Beast Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Better than a throwback, maybe this would allow for a completely different logo for an alternate....kinda like college football does. It would be a good revenue stream as well.
BananaSquad Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Current set is literally perfect imo. But I wouldn’t hate this as a 1 game thing every year.

But as far as I'm concerned, players and teams should be able to have as many helmets certified for use as they want, as far as safety is concerned. I can see there being aesthetic restrictions, though. Some college teams have so many helmet configurations it's absurd. NFL wants to maintain their brand and image so have strict uniform policies. I read a Sports Illustrated article a few months ago about helmets where they said the industry was taken over by marketing, with companies all claiming theirs was the best. Testing by consultants to SI were skeptical that helmets are as safe as they could be or any safer than in the past.
BillsSbSoon Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 I thought at first that this didnt even make sense because the rams have used different helmets but it was really just different decals they used the color was the same. So thats why a lot of teams havent worn their true throwbacks in years

I do really like the white helmets now as well, but it would be great to see the red ones back for a game or two. Just say no, however, to the red helmet with the white standing buffalo. That was an abomination. That was in the 75th Anniversary year right? I was 6, so I dont remember any of it. Why did they do it that way, why not just an actual throwback uniform?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Lets go whole uniform , Navy days baby!!!
Big C Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Prefer the white helmets big time, but sure the red ones would be fun to whip out for a game this season. I'll take red helmets over the red unis any day.

I don’t know the actual reason, but I believe it’s because the Bills still wore red helmets at that time, and didn’t want to switch back to white since it might be too much of a change for the offensive players. So they used the standing buffalo design, but switched the colors around. Hideous.

Which is crazy to me because more uniforms means more money for the NFL. And as we all know the NFL is a money hungry league. Edited March 27, 2020 by CountDorkula

This uniform should be locked in a box, buried, and the key should be thrown away. Red, navy, white, silver and Black should never be combined. Look at how they ruined that beautiful helmet with a black stripe down the middle. HORRIFIC! I’m mad just looking at these.

Terrible era for Bills uniforms. The aways were so hideous that I'd actually like to see them once every other season or so. Kind of like Green Bays gray and blues, or Pitts bumble bees.

I agree that is was so hideous when I first saw it and started to realize it existed, I thought it was some type of knockoff.
