Straight Hucklebuck Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Should have never changed. Bring the red end zones back as well. 35 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: I know I am in the majority but I prefer these uniforms to the current. I cannot stand the current blue jersey on white pants. But as long as they never go back to those God awful early 2000's edition, I am good. Amen man. I don’t like “Bills” on front or the logo on the back, and the Buffalo on the sides of the pants. Old Jerseys were brighter, the red helmet popped, and the red end zones looked way better. 1 2

The white helmets are better so therefore, this is a no from me unfortunately. I badly want them to allow different colored helmets again though; there are a lot of great throwbacks that teams can't wear anymore. Yup, this is the rule...been discussed here many times. Yeah, it may be dumb and colleges do it all the time, but this is the current rule.
Irish Dave Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Apparently your throwback HELMET has to be the same color as your current one. That's why during the 90s when they did throwbacks of the standing Buffalo it had to be a Red Helmet with a White Standing Buffalo, if you remember?

There was no “one helmet” rule back then. We simply half-assed the whole thing in ‘94. And I do understand the rule is being revisited for this coming season, hence the possibility of the 90’s look.

True for Fergie's first 11 years in BUF. Bills went to Red helmets in 1984, his last year here to help him spot his WRs more easily. Didn't work btw

Completely agree. The white helmet is far superior. Those red helmets didn't exactly give us much luck in the big one. 1

I meant to say I am in the minority, so it appears one other person has good taste! I also loved the red end zones. 1

The Bills' current uniforms are the BEST they've ever had and are classic. The red helmets were stupid when they were introduced and they'd be awful now. Stop living in the past, man! Can’t happen anyway as the NFL has the one shell rule. The only throwback/alternate the Bills could use with the current set would have to have a white helmet. 1

"There will be no change for the 2020 season," the NFL said in a statement, via PFT. "There are ongoing discussions for a potential change for the 2021 season, but no decisions have been made." “ “Speaking of red helmets, the Bills would also have the option to wear their throwback. “
Nuncha Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 The red helmet was created so Ferguson could tell who was on his team. Back when he played the Jets, Colts, Dolphins and Patriots all had white. I don't the red helmet helped cut down on his interceptions.........
bobobonators Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I think we currently have some of the best unis in the NFL. The white helmet is key.

Mat68 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I would like the red helmet return. Maybe a metallic red. I grew up the Bills were dominate they wore red helmets. Maybe its nestalgia but its what I like. Keep the same unis though.

I absolutely agree w this. I didn’t mean full time switch, just a novelty game or three. See the above CBS article I posted, they referenced us & a bunch of teams that would be able to do throwbacks if the one helmet rule was abandoned. I think it will be- concussions & CTE etc. fell out if the news cycle years ago. And also, think about how much the NFL loves to take your money. And then think about how much more they could take if teams had multiple jerseys, and a wider variety of licensed merch. 2

Chandler#81 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Not at the cost of the red standing buffalo on white. That’s too classic and represents multiple championships. Yes, I’m old. 1
