joemac Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Love the RED helmets. Thought they were a big improvement when they first came in and they still look better than the old drab white helmets.
Buftex Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 The charging buffalo really pops out on the white helmet, which is why I like it the best. No to the red! Preference is probably based on what you grew up seeing. The Bills sucked in the red helmets too before Polian came along. In all deference to all the various Bills helmets, but the Bills have sucked pretty hard in all incarnations. Now when I was old enough to have any concept of the Bills and football, I was 7...1972. I remember vividly the disdain that Bills fans had in 1974 when the Bills changed from standing, to charging Buffalo.. I liked it a lot! When they changed from white to red helmets in 1984, I hated it...and I think a very vocal segment of Bills fans did as well...we just didn't have the internet to make our opinions known. Unfortunately, those ugly red helmets were the only saving grace for the Tom Donohoe era uniform change in 2002...though, I will admit, the all-blue uniforms with the red helmets kinda grew on me... but for me, it isn't even close...this current look is the best of all!
mabden Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Nope. Ferguson, and Kay Stephenson. I seem to recall it was done because Fergie was color-blind, and every other team in the division also had a white hat at the time. The red was dark and would provide differentiation. "Everyone we played had white helmets at that time," Ferguson said. "Our new head coach Kay Stephenson just wanted to get more of a contrast on the field that may help spot a receiver down the field." I stand corrected. I tend to forget those years. Thanks.
BuffaloFan68 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Steps to the AFC Championship & beyond: 1) Go back to the red helmets 2) Move training camp back to Fredonia.
qblax16 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Can we add another option for blue? I'm digging that, but I think we should wait a few more years with the white helmet.
VADC Bills Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Love the 90's uniforms where you have an even distribution of red, white and blue. Not only do I prefer the red helmet but I also like the red shin sox as well. I always thought the red hemets were the most attractive in the league. The uniforms now look like knock off Colts uniforms. Nothing to offset the blue. Our white uni's are down right boring. Edited July 3, 2014 by VADC Bills
BUFFALOKIE Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 I think the current uniforms are great, but I am intrigued by the blue helmet. Pretty cool looking. I don't like the red helmets, but I would choose them over the grazing buffalo waiting to be slaughtered.
K D Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Why haven't we ever had red jerseys? We do...during practice
WotAGuy Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I think the red helmets should be forever retired as they are emblematic of the Kelly and Super Bowl(s) era. Let them stand as a reminder of those days. The white look great - current unis are my all-time favorite. The blue helmets are intriguing though......
voodoo poonani Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I guess I'm in the minority, but I grew up with the 90s Bills and loved the red helmets. Too many teams have white helmets.
BUFFALOKIE Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I like that blue helemt more every time I look at it. It makes the charging buffalo stealthy.
thewildrabbit Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 The blue does look cool, and has a sort of NY Giant ish look to it.
Beerball Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 We do...during practice Is it just me or does Manuel look disinterested in that pic? PS...red helmets suck. PPS...blue helmets suck.
enlightener Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 it would have helped if you had not used Reeds weird looking air helmet with the long white chin straps in this pic, nice pot though, i like white now even though i liked red at first. i still wish they would do the long red sox with the current uni. i do it in madden and it looks great. i also hate blue pants and love all white.

K D Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 <p>The blue uniforms look pretty cool with the blue helmets. A lot of people like the blue helmets surprisingly. I was thinking about adding an option for blue or "other" to the poll but I was most interested in white vs red. Personally, I like the red of course but it looks like most fans want to stick with the white. I think whatever color we go with, we should go with a matte color like the Vikings or UB. A flat red or a white with a pearl effect would look really cool
