RiotAct Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 the Bills logo looks more “stately” on the red background, and more aggressive on the current white background IMO. Both are excellent. I wouldn’t be opposed to them wearing the 90s kits for a game or two, at all.

That’s too classic and represents multiple championships. Yes, I’m old. Expand I would hope they could do both throwback versions. The Rams have said that they want to release new kits into their lineup each year for the next 3 years. We’ll have to see what the league comes up with for what they allow. Personally, I would favor if they did an old-school throwback weekend in the Thanksgiving week games, and maybe a ‘90s throwback weekend somewhere. 1

Would not expect a team to do that except at opener or when they have Thursday night game combined with a bye giving team more time. I bought my wife a new van which but they did not van in have color she wanted so she bought silver one. Salesman said he can give us a reference who can do a car wrap cheaper than new paint job and it helps protect paint. Expand Thanks Lime, amd good idea to do the wrap. I’m sure you know if you repainted you’re wife’s van, it immediately reduces the value by 25% on avg., at least that’s what an old friend who owns a dealership told me. He wasn’t selling me anything. I just don’t see the team putting out that kind of expense and labor for one game. It doesn’t make sense especially in a tough fiscal year or two.

george c Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Not a 90’s fan. I prefer the white, and even the white on white. The red helmets remind me of those four years...

When the team took the field in those throwbacks, you could say to your kids or grandkids, “thats what our team looked like when I was a kid!” Now it’s time for those of us who were young in the 90’s heyday to be able to do the same.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 There were rumors that the 1 helmet rule may change next season. I hope that’s true because I want both options as well.
Marcus Aurelius Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 BRING BACK THE SILVER HELMETS WITH THE BLACK NUMBERS! I Remember those uniforms sported by the early 60s Bills. Not too shabby a look but perhaps way too "Detroit Lion" like. 1
Brennan Huff Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I’ve always found it odd the amount of people who hate the 90’s era uniforms. Those were our “glory” years. I’m a little biased also because that’s the helmet/jersey I grew up with.. 1

Expand Yeah I hope so too, it would open up options for a bunch of teams/ For one, Bruce Arians definitely wants to wear the creamsicle unis in TB. They are the champs, and also Tom Brady, so I can see this having some sway in the discussion. https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2020/03/25/could-the-bucs-classic-creamsicle-uniforms-make-a-return-bruce-arians-says-yes/

The only throwback/alternate the Bills could use with the current set would have to have a white helmet.

Expand I would get rid of the '70s charging bison for the old standing bison tomorrow if we could! Or come up with something entirely new, that would work too. I'm not a fan of the charging bison logo...shouts out dated '70s design. A bison skull is an interesting avenue to go down, as would be a fun, cartoonish character charging with a football or wearing a helmet or something like that. The idea to make it deliberately quaint and old fashioned looking, like some old school sports logos. The old Patriot snapping the football comes to mind--one of the best logos of all time!

Nextmanup Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 The original penguins logo is also great. The scarf on the penguin is brilliant.

We started wearing the white throwback standing bison helmets again when jp Losman was the qb. This was still when we were wearing our red helmets as the regular. Hence, no rule. The one helmet started in 2013 according to a quick google search.
