All-reds this week for the Fish...

[SoMAn]

Surprised we haven’t seen the classic standing red Buffalo helmet yet. I wonder if it’s being phased out or if they’ll have it for one of the final 3 games.

Ugh, I hate all the solid color unis, but the reds are the worst. Blue on white and all whites and sell off the rest. While we are at it, bring back the standing Buffalo!

By the by  ...

(as the Irish guys in South Buffalo used to say) WHEN are the BILLS scheduled to wear the standing Buffalo helmet?

I heard on WGR today the throwbacks won’t be worn this season.  I can’t remember who said it though.

If the Bills wear red, doesn't that mean the Fish will be in white?  White uniforms in the snow sounds like a bad match for the Dolphins.  May be the reason the Bills picked red to put them in white?

Google. It's a thing.

Loved seeing Hojo quoted in the article.

These still look too much like the 1985 era Patriot uniforms for my taste.

I despise the red on red look, but admit it was a good look in the Colts snow game. 

 

I can recall posts suggesting that Kim Pegula was a big fan of red on red in the the snow. No clue if that had any legs.  Also haven't heard anything in awhile about whatever health issues she's been going through. But if the two things are related in anyway I am fully on board with the red on red regardless whether it snows on Saturday.

Not sure if it's true, but I seem to recall hearing that the Bill's Red Helmet design was brought in partially for their visibility to the QB.

 

Possibly an urban myth....

Can anyone confirm or refute?

 

 

 

I think they started with them in 83 or 84 and I remember reading in one of the pre season magazines that they went to them to cut down on Joe Ferguson interceptions

I love the red jerseys but the pants need to go.

Josh Allen Uniform Record

Blue on White 16-7

White on White 13-7

White on White (Standing Buff Helmet) 3-2

White on Blue 9-8

Blue on Blue 10-4

Red on Red 4-1

 

 

 

 

Sure about this? Which game was the one loss? I thought Allen was 4-0 in all reds. We only wear them once a year right and this being Allen's 5th year that would mean he's only had four opportunities to wear them.

 

Off the top of my head.

 

2018- Lions W

2019- ?

2020- Steelers W

2021- Carolina W

[ExiledInIllinois]

Love it!!!

This is what it will look like to colorblind people (mostly all males BTW):

That was Jets/Bills perfect storm.

Josh will be able to see our guys in red. Tua won't be able to find his guys in white in the snow.

This is exactly why they did it, to conquer any visibility.  Miami will probably go White and Aqua.

The Reds will look good in the snow

With the little buttons on the trap door on back and the footies.

I hate these uniforms, but if it's going to snow and be a night game it's the only useful time for them.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

UGLY AS HECK

 

1990’s throwbacks? Red helmet and red end zones, the RIGHT color blue uniforms. 

 

Patriots can do the old logo at midfield, the end zones and jersey/helmet.

 

We do these lame red uniforms.

 

Just get a win. Look like Santa Claus in the snow.

Can’t wear them this year as the Bills didn’t request it with the league or something. I’d guess we will see them next season sometime though. 

[Bubba Gump]

All reds and snow = Blowout of the lame blue and orange.  Buh bye Tua.

Allen is better in the all reds. It’s science. Better visuals, better anticipation, better games. 

[Nephilim17]

I like it. Kinda like High Plains Drifter...

I honestly think that is one of a few reasons why Mahomes is as good as he is in KC. More games in red seeming how it’s their natural color. If you put Mahomes on a team like the colts, I don’t think he has as much success. He would still be great, but I’d be willing to bet he’d have a handful more loses due to the color change (assuming) same roster and coaches.

I'd put this slightly behind having Andy Reid as your head coach.
