBill

Those collars remind me of my old boss at an insurance company. He had a blue shirt with that ugly white collar.

 

They should just make that white collar blue & be done with it.

Most, not all, guys i have met that where shirts like that are dbags!!! arrogant s.o.b's.

What kind of grown man wears a jersey around the house? The same 40 year old guy who plays video games. It is such a ridiculous, Generation X fad.

This was taken today at the NFL Rookie Premiere. Sorry guys. But I haven't seen any evidence that says the collars are going away. I think they just made a quick throwaway for the draft without one and everybody got excited.

 

The pics of the replica jerseys are the same style as last years. The replica jerseys don't have the flywire collars. Only the "Limited" and "Elite" jerseys offer those. Replicas just have a half white colored collar.

sorry, ya old coot. The "video game" generation is here to stay. I'm 31 and still play video games, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I'll be playing when i'm 40 and 50, and 60, etc.

Is it the same kind of grown man that complains on internet message boards?

 

I'll hang up and listen.

On behalf of 40-something Gen Xers:

 

No.

 

We're too busy fixing what the generation before us broke, and trying to keep something alive for the generation younger.

 

Enjoy your prosperity at our expense.

And while you're cleaning up the Baby Boomers mess (to the prior point), you've grown the affinity of cultural gems like cosplay. So, thanks for that? :-)

Can we just give up in this thread already. Like I said back in the first page. It's because the pics that we see with the slightly smaller white neck roll are really just the cheapos. And by cheapos I mean the $150 jerseys that Nike rapes us on.

 

On top of all of this, the fabric and sewing patterns on these jerseys are absolutely hideous. Looks like there are patches everywhere. Like the entire jersey is made from patches.

 

These Nike jerseys really make me sick to my stomach. What was wrong with the old fashioned mesh that Reebok and Puma used before it? Nike being Nike had to change a perfectly good product. If it wasnt for "new" jerseys and designs in color schemes, Nike would not be selling any jerseys. All I hear is people's complaints about these monstrosities.
