BuffaloBud Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Is it me or is the variety / designs of Bills gear just flat? Comparing to other teams (Denver, NY Giants) ours just seems vanilla. No lightning bolts or Ed Hardy-like designs. We don't even offer a long sleeve dress shirt option.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Are you looking solely at the Bills Store or are you looking at all of the NFL Properties merchandisers? My wife just picked this up for me at Lids. http://www.lids.com/pid/20122727 It's actually even nicer as they oversized the Buffalo logo and those little round vent holes are stitched in red thread. It's very sharp if a bit old school.
DrDawkinstein Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 agreed that the bills merch is a little behind. but ed hardy? lol why dont we get some jersey's made by affliction while we're at it?
BillsZubaz Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I agree... BUT at least we have this little baby.... http://cgi.ebay.com/Mens-BUFFALO-BILLS-Foo...p4999.m20.l1116

Just a couple tips for you: Be sure to keep that brim FLAT like it is in the photo. Also keep tags and stickers on it so everyone knows your hat size as well. Tilt said hat to a 25 degree angle with the brim pointing slight to 11 or 10 o'clock These tips give you instant "street cred." You know they way the youngins' wear 'em now. "Drive-it-like-you-stole-it" style.

There was a store down here, and i can't remember which one, that had a warning saying that anyone leaving the store with a hat with stickers still on it (and no receipt form that store) would be arrested on suspicion of shoplifting. People that leave the stickers on need to be beat.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Another classic: http://shop.zubaz.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=30 Although they're not officially licensed by the NFL anymore.

They've been placed on a sheet of wax paper for safe keeping until you guys can come to some consensus here. Please PM me with the final outcome.

People that leave the stickers on need to be beat. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I was checking a hat out at the mall a while back and they actually had a hand-written sign on the mirror that said, "If you bend the brim, you must buy the hat." How in THE hell can I really see if a hat is going to fit me correctly if I don't give the brim at least a slight bend to it so it "somewhat" forms to my noggin. I saw that sign prior to putting the hat on and set the hat back on the counter and said "thanks not interested" and walked out. And here I thought my late-thirties would be kind to me... now I'm in the old-guy minority that wears his pants around his waist, bends his hat brim, tucks in his shirt and wears a belt that is the correct size. Dammit, get of my yard!!!!
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Go to this site www.footballfanatics.com They have everything.
Bullpen Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 And what sort of hairstyle are you sporting? The feather butt-cut I bet! Unless he's wearing a Bills mesh-back hat waaaaaay back so it's just resting on the top of his head, so's not to mess up the sweet hair do!!!
Heitz Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Totally agree - the Bills have some awful merch. Might just be because I work with a lot of youth culture, but it amazes me that more teams don't work with "hip" designers (or at least do collabs with artists, streetwear companies, etc.). Perhaps someday they'll get smart and hook up some good gear that people will acutally like!

Bullpen Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Damn kids cutting through the backyard again wearing those Starter jackets? What parent would let their kids walk around looking like thugs? Damn... guilty as charged. I DID own one of those.
DrDawkinstein Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Damn... guilty as charged. I DID own one of those. what team? that was always crucial i had a Notre Dame starter... yeah, i know...
Fewell733 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 amazingly it's far better than it was even just 5 or 6 years back. I literally could not find a Bills hat that I would willingly wear in public.
Bullpen Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 what team? that was always crucial i had a Notre Dame starter... yeah, i know... Well of course a Notre Dame, Chicago Bulls, Oakland A's, LA Kings and Buffalo Bills (it was the late 80s/early 90s ya know) Actually I had a Bills one and a Longhorns one.
