BakersBills Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Red is the color of extremes. It’s the color of passionate love, seduction, violence, danger, anger, and adventure. Our prehistoric ancestors saw red as the color of fire and blood – energy and primal life forces – and most of red’s symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past. Red is also a magical and religious color. It symbolized super-human heroism to the Greeks and is the color of the Christian crucifixion. Red was almost as rare and as expensive as purple in ancient days – a fact that may explain its magic and power. Paradoxically, today’s intense red dyes come from crushed insects (the lac beetle and the cochineal). https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1088479-20-best-world-football-teams-who-play-in-red#slide0 Does your favourite team wear the colour red? It may explain why they are usually among the best of the best. If your into psychology and all of that jazz, you may know a thing or two about what kind of effect colours may have in different situations. According to a study done by British anthropologists and presented in National Geographic magazine, wearing red may give a team or individual the advantage in sports. "Those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 per cent more in any competition than if they were in another colour." Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive and dominant. Red's pre-eminence emerged from a study by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster and reported in New Scientist magazine. They showed video clips of taekwondo bouts to 42 experienced referees. One combatant wore blue, the other red. They then showed them the same clips but digitally manipulated the clothing to swap the colours. The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 per cent more points than when they were blue. Scientists at Plymouth and Durham University analysed the fortunes of 68 top English teams between 1946 and 2003. In home games, where teams generally wear their signature colours, those with red strips won more often than expected. make the switch, new era next year with allen starting from day 1. 4 1
Augie Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 That’s was kind of long. Did you mention in there anywhere because they are so ugly? ? 4 7 2
The Senator Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Those are the absolutely most ridiculous uniforms the Bills have ever worn. They look like a college team, only uglier than Oregon. . 6
The Red King Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 In the tabletop miniature game Warhammer 40,000, Orks frequently paint vehicles red because they believe red ones go faster. That aside, they either need red helmets to go with them, or wear white pants. As it stands they look like lighthouses, some sick inversion of their 90's road uniforms.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 The red unis are up there with the putrid Green Bay and Pittsburgh "jailhouse" throwbacks. They look REALLY bad if you're red blind, as we found out in the Bills-Jest game a few years back. Burn the red unis! 2
BillsSB2020 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 This must be a generational/cultural thing because the younger people I know love them and call them dope. I'm neutral. They flash out at the beginning of the game but seem to look worse as it goes on. Kind of weird. 1

SinceThe70s Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 TLDR, but really no need to. Any Bills uniform combination that includes red jerseys or pants is God-awful. Wearing both at the same time is an abomination.

Alphadawg7 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I like the red jerseys personally, I also like the neon green ones Seattle wears. I do utterly hate the Steelers jailhouse jerseys though. Not saying they should be what we wear all the time, but I like them when they wear them Edited December 18, 2018 by Alphadawg7 2

I think a law should be passed that the Steelers throw backs cannot be aired on National television. It’s in the best interest of society. I promise. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Great look irrespective of the "interesting" OP. 2

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Just. stop. please. The only place besides the logo for the red should be our helmets and striping down the pants. If that happens to match the color scheme of the greatest franchise era, well, what a happy coincidence! ? 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I would like to see the red tops with white pants once and white tops with the red pants once as well 3
Stank_Nasty Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I personally like these more than the all blues. The blues are a very distant last place for me. I agree with a poster above. I’ve wanted to see red on white since the all reds came out 3 seasons ago. 1
