Golden Wheels Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Bring back the powder blue/white w/standing buffalo. BTW The Bills never wore powder blue. The Chargers did. The Bills wore a royal blue.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 An easy way to improve the current uniforms (which aren't going anywhere, unfortunately) would be to wear them the way they were intended... blue jerseys with white pants, white jerseys with blue pants. That way, the stripes match up (which is the worst part about when the jersey match the pants, in my opinion), there isn't sensory overload with one color (all blue or all white)... everyone wins. There's no way this (blue-on-blue): http://www.dailynewsgroup.com/pics/padn/40...dn/2007-9-12-ed looks better than this (blue-on-white): http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/03iTaGa5YGd0O/340x.jpg Or this (white-on-white): http://www.billszone.com/gallery2/d/3204-2...ffalo_bills.jpg Looks better than this (white-on-blue): http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/02g4bdm1IKgEf/610x.jpg All that said, these (throwbacks) are the best uniforms in franchise history: http://cdn.faniq.com/images/photos/photo_l...76/25976-19.jpg No way. I like the all-blue and all-white looks. Don't get me wrong, the road unis are horrendous regardless, but the all-white is better than white-on-blue. The latter belongs in the arena league. You can't tell me that uniform Evans is wearing looks better than Lynch's.
ans4e64 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 No way. I like the all-blue and all-white looks.

You can't tell me that uniform Evans is wearing looks better than Lynch's. I agree on second thought. I thought the blue pants would look better with the white jersey, but it doesn't.
devldog131 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I don't mind the new unis when they are worn blue/blue and white/white. My only complaint is the numbers on the road jersey, they need to be the same color as the blue on the shoulders. Having the two different blues just doesn't look right. Make the numbers on the road jerseys navy blue and I have no complaints about the unis.
GhostsOfTheRockpile Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 No way. I like the all-blue and all-white looks.

You can't tell me that uniform Evans is wearing looks better than Lynch's. Interesting. Suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. I hate the white-on-white and blue-on-blue, but so be it. I think one thing we can ALL agree on is (a) the current throwbacks should be our home unis, (b) they should develop a white version of the throwbacks to use as our away jerseys, © both should go with the current throwback pant and sock combination (with black cleats), and (d) the throwback helmet should be utilized full-time. All that said, they never should have changed away from this: http://www.geocities.com/bflobuzrd_2000/thurman02.jpg

The throwbacks are definitely great, but I like seeing them a couple times a year. It makes it seem special.
NicholasCal1 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I would love to see the bills dump these unis in favor of the old ones.
dollars 2 donuts Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I love my Bills...but they might have the most God awful road unis in the entire league.
PromoTheRobot Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 wow like this has never been discussed in many other threads Maybe the Supercollider created a loop in space/time that captured this thread? The Bills can wear polka dots for all I care...as long as they win. PTR
Mark Vader Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I agree, why can't we just go back to the standing buffalo unis full time? They look so much better, IMO, and it seems that alot of people agree with me. So there it is, why has there been no talking of changing uniforms since we switched to our current awful ones? Our current unis have no distinction from any other unis. I agree with you on going back to the standing buffalo uni's, I miss the royal blue. However I part ways with bringing back the standing buffalo full time. The charging buffalo is the better logo.
Buftex Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Still my favorite Bills uniforms: Road: http://www.billszone.com/gallery2/d/33555-1/1980cribbs.JPG Home: http://assets.buffalobills.com/uploads/new...2DE5648B927.jpg
Catholic Guilt Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 We need the Buffalo slug on the uni's to push them over the top.
John Adams Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Those road uniforms are absoloutley hideous. Bring back the powder blue/white w/standing buffalo.I really like the simplicity of the old uniforms, the new ones have too much going on. Go BABABABABABills! Finally some sanity.
The Senator Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 YES - these are the ones... Link ...and gotta have the black cleats.
Buftex Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 YES - these are the ones... Link ...and gotta have the black cleats. I like the trhowbacks okay, but I don't like all the stripes around the sleeves...while I love the white helmet, I kind of like it better with the current logo better. The uniforms they wore while Chuck Knox was there, are my favorites.
