Justice Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Old idea, but this still needs to be said over and over and over again. It's not that I hate our current jerseys. I actually like them. I own a Posluzney, Stroud and my own name home colored jersey a Lynch roadie and I also own a throwback Edwards. I think they look better than the old owes with some jeans on as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the jerseys the Bills wear actually have an effect on our game play, but I do feel like this team simply doesn't feel like the Bills I have always known and love in those new uniforms. I never did get used to the new look. If the Bills ever do go back to those old uni's, I wouldn't be able to contain myself when they run out on the field wearing the old school ones for the first time, again. The only way the Bills ever go back to those old jerseys, we as Bills fans, will have to let TPTB know just how much that old look means to us. How this will happen, I have no idea, but it wouldn't hurt to flood the Bills with a few thousand E-mails regarding the matter.
reddogblitz Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I'm cool with it. I like the suits better before they changed them too. I have old school road Flutie, Rob Johnson, and Quinn Early. Of the new school I have Evans away. Heck, the Giants and Jets both went back to their old school looks full time. Why not the Bills?
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I'd like to see the current throwbacks as permanent...change the helmet to the one they wore around 77-79, white with the current logo and the blue facemask. Road uniforms would be the white throwback jerseys and go with blue pants. I'd like to see that combo. Then, never change it ever again.

I doubt they'd go with the current throwbacks, but I agree they need to do something. The blue jerseys are ok, but the white ones are flat-out putrid.
May Day 10 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 the current retro uniforms they wear should be their permanent jerseys. i work away from Buffalo with a lot of neutral football fans and they all agree those uni's are by far the Bills' best,
zow2 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 A permanent uniform change is a big deal and not likely to happen. One simple thing i wish they would do is start wearing the blue jersey/white pants combo at home like they were intended to be worn. Ditch the blue/blue scheme. To be honest, when i see them i think of LOSING and mediocrity. I know why they started wearing the blue/blue a few games into the new uni era. It was all the rage and they won a couple games in them so all the players became superstitious or something. Well, now all they do is lose at home in them. Go back to the white pants at home fellas. It's a much sharper look and more traditional. Get rid of the track suits.

If not the 60's current throw backs, then get back to the white pants, blue jersey look at home, but NEVER the white jersey, Blue pants combo ever again. That combo is horrid, and not to mention from an era of the poorest Bills seasons ever.
BuffaloBaumer Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 With the 50 year anniversary coming up, if they don't do it now, they never will. Everyone over there is just so stupid and out of touch that it does not shock me at all. let's see - current uniforms - almost everyone hates them ummmm- throwbacks - almost everyone loves them let's go with the current ones...Idiots!!! All of them at the top
Peter Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Please go back to the super bowl era unis and continue to use the throwbacks from the 60's. I refuse to buy the current uni.
Chandler#81 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Count me as another 'Aye' for the throwbacks full time. Otherwise, I agree with Zow, wear the white pants with the current jerseys.
TheLynchTrain Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 And since we donned our new duds, our records have been 2007 7 9 2006 7 9 2005 5 11 2004 9 7 2003 6 10 2002 8 8 42 54 RECORD If theres any reason to change from the pajama/arena football/fairy uniforms we wear now, this would be one of them!
marauderswr80 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Lets not.....the old uniforms from the 90's would look stupid with the uni's out now for teams. Back in the day they were nice, cause they kinda went with the same style as other teams. And NO uniforms dont haunt your records either, lack of coaching, lack of talent, lack of heart and the desire to win from the players and owner does.... If anything keep the throws along with the helmets, just find another style for the away jersey.
nucci Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I say do what SD did. Go back to the '80-'81 uniforms with the white helmet and just update those. http://www.billszone.com/coppermine/albums...Raiders1980.jpg
kegtapr Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Someones been using his TBD recycled topic generator. Don't you guys have some Project Runway on Tivo to go watch or something?
bills_fan Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 My feeling on the current unis are well-known and have been in my sig since I registered on this site. They are putrid and I refuse to buy them. I happily buy the throwback. Get rid of the current ones for either the 90s unis or the throwback, but these arena league specials are awful.
May Day 10 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I dont despise the current jerseys as I do the sabres' primary jersey, but there are so many better options.
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I know it is a small thing but in my mind, it is a big thing. These are loser uniforms from a loser GM. nothing good has come from these uniforms and on top of that, they're ugly as sin. Just like the Sabres slug jerseys, I have not purchase one of these clown outfits (Andre Reed throwback). If I was the GM, I would announce the signing of Julius Peppers and had him his new 90s style Bills jersey. That would get teh fans back. And side note. Do you realize that TD still lives in the Buffalo area? I'm glad he likes it here but if I pretty much destroyed a football team that has taken almost 7 years to recover from, I'd probably move.
bills_fan Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 I dont despise the current jerseys as I do the sabres' primary jersey, but there are so many better options. I despise the Sabres current logo, the jersey itself would not have been too bad with a decent logo.
Bufcomments Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 They should have never got rid of the white helmets I think the White helmets with the charging Buffalo and the all blue home current jerseys would look great I love the throwbacks but I would add the charging buffalo on the helmets
