Bills Uniform Concepts

[Zerovoltz]

I get bored at work and sometimes I kill time messing around with MS paint.  Today, during a very dull 12 hour shift...I came up with these.

 

1.  I am not a professional artist. 

2. I only know how to use MS paint, not photoshop etc.

3. You all know I'm a Chiefs fan.  I am not trying to bag on your current uniforms.  The  Bills have good uniforms as is. 

4. I tried not to stray too far from elements that make the Bills brand what it is, but they are different.  I am sure MOST of you will pan these, but whatever.  I'm here for the comments and criticisms etc.   

 

What I have here -

 

Blue helmet with a red buffalo and blue streak.  I always liked the red standing buffalo logo.  I tried this on a white helmet and thought it looked better in blue.

Added a secondary buffalo head logo, which I placed on the shoulder sides, and eliminated the sleeve striping. 

Went with a slightly different font for the nubmers...and while this isn't traditional block font, it's not a whole lot different, but just a bit more modern and less generic than block.

went with a non contiguous two-tone pants stripe.  The white pants have red and blue striping, and the blue pants have red and white striping.

Added an AFL original member patch to the upper left side of the jersey with "RW" initials on the football in honor of Ralph WIlson.

You know when teen girls doodle the name of their crush on their notebook? Or they write their first name with their crush's last name? This has that energy. Seriously, bud. Just admit you wanna be a Bills fan. Lol.

 

I kid, but I don't absolutely hate the idea of a blue helmet. We have seen white and red already. I saw one with an all white buffalo outlines with red a while back and it looked solid. A lot of people will pan it simply because it's new and different and people are uncomfortable with change.

I sorta am one.  The Bills are the team I root for when they aren't playing KC.  This place and Josh Allen made me a fan.

I'll say, it's not a bad effort at all! I'm personally just not a fan of the blue helmet concept.

This helmet concept has been floating around for a long time, similar to yours:

Not a big fan, personally. I think the white helmets look better. I would not mind a 90's throwback of the red helmet, though.

I really like the mini-Buffalo logo. That is sharp. 

[CoffeeDrip]

I’m just unimpressed that this was made in Paint. I didn’t even know it still existed!

[Herc11]

Helmet color scheme is too close to the giants and the buffalo face reminds of the bears. 

 

Not a fan of the overall layout, but it's better than I could do.

I think a blue helmet could be cool in a matte finish. Maybe a matte blue with the red standing buffalo logo

[Codyny13]

I like the name on the back 👌

I liked the Silver helmets of the 60-61 Bills. It had the players numbers affixed on the sides of the helmets. In 63 of course, we saw a Red standing Buffalo placed on the sides of the White helmet. 

 

Perhaps the Silver helmet with the standing Buffalo would have been a good look.

No offence to anyone, but I love the current unis and don’t think they can be improved upon.

 

I remember the horrid multi blue with red piping disaster unis and all I wanted was the white helmets to represent snow. So when we got ‘em I was happy and never want them to change again

Hood helmet to wear for players with concussions. 

[Jay_Fixit]

Those are awful.

I think that a blue metalic helmet could work as long as the Buffalo were white with a red stripe.  

[LeGOATski]

I like the idea of the secondary logo on the sleeve and that's about it.

 

Blue helmet with red charging bison logo is a hard pass.

 

Not a popular opinion, but the Bills could use a total redesign of the logo. Both iterations of the bison were very poorly designed.
