8-8 Forever? Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Why, because Kay Stephenson said so? Our helmets should be white and we should go back to the unis worn from 1974-1982. The one OJ is wearing. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall05/brownlee/bills.html Agreed. Less Red, more White. Especially get rid of the stupid red helmet.

The one OJ is wearing. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/fall05/brownlee/bills.html Those are my favorite uniforms as well...but when you think about it, the white jerseys they wore back in those days are not all that different than the atrocious road jerseys the Bills wear these days. This is often missed in these uniform discussions...why the Bills would go back and try to evoke memories of this era of Bills football is beyond me...check it out: Bruce Mathisonm Buffalo Bills 1985 http://oneforceteam.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/brucemathison.jpg JP Losman, somewhere in teh ozone: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2006/09/10/1157917957_6605.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/gallery/09_10_06_pats_bills%3Fpg%3D17&usg=__viyC9KwAcr4ca0KldICk-KqaPrY=&h=375&w=500&sz=66&hl=en&start=25&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=avV8r5A3KHSvGM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djp%2Blosman%26start%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1 Agreed. Less Red, more White. Especially get rid of the stupid red helmet. Don't mind the red so much...but just stick to three colors (red, white & blue) with only one shade of blue...

Hey Buf, I agree. The only change from '83 to '84 was the helmet. It didn't go with the blue pants and that's why they changed to white pants when Kelly arrived. I didn't like the red helmet as much as the white and I still like the charging Buffalo. JP Losman, somewhere in teh ozone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Who cares. Or is it just the Madden generation that even pays attention to this crap? Just play the !@#$ing game. Or should I let you guys get back to discussing what you're goin to wear to the prom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Please please lets get rid of these clown outfits they have been wearing and go back to a classic look with Blue tops/white pants, white tops/blue pants. We can keep the charging buffalo but time to go to white background. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See we've had a sucky team for so long we think a change of unis to "the good ole days" is miraculously make them a good team or even make a damn difference or make them worth watching. I'm watching football not a fashion show. How many games did they wear the throwbacks and still suck the past few years. Hey, but they looked good.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If we were winning SBs like NE with their ugly robo cop unis, I would understand the hesitance to change. But we have sucked balls since one of the worst GMs in NFL history introduced this butt ugly unis. It's a small thing but I think it is important. They need to change the culture of losing. And starting with these loser unis would be a nice start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Blizzard Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 http://jockpost.com/nfl-nike-uniforms-2012-real-fake/ In addition to a respectable team next season that can stop the run and throw to a tight end, I would really love new uniforms. Think the Bills uniform drawing here, whether real or fake, is the best of the lot. It's a combo of the throwback, new concepts and the current helmet. I'm thinking white uniforms - as in "we surrender" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the record, the Broncos won a SB their first 2 years in their new unis, so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Please please lets get rid of these clown outfits they have been wearing... Ironic that you should put it that way, BFIR - through my sources ' deep inside One Bills Drive ', I have managed to obtain this secret photo of the Bills new uniforms...

Think the Bills uniform drawing here, whether real or fake, is the best of the lot. It's a combo of the throwback, new concepts and the current helmet. I like that look, if it is real. But as long as the players don't vote to wear the dark on dark at home anymore, even their current uniforms are fine, if worn as they were originally supposed to have been way back earlier this decade when Bledsoe and Fletcher first modeled them during a sunny May day. Bledsoe had on the home version of dark jersey and white pants, and Fletcher sported the roadies with dark pants and white jerseys. I would really like to see them get rid of the current uniforms altogether, and go back to something more old school and basic. But whatever uniform they end up wearing, I'm sick and tired of the worn out stupid punk looking dark jersey / dark pants combo for home games. They need to be shelved once and for all.

Red Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) God, does this never get old? First off, this ridiculous thing was out last offseason. Second, why...every freakin' offseason, do we have to have these new uniform pansies posting about changing the outfits? No offense to the women in the crowd, but different colored uni's don't win games. Let's get a dominant defensive line. And offensive line. And a franchise QB. A TE. A #1 receiver. Changing uniforms... Edited January 4, 2011 by Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Why does it bother people when we discuss uniforms? You see the thread title...stay away if you don't like it. It's the off-season. There will be thousands of threads on the draft and free agency. Not a big deal. NO ONE is saying new uniforms will change the team or that we prefer new unis over better players. Lighten up a bit.
