San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 That makes sense and would look much better. Thanks, Fluff. Every once in awhile Fluff brings us something of substance.
ExWNYer Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Every once in awhile Fluff brings us something of substance. Is it a sticky substance?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Is it a sticky substance? All I know is that it supposedly goes well with peanut butter.
You herd it hear last Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 The jersey on the left doesn't have it but the jersey Stevie is wearing does...looks like a 50/50 proposition; hopefully, the "Jim Ritcher" collar is gone. i was hoping they'd add to it...maybe make it larger and fashion it out of a fine linen doily and sew some hearts on it... yay!

That is really gay… not that there's anything wrong with that. But I'd prefer that they embellish the flyaway collar and just go to something in a good heavy stiff linen, maybe a pleat wing collar like this: Much more manly. You have to intimidate the opponent in football.
billsonparade Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Buffalo's new collar will be different than Houston's. the Texans collar extends around the NFL shield, and although they don't actually use the NFL flywire technology, Houston does have the style for a flywire collar. Buffalo won't be using a flywire collar on their 2013 uniforms. They'll still use a Nike template jersey, but will use a collar similar to Green Bay's, even though the Packers use non Nike template jerseys, that are similarly structured to Reebok's (no sweat box on bottom of jersey)

I went back and rewatched EJ getting drafted on YouTube. You can only see it for a quick second, but the jersey he holds up is just as you described. Full white collar but it is not as thick as the one Houston sports.
SBUffalo Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Thought the picture straight from the Nike Bills page would make it pretty clear. Buffalo will have the same jerseys but with a different collar. As such...
Dorkington Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 But then this pops up... Maybe all they had were the "old" jerseys for this...
eball Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 But then this pops up... Maybe all they had were the "old" jerseys for this... There's some event the top rookies went to right after the draft for photos for trading cards and the like...the Bills' reps all had the horse collar jerseys. I think it was an effort to try and move the existing inventory of horse collar stuff before announcing the new jerseys. In other words, it was all about money, as usual.

I don't want to believe that something so evil could be true. But it probably is.

Well that would make sense if these horse collar jerseys weren't rookie jerseys. You wouldn't have to get rid of an inventory if you didn't just create it.

You wouldn't have to get rid of an inventory if you didn't just create it. Yes, it's odd, I agree. But right after EJ was drafted the Bills were selling the horse collar #3 on their website. I have to think they had a huge inventory of blank horse collar shirts to sell, so they tried to take advantage of the schlubs who would buy one before they realize they were going to change.
Dorkington Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 This is the single greatest storyline of the offseason.
