colfax Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 do the Bills announce which games they will wear the throwbacks for? don't see it anywhere on buffalobills.com ... thanks!
The_Philster Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Chris Brown mentioned it in his blog a few times...it was probably mentioned in one of his articles as well Oakland and San Fran are the games this year

ax4782 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I think they plan on certain games, but I think they added them for the Dallas game last year. There's no reason they couldn't add more games where they use the throwbacks. Personally, I think they should make a permanent switch and the make the throwbacks their permanent unis. Much nicer than the ones they have now.

ax4782 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I think they are only allowed 2 games, without an exception from the NFL. Just checked and that appears to be the case. I think I remember them saying something about the exception last year before the Dallas game too, so I think that must have been the case. Either way, I still think the throwbacks should be the permanent uniforms.

colfax Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 i agree with that yep, me too at the least, NFL oughta let the Bills wear em anytime they play an old AFL team: Patriots, Titans, Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers, Raiders
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 yep, me too at the least, NFL oughta let the Bills wear em anytime they play an old AFL team: Patriots, Titans, Jets, Dolphins, Bengals, Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers, Raiders THAT would be great policy. You should e-mail that one in. Maybe nobody else thought of it.
SilverNRed Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 THAT would be great policy. You should e-mail that one in. Maybe nobody else thought of it. If you really think the NFL would adopt a great, common sense policy that would make the fans happy, then you probably don't follow the NFL that closely. The NFL is basically the "How much can we F our fans?" league. The Bills throwbacks are probably my favorite football uniform. I have no idea why the team won't make the switch. We've had the Donahoe look long enough and we're due for a change anyway.
devldog131 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 i agree with that I think we should just go back to the unis of the 90's
Andrew in CA Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I think we should just go back to the unis of the 90's FTW
sistersarah Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I found the answer in Chris Brown's blog. http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/index.jsp?post_id=3956 Against the Raiders and the Niners.

This policy would have teams who don't currently have a throwback jersey make one, and then of course sell it. Teams could have their 2 primary unis, then their alternate to wear in the 2 games of their own choice and THEN the throwback for AFL games. There'd be 4 legal jerseys instead of 3.

Either way, I still think the throwbacks should be the permanent uniforms. That would be great, but do'nt change the helmet logo. The charging bison is far better than the grazing bison.
The Dean Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 That would be great, but do'nt change the helmet logo. The charging bison is far better than the grazing bison. Completely disagree. The Buffalo with the ribbon, looks stupid, IMO. If they could fix the "charging" graphic, I might change my mind. Until then, OLD SCHOOL! The Buffalo must stand.

Much nicer than the ones they have now. Like a lot of people here, I agree completely. The most recent throwbacks are awesome, they look "classy" and the logo looks a lot cooler on clothes/hates/equipment. I think we should just go back to the unis of the 90's I was thinking the same thing, until I realized the only reason I liked/still like those unis was because we were winning...

generaLee83 Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 I am surprised that they wouldn't bring them out for MNF again this year. Oh well. I wouldn't bring them out either after that debacle. I still lie awake at night whimpering over that loss.
