Pretty decent for an alternate actually (though I'd hate it if it was the full time helmet). But I'm still partial to the 90's helmet & uniform. The red helmet with the blue charging buffalo looks beautiful to me. Oh, and bring back the red endzones! Couldn’t agree more. Absolutely get over yourselves, guys, there is nothing even aesthetically wrong with this helmet. Please, by all means wax on about how terrible the exact same charging Buffalo is while using all the same colors of the current uniform. Also the suggestion is for an alternate, not a replacement.

Alright all kidding aside, Iron, that is fine for a game, and I honestly don’t care. As long as no one ever suggests those go awful striped Unis from the early 2000’s. If we keep these normal white, white, white blue, blue white, ya da yada, I’m cool. 1

Speaking of throwbacks the Bills will be sporting the all white throwbacks at home vs the Pats on MNF in week 13. I wonder if the Pats will use their throwbacks and wear red with their old logo of the Patriot hiking the football( The Pats haven't posted what they will wear yet) per the uniform gridiron database webpage.

People have fought change in any form since the dawn of time. It’s not like these would be permanent fixtures, it’s an alternate to experiment with different vibes. If a blue helmet was implemented, the next generation of fans would grow up with it and they’d be saying the same thing when someone went to change it. They’d say things like it’s too minor league, or whatever. Denver had nearly the same blue helmet as this concept and not many ***** on it. People are just mentally attached to what they know and feel comfortable with. It’s human nature and I’m not mad about it, but that’s the only reason why people are hating on a bills blue helmet concept. There are so many things here i disagree with. You make so many large generalizations and assumptions. In short, i dont like the blue helmet you posted because it looks like ass. Nothing more, nothing less. 1
May Day 10 Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 Yeah, that blue helmet is really un-pleasing to my eyes. It isnt about some personality flaw how I am afraid of new things. It just looks terrible. In fact, the black helmet posted is somewhat sharp. I personally hate the alternate uniform obsession that has taken over most of NCAA football, and I would rather not see the NFL teams go to wearing 12 wildly different sets of uniforms during the course of the season. For the Bills, I like their current sets a lot. I love the standing Buffalo throwback.... and if they need to do some sort of color rush for 1 game a year, Id be fine with that.... perhaps try some variation of that black/carbon helmet out. I actually do not think the 90s uniforms are great. Its good nostalgia and encompasses a great time. I dont think the look aged well and looks neither modern nor retro. 1
DCOrange Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I love the alternate helmet rule for what it opens up for other teams. For Buffalo though, I think we already nailed it with the white helmets. Any other colored helmet (including the reds that a lot of people pine for) would be a downgrade IMO.

I'm against the blue helmet but if I was forced to pick a blue helmet I'd prefer this over that hideous monstrosity

This sounds like a bunch of whining excuse making because the vast majority don’t like the concept you are presenting. It doesn’t sound to me that most people don’t like change - it sounds to me like most people think that the hideous Blue helmet with white Buffalo and red stripe just looks ugly. It really could have just been left in the other thread, but then you LAMP’d it and now seem to be finding excuses why most people do not like it. The color mix is bad and it does not pop - it looks incomplete- like someone forgot to finish up the coloring job and just never got to the Buffalo. The white causes the Buffalo to lose all dimension. The Red stripe draws the eye away from the shape behind it and therefore it loses any sizzle. Overall - I am all for change and as I have said before - most Bills fans have been excited about uniform changes - including little things like the face mask color. You are confusing peoples dislike of this concept helmet with a dislike of change and that should not be the case. A blue helmet might work, but it will require a much better logo design than what is on here. The issue is the Logo works best as a blue Buffalo and although that looked nice on the original concept helmet - they blended together a bit. The Blue on that still looked 50x better than the white logo. Heck even the black helmet presented with the blue logo looks 100x better. It is not the change it is the design. Start there and work forward. Edited September 1, 2021 by Rochesterfan
