Howard Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Dear Mr Pegulo I heard that you and the team were thinking of changing the colors of the uniform. My friend who I walk with at the mall said that this OneBuffalo theme means you are trying to make the teams connect more and part of that work is to change the Bills colors to blue/white and gold. Why don't you change the sabres colors to red,white and blue then? Why the Bills? It would be a very big mistake to change the Bills colors. They have been red white and blue ever since I went to the rockpile with my wife and friends. I've been a fan of our team for well over 50 years of my 80+ years. Everyone knows its the Bills because of the look of the uniform. Change is a good thing now and then but changing the uniform should not be an option. If you change the uniform color I'll probably not watch the team anymore on our tv set. You didn't grow up in Buffalo so you probably don't really care about the colors. But we do. Keep it the way it is and we can win this thing. Same with the Sabres. Don't make them red, white and blue. I understand One Buffalo is a good marketing thing but that doesn't mean hockey and football should have OneUniform. Thank you Howard in South Buffalo Edited September 4, 2015 by Howard
Captain Hindsight Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Where did you hear he was going to change the colors?
Coach Tuesday Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Dude, really? You can't spell Pegula?
MOFO Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Where did you hear he was going to change the colors? from his friend...who he walks with at the mall...

Back in my day, we didn't have color! No siree bob, we had to watch everything in black and white! And we had to walk to the field to see them play! No shoes, uphill, in the snow, both ways, and we LIKED it, dangnabbit. After, we all went to the nickelodeon for a soda and a Fatty Arbuckle movie. Then I fought the Boche in the Great War...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
ExWNYer Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Make sure you send your plea to Mr. Pegula. Mr. Pegulo is probably powerless to stop this.
r00tabaga Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Weird post to say the least. I will say though that I always liked the Pittsburgh teams all going black & gold. Yet, I digress....
Wacka Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Where did you hear he was going to change the colors? At the Denny's he goes to with Shirl.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I dunno. It might be kind of cool to have it all one color scheme. Like the Pirates/Steelers/Penguins or Seahawks/Mariners. Maybe have the Sabres go blue and red though, since the Bills are a bigger national brand and have been around longer. Or maybe have alternate Blue/Red jerseys.

Or maybe leave it the way it is and let each team have its own identity & its own traditions. Domo arigato, Mr. Pegulo

Maybe throw a little purple in teal in there too just to balance it out.

Howard Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 I am a quick thinker so when I heard this might happen I wanted to act on it. Any of you guys think it cant happen are dreaming. Like TRBJ - why would you be ok with this? The sabres should stay blue and gold like they always have been and the Bills should stay red, white and blue. When I heard this earlier today I almost punched the guy.
UConn James Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 If this is not a trolling thread topic:I'll just interject to note that since the Bills did a uniform redesign... was it two years ago? ... by league rule they are not allowed to do another major redesign for five years afterward.There will not be a radical change anytime soon, and I don't think there will be a radical change anytime in the future. These unis are quite popular. As for myself, I think the black piping is unnecessary, ugly, and about 10 years behind --- but then again that's WNY for you --- but it's not that big a deal. The alternate / '64-'65 throwback unis are very nice, IMO.

LeGOATski Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 The sabres should stay blue and gold like they always have been. Weren't the Sabres black, red, and white not that long ago?
