Rubes Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I say we start a petition to make them wear the retro jerseys and helmets for the big game. How awesome would that be? Who's with me?

EC-Bills Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Start a petition to have them wear the retro stuff for EVERY game. 351977[/snapback] Amen! I love the uniforms!!!!!
Rubes Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Start a petition to have them wear the retro stuff for EVERY game. 351977[/snapback] While that would be great, it won't happen. Too much marketing went into the new duds.
TheMadCap Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Start a petition to have them wear the retro stuff for EVERY game. 351977[/snapback] Indeed. I love the old unis. I have my BIlls franchise in Madden 2005 in them almost every game. For some reason, it will switch on you if the other team wears a certain color. That brings up another interesting occurance. Last night I was playing the Patsies, and they came out in the old school red and white. Anyone know what's the haps on that?
udonkey Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Petitions wouldn't work in this situation - the NFL requires teams to notify them a year in advance of any uniform changes.
Rubes Posted June 6, 2005 Author Posted June 6, 2005 Petitions wouldn't work in this situation - the NFL requires teams to notify them a year in advance of any uniform changes. 351992[/snapback] Including what they might wear if they make it to the big game?
JinVA Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Including what they might wear if they make it to the big game? 352004[/snapback] I don't know for a fact, but I would be willing to guarantee the NFL wouldn't allow a throwback uni in the Super Bowl.
Reuben Gant Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Start a petition to have them wear the retro stuff for EVERY game. 351977[/snapback] i think NFL licensing agrrements make this prohibitive. Having said that, I'd sign it.
BRH Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 What's all this "if" stojan? Somebody edit the title to replace "if" with "when."
SilverNRed Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 While that would be great, it won't happen. Too much marketing went into the new duds. 351986[/snapback] So? The new uniforms were a failure. They were too much of a break from the Bills (royal blue) tradition and not bold enough to be cool on their own. Basically they look like the old Bills unis and the current Broncos unis had a baby (with the Titans unis possibly carrying the child). A lot of marketing is going into the retro uniforms. If that's what the fans want, give it to them. Er, I mean, give it to US!

BILLS02138 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 How many Super Bowls did we win in the old jersey's? You guys are going over board with the uni debate - just be glad we have a team.

SilverNRed Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 How can a uniform be a "failure?" 352102[/snapback] Ask Islanders fans during the Gorton's Fisherman years.
Ramius Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Ask Islanders fans during the Gorton's Fisherman years. 352152[/snapback] now that might be the single ugliest jersey ever created in any sport...what kind of marketing genius goes..."hey lets take teal and orange as jersey colors, and then put the guy from the fish-stick box on the front, hockey fans will love it"
Corp000085 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I'd like them to wear pads and helmets to the super bowl instead of the usual sweaters if they live north or bathing suits if they live south.
jad1 Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Ask Islanders fans during the Gorton's Fisherman years. 352152[/snapback] Should I ask all three of them?
scribo Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 I don't know for a fact, but I would be willing to guarantee the NFL wouldn't allow a throwback uni in the Super Bowl. 352011[/snapback] The Bills could just do it. Just like Talley use to wear his Spiderman spandex shirt whenever he wanted to, knowing he'd pay a fine though.
