ExWNYer Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 YE OLE is of the opinion that we are looking at going back to the royal blue jerseys... maybe just a slightly "sharper" version, and white helmets. YE has also not liked the rumored prototypes that have been floating around the interwebs of this new uniform. That said, anything is better than what we have now. Since the day Bledsoe trotted out onto the field when these uni's were unveiled we have been horrible with flashes of mediocrity. YE had heard tell once that the white helmets were changed to red because all of the other teams in the division were wearing white helmets at the time and it was causing an on field disadvantage with Ferguson, who I believe was the QB at the time, having trouble distinguishing. Has anyone else ever heard this? Yes, Joe Ferguson was the QB and the color change was at his request. The rest of the division had white helmets and he felt a different color would cut down on his increasing INTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank "total control" Tom Donahoe. I was at RWS when these dark, dark ugly uniforms with a wide red stripe down the pant legs were revealed. There were maybe 500 fans. Before the players came out, the mood was quite festive but quickly became more sobering with the realization that our beloved Buffalo Bills would never again wear the red,white & blue so ingrained in our memory from those great teams of the early 90's. The curse was on and the football Gods have not smiled down upon us once in all these years. If its true that the colors will one again be Royal Blue, Scarlet Red and White, maybe just maybe the curse will be lifted and the winning ways of 20 years ago will once again be a common occurrence at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
