The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 I'd like to institute a motion that in 2015, no one should be wearing the 2002-2010 jerseys anymore. They are horrible looking jerseys, it is a most forgettable era in Bills history and there aren't really any players who wore that jersey that are worth representing. Burn them all. EDIT: I supposed if you have a Fred Jackson or Kyle Williams jersey from that era that's OK. That's it though. Agreed. The Sabres slug jerseys, although ugly, was one of the best runs in team history, so it gets a pass. I hated the Sabres black and red at the time, but now feel nostalgic for them, again, because the teams were so good. Dark Bills jersey, jerseys sucked, team sucked. Get rid of them.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 CJ Spiller when he wore #21 CBF Navy?
The Crowing Rooster Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 A bright red Rob Johnson jersey that I ended up dropping in one of those cloths donation boxes. Boy was that thing ugly.

Burn the slugs too. The black and red ones are kinda sweet in hindsight. A Briere black and red jersey would be a good jersey. Obviously I prefer the new ones (although I would MUCH prefer if they went all the way back) but the slugs are infinitely worse than the goatheads.

I think the only reason I didn't like the black/red was because it was a complete shift from blue/gold. If they were a new team, it'd be sweet. I want to get a black and red Satan jersey to wear around Texas just to freak people out. Goat on the front, Satan on the back. And people in Texas know nothing about hockey.

EDIT: I supposed if you have a Fred Jackson or Kyle Williams jersey from that era that's OK. That's it though. Motion denied! How can you appreciate how good you have it, when you forget about how bad it was? No way...you can't ignore history..those ugly things are part of our history. And, as bad as the overall produce was (is?) during that time, there were still some pretty good Bills football players during those years... Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Nate Clements, Antoine Winfield....and one of my all-time favorite Bills, Lee Evans.
DblZ Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 One year my mom bought me both a Trent Edwards and a TO jersey and I knew both were not going to last more than one year, also got a Puzluzny and he left. My latest was a Kiko. So not too good of a record for me. Guess I can always fall back to 78 Smith.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 My Whitner throwback. When I got it he appeared on the cusp of becoming a big producer and leader. Not so much...

If you're going to get a black and red you've got to go Hasek.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 If you're going to get a black and red you've got to go Hasek. I have a hasek black/red tshirt jersey. But I want Satan strictly for the fun of freaking out the Mormons/Jehovah's Witness that knock on my door.
Chandemonium Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) I don't regret having it, but I have an antwain smith jersey that I think would be much cooler if I converted it to a Kenneth Davis. Edited May 21, 2015 by Chandemonium

The only way I could imagine that jersey ever seeing the light of day again is if I was going to a Bills game with a bunch of girls and a girl needed to borrow a jersey. And Lee Evans had an insane 2006 season (I bought it that year), don't get me wrong, but in 2015 that is not a viable jersey option on gameday. Edited May 21, 2015 by metzelaars_lives
truth on hold Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Ed Wang I bought it on the off chance he'd become at least a solid starter and the first ethnically Chinese player in the NFL would have 1 billion+ people bidding for his rookie memorobilia. That didn't work out, and now it's just taking space in my closet, and I wish I had my $50 back Edited May 21, 2015 by JTSP

I have my Spikes road jersey on as I type this and you'll get it when you pry my cold dead fingers off of it. I don't have any regrets on any of mine. I love wearing the old classic ones. Even if the guy sucked. They're still Bills jerseys. Root for the laundry, not the players IMHO.
elcrusho Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 I set my Losman jersey on fire, soo I don't really have that one anymore
reddogblitz Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Maybin I saw a lady wearing a Maybin jersey at a game last year. How cool is that! I don't regret having it, but I have an antwain smith jersey that I think would be much cooler if I converted it to a Kenneth Davis. I wish I had an Antowain Smith jersey.
RevWarRifleman Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 McGahee for me. Loved him as a player, thought he was a beast, but when he trashed Buffalo on his way out I ripped the name off the back. Believe it became a McGee the next year. Don't blame you there, pal. He was low class.
