The white blends in and looks too slick and cheesy for my taste, kind of like when athletes wear white cleats. Black cleats always look better. I mean, grey have been our default facemasks for 3 or so years now .
Jester Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 They announced the white face masks on the website (not sure how to add the link).

To be honest, I barely even notice it. Gross. It’s extremely important. 2 1 2
BillsfaninSB Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 While both versions are acceptable here is the rule of thumb. In America use “A” - GRAY in England use “E” - GREY 3

NewEra Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I don’t really notice the white face masks so much when watching the game, but looking at them side by side, the white looks much better. It enhances photos and videos more so than what I’m looking at while watching the game 2

Sure, they wore white like 80 years ago, but the red helmets are still throwbacks.

So, it looks like when the Bills went back to white helmets in 2011 the facemasks were gray. Then from 2012 through 2016 they were white, and from 2017 to now they've been gray (with one white game thrown in during the season in 2019 and 2020). Personally, I like the white but the gray didn't bother me.
jkeerie Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Harrison Philips looked and sounded so enthused about the gray. 😆 1

They now have a stormtrooper look to them. 2

swimtoga Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 If we had white face masks we’d be asking for gray ones.

Bills also had white face masks against the Jets on Thursday night (color rush game) back in ‘16 IIRC.
