For those who want the red helmet back… (Josh trolls everyone)

[RobbRiddick]

As cool as it is to see Allen in the red, I vote to keep this look in the past. I prefer the white uniforms now, much cleaner and I associate them with this new era of the Bills.

Changed from white helmet to red helmet in the 1980s for a stupid reason, let the red helmet stay dead.

 

My dad used to tell me it was because at the time all the AFC East teams had white helmets and Ferguson complained he couldn't find his receivers.  They changed to red to make it easier for him.

Allen may have “trolled” us but I highly doubt this was random. I very much think we have red helmets in our future, be it alternates or the main, and this was more foreshadowing. 
 

That wasn’t the 90’s or 00’s red helmet either, the double blue stripes are unique.

My dad told me the exact same thing

How long has it been since the team updated their jerseys? 

[The Red King]

I think Josh might be forcing the issue.  By pulling this stunt the cat's out of the bag.  It's also a very sneaky way for the Bills to gauge interest in the red helmets.

 

As already noted, the red jersey is simply the "no touchy the QB" practice jersey.  And the stripes are the ones normally placed on the white helmet, one reason I think Allen slapped together.

Don't like the blue stripe though. If they do bring the red helmet back as an alternative, just use the ones we used back in the 90s

[Buffalo03]

I wonder if this was a helmet we originally intended on using ad a throwback but scrapped last second. Otherwise, where did it come from?

I know a lot of people hate the helmet but I thought it was 🔥.

Ferguson was colorblind apparently. My dad told me the same thing

I respectfully disagree, there is no way this was a prank by Allen. I think this was a preview/prototype for the new red design (blue stripes look weird with the white shoulder stripe)

It doesn't go well w the red jersey. But it's great 👍

Alternate uniform needs to be Red Helmet with Royal Blue 90's jersey and white pants. I hate the red on red color rush uniform. It's too "much"

[GolfandBills]

Blue stripes.. no

[delirious]

Bring back the red helmet! Just for a game or two.

 

I'm going to be terribly disappointed if they don't bring it back.

I don’t know, looks like something Boise State would wear.

They wear it once a year. It's a nice uniform that just pops. I like it as a one game thing
