NOPE - keep our current Unis and keep the alternate that we wore yesterday as a special.

 

we do not need to look like the colts like we did today...

I don't understand this. How did we look like the Colts? The Colts have two white stripes around their shoulders. We had a different pattern of stripes, including some red, on our upper arms. The Colts have solid white pants. We had the red and blue stripes on our white pants. Even the shade of blue is different, and of course there's the helmet difference.

 

Our current unis look as much like Tennessee's and Denver's as our throwbacks look like the Colts', perhaps more.

I realize I'm in the big minority here, but I rather like the new jerseys.

 

When you dominate in the new jerseys, it just looks *cool*.

i'm with you...i like the throwbacks, and they are cool for a game or 2 (i have a spikes throwback), buti really like the current navy ones...the D looks much mroe badass sacking a QB in the navy on navy then they do in plain old royal blue...

Nah, those new/old throwback uni's are mint. Best jersey's I've seen in the NFL in quite a while. We should switch. I thought they made our guys look more athletic.

 

 

EDIT: JP was on ESPN radio after the game and I'm paraphrasing here, said "We looked so freaking cool today, I love the uni"

I've never understood how some teams pick and change uniforms - unless it's to grab cash through new trinket sales after the changes.

 

Those new black Raven's uniforms are as bad IMO as those black ones for ATL, SD's goofy stuff, the B'gals Halloween and Orange Popsicle jobs, etc., and I've never cared for the Bill's navy jobs as the thread originator stated.

 

I look at GB, IND, PGH, NYJ, OAK, KC, PHI, DAL and others and like them. Classy.

I like the royal Blue. And for the Record, I hate the Fins in Orange. (Reply from Ramius Im expecting: I hate the Fins in anything.)

Agreed 100%...

 

I freaked when I 1st saw them...Thought I was watching the wrong Game...

 

And it may just be me...But the Bills Red Helmet is one of the best (if not THE best) looking Helmets in the NFL....Tweak whatever...But NEVER the Helmet...

 

:angry:

I was thinking that.. Keep the red helmet, use the throwback jersey with the away white pants that are used now, with the wider stripe down the side. Nice.

 

Oh yeah, how the jerseys currently have that red stripe down the side, well take the throwback unis and color the stripe down the side, but instead of red, use the current dark blue, to match the stripe on the current away white pants.

 

Could someone with the tools mock that up for me? thanks.

Yes, yes, yes ugliest thing EVER. I swear the opposing team must get a migrane by halftime.

You shouldn't hate (just watching your six, Rich)

I'm not a fan of the standing buffalo neither. You can't see the horns, the little eye looks stupid, and I hate how the chin strap covers the logo on most players' helmets.

ok ok fair comment

 

but I still prefer us with the red helmet and the charging buffalo...

 

and the new duds (navy) are by far some of the coolest in the league... and the all-white away gear is awesome - i really have no gripe at all.

 

we look nothing like the titans (although the shoulder in the away are kinda similar) and we are wayy off the broncos.

Interesting, psychological warfare?

 

On a side note, there is one thing far uglier. Ever see Clemson University wear all orange, top and pants? A local Tallahassee Radio host said "It's like they've got 11 moving traffic cones on the field."

I'm barely old enough (I'm 36) to remember the original standing buffalo. I've spent most of my life associating the Bills with the charging buffalo, for about a dozen years on the white helmet and for more than two decades on the red one.

 

Yet I LOVED seeing them run out there with the old standing buffalo on their white helmets. I got chills, in fact. Like Kent Hull said -- and he played in the red helmets -- these uniforms just LOOK like Buffalo. I flashed back to all the tapes I've seen of the old days -- with Tom Sestak and Ron McDole chasing down hapless QBs, with Kemp airing it out to Golden Wheels and Cookie and the Juice breaking loose, and Lou Saban pacing the sideline. It made me feel good. Damn good.

 

No one would be happier than me if we went back to the old unis.

Our new navy 'duds' are crap. I can tolerate the home version, but not with the navy pants too. The road jersey is the one that I really dislike with all that navy blue on the shoulders. Blue on blue makes the players look too slow, and that's a college-look, not professional.

 

We have totally gone away from tradition, and yesterday was a true reminder of that. The black shoes with the 1965 look was outstanding. With blue pants for road games that would be the ultimate uniform. I for one really miss that white helmet.

 

You don't see great clubs in sports make such major overhauls in their uniforms, only slight tweaks over the years. Eg, Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Raiders, Steelers, etc ... Some that have made that error realized it and went back to their originals Eg, Jets, Giants, etc

 

That shade of blue worn yesterday is not royal, and I love the way it looked. No overdosing of particular colors, everything was quite balanced. Just like when I was a boy and saw them play at the Rockpile the very first time.

 

I guarantee any of you that if there was a poll taken, where we were all limited to just 1 vote, the throwback look of yesterday would win in a landslide ..

I get chills when I see the team stream out onto the field in the red helmets...

 

The red helmets have to stay - it's the best part of the uniform by a long way.

 

I love the throwbacks - but I like that they are special throwbacks - lets keep them like that, special occasions only.

And does anyone have a good wallpaper shot of either JP or Willis from yesterday? I need a new background for my computer.
