todzilla Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Just read the article too and I agree on both. Stop trying to come up with something new. Just go back to the old already and be done with it. Everybody loves the throwback stuff and buys them like crazy. I don't know anyone that likes the new better than the old. It's just as frustrating as following the teams. The Bills are worse though, I would change them yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I agree totally on the Bills. The Jim Kelly era suits were cool. Never should have gone away from it. Sabres I have no opinion since I don't do hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 For the Bills, I'm kind of split. I don't hate the new uniforms, but they don't compare to the 90's uniforms. For the Sabres, I like how the new jerseys have the patches on the shoulders or the numbers on the front. But I agree, the logo sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I actually like the home Jerseys but I agree the away uniforms are a little much. Perhaps toning down the away uniform would be what I would like to see. I think the royal blue gets a little too much hate personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I agree with everything they said. I just don't understand why the Bills front office doesn't see it that way slso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cru Jones Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I would love to see the bills go to the 60's unis full time and use the SB era unis as a throwback. I love the sb era look but i remember welcoming the change when it happened. In article used the word "stale" and i think before they changed that was a good description of those SB unis at the time. Little did i know they would change to the worst unis in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABURZFAN Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 i'd like to see both teams go back to the old school uni's. if the Sabres have been #1 in sales for the past 3 years, it's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nfl I agree with the Bills but the Sabres Slug has dominated NHL jersey sales the past 3 years. I agree with everything said. As for the Sabres, I don't think the yellow "slug" is as prestigious as the old blue buffalo with the two swords. The Bills home jerseys have grown on me, but the road uniforms.. yuck... they make me loathe road games even more. Wouldn't the Bills profit if they created a new uniform because the fans will buy them? I could see the Bills transitioning to the throwbacks full time seeing as how they have now created a road throwback too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Bills went from the charging blue buffalo on the white helmet to the charging blue on the red helmet I think the Bills reached the height of great uniforms. Supposedly they did that because at the time four of the teams in the AFCE (Bills, Pats*, Colts, and Fish) had white helmets (Jets were green already) and they wanted to make it easier for the QB to see his receivers down the field. And we had all those great SB years with that great uniform. But I don't think you can go back permanently to an old design. We should probably keep the current unis until we start to win and then maybe unveil something totally new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qbtoleeforthetd Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I actually like the home jerseys and don't really get the arena football league besides the royal blue piping. The aways however are terrible and the navy shoulders need to be replaced with just white. I like the sabres jersey now after getting used to it. I think the numbers on front and patches are a great look compared to most hockey jerseys, especially non nhl jerseys. Unfortunately, they are right in saying that the 3rd jersey/throwback jerseys for both teams are a better option although I prefer the new sabres navy version of the two swords logo over the old royal and gold.

Lv-Bills Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Just make sure we vote the Bills to the top. Hey, it probably won't mean anything, but you never know who may see it. Russ, marketer extraordinaire, might pay more attention to stuff like this rather than finding an established DE. Come on TBD, VOTE THE BILLS FOR THE WORST UNI'S Anything will help get us to the throwbacks permanently, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 But I don't think you can go back permanently to an old design. We should probably keep the current unis until we start to win and then maybe unveil something totally new. Umm, the Jets did it. And this year, the 49ers unveiled new unis that are a slight tweak of the Montana-era ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 4. Buffalo Bills BILLS OVERHAUL INDEX S 8 U 10 C 8 K 9 Congratulations, Bills fans -- your team wins the award for "NFL team that looks like it belongs in the Arena League." It's gotten so bad that the current uni set has replaced Scott Norwood as the worst thing that ever happened to this franchise. The awful blue-on-blue home look, the pointless royal blue yoke outline, the ridiculous red side piping (even worse on the road jersey than at home) -- it's all too much. Worst of all, everyone loves the Bills' throwback uniforms, so why not just go back to those? S.U.C.K.itude: 35 out of 40. Can someone with Ralph's personal E-mail PLEASE forward this?? Thank you!

SouthernMan Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...mp;sportCat=nfl I agree with the Bills but the Sabres Slug has dominated NHL jersey sales the past 3 years. The problem I have with the Bills uniforms is the dullness of the color. Nothing says "blahhh" more than the faded navy blue look the Bills wear from top to bottom for home games. It has all the "pop" of a washed-out ink stain on a white shirt. At least with high def it jumps out a little more, but on your basic analog broadcast, they look god awful. The throwbacks make them look like they came to play good old fashion smashmouth football when they step out on the field. The current unis give the impression they came to play superhero's with their neighborhood playmates, but their moms left the capes in the dryer. Side note: I see the AAA Bisons have ditched their "smiling wolfman sliding into base" logo. That was the one where the bison (I presume)logo looked like a teenage werewolf. I wonder what nitwit originally ok'd that look. I can't figure out how the manimal's got both hooves and fingers! What kind of genetic mutant was representing the Bisons?! http://buffalo.bisons.milb.com/about/page....sp&sid=t422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 The Sabres uniform is fine. It's the logo that sucks. The Bills need to go back to some sort of combination of 1964 and 1980. I prefer the white helmet but am torn between the standing red buffalo and the blue charging buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the white helmet but am torn between the standing red buffalo and the blue charging buffalo. Your Helmet is dead on. Charging Buffalo on white is slick. I am all for that uniform-or the late 80's-early 90's look. Simple is better. My favorite NFL uni is the Giants. Simple color scheme, and looks good for football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
