mob16151 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If you really want to do grey jerseys, it should be the 1946 Buffalo Bisons uniforms.

Buffalo Destroyers! Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I stumbled across this site http://billsportsmap...me=nfl-afc-east. That's where i found the old uniform info and the cartoon picture of buffalo bill cody riding a buffalo. It actually has alot of really cool history on football in buffalo.

Wagon Circler Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't hate the new blue ones. I just love the 90's ones the best. We just look like everyone else now. Just look at the 2 posters above. One has the white and one has the red helmet as their avatar. The red is more Buffalo to me. Funny. I was thinking the same thing the other day. Red just seems more natural now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorWideRight Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Buffalo has the best uniforms in the league. Period. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan. Yes you are. Only because you are a fan. If you were a Pats fan you would say they have the best uniforms in the league. It's whatever you get used to seeing the most.

AtlantaStampede Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'd agree to pink helmets if it meant getting back to the playoffs. Personally I like the white. Stick around long enough and the throw back/alt unis will be the 90's red and blue. Just get rid of the white Nike collar and 'd look even better.

nodnarb Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) The white helmets are freaking great. Love them. But I do miss the red end zones. The field that Donahue built was crap. The field they replaced it with was better, but why they didn't reinstitute the endzone color associated with our best years..beyond me...

That would be original and would give the Bills their own identity. That's it folks, they need pink helmets and pink socks. That would also solve the issue of a nick name for their defense. They could call them the 'Pinky D'. I think we have a winner, ding, ding, ding, ding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flmike Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I liked the 90s teams too, but remember that a lot of bad teams wore the red helmets too. Bring back the standing buffalo and some more wins and all will be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I just wish they'd move back to the standing buffalo,on the white helmet. NO! Having the grazing bison logo for a throwback game is fine, but the charging bison is the better logo and should remain the Bills logo forever. I'm fine with the white helmets, granted it's a bit boring, but it does look better when the Bills wear all white and it looks just as good when the Bills wear the blue pants. The red helmet never looked good in the all white look. Edited January 29, 2013 by Mark Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) In my household, I am in charge of finances(because I'm good at it and my wife isn't).....and my wife is in charge of everything to do with colour coordination and style(because she's good at it and I am not). I guess I'm just too masculine to have a strong opinion like so many others in this thread on colour coordination and style of uniform. (I like the red one).

Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I am just ranting here but I had a hard time distinguishing between all of the white AFC helmets in the probowl. Between the Fins, Jets, Titans, Bills, Colts, etc I couldn't tell who was who. I know of 4 teams that are getting uni Nike redesigns this year (Jax, Miami, Bucs & Vikes) and wish we would ditch the "overly" blue. We had it right in the 90's with red socks & helmets. It was classic. The red endzones were iconic. You knew it was the Bills the instant you saw a highlight. We could still do the 60's throwbacks for a few games as I like those much better than the current set. Just miss the red. Anyone else just want the 90's set back? Edit: I believe you need to wait 5 years for logo changes, not uni redesigns. never wanted the white helmets, red all day but no need to change the logo (unless it's my avatar of course, it would totally look bad azz) Terrible idea! Keep the helmets white and look like a pro team! Red is o.k. for pee wee league, but has no place in professional football (NFL). White is boring and sheep mentality ... has no place in pro football, that's just stupid Change the socks to red and I like. and more red in the uniform, red is aggressive and blue and white are passive. I'd be happy if they pulled a Sabres and went Red, Black and Silver :thumbsup: If you really want to do grey jerseys, it should be the 1946 Buffalo Bisons uniforms. Or go totally retro like the steelers with the Buffalo all-americans uniforms looks like the league has always been against us. And NO to the prison unis.

eball Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 By all means, the Bills should change their helmets so it's easier to distinguish their players in the freaking Pro Bowl. Fail. The Bills' current uniforms are among the sharpest in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turdferguson Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Red helmets are so much better I hate the white ones.

BobChalmers Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Red helmets looked like junk. The team uniforms are now widely regarded as among the best in the entitre league. Why on Earth do people want to undo that?? Get over it, please. I realize for a modest slice of the fan population who grew up with them, they seem normal, but the red was a blip in the team's history, and added only for the pathetic reason of trying to get Joe Ferguson to throw fewer INT's. Nobody thought they looked better then either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followiing everyone else is a sheep mentality. The pink they wear for the "cancer" awareness would give the Bills their own Identity. Pink could become the main color that the team could be identified with. Pink is like cotton candy which is sweet, just like the other poster said. That would be the Bills identity, "SWEET". Pink pants would be the ultimate. Picture this, pink helmets with a dark red buffalo. White jersey, pink pants, bright red socks, and pink shoes. That would be so cool.

Buftex Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes you are. Only because you are a fan. If you were a Pats fan you would say they have the best uniforms in the league. It's whatever you get used to seeing the most. I dunno, I am not a Redskins fan, but I think they have the best looking uniforms in the league (burgundy jersey, yellow pants version). I think the Bills uniform now (minus the ugly collars that most teams have) are one of the better looking unis. Maybe it is an age thing, but this seems like one of the more devisive issues of the day, for Bills fans. I grew up on the white helmets, loved the change from the standing to charging buffalo. However, never really liked the change to red helmets...and it was not popular back in 1984 when the change was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I believe you need to wait 5 years for logo changes, not uni redesigns. I told my wife, it used to be easy to spot the Bills in the Pro Bowl because of their red helmets, much tougher this year. Not as tough as most years though, since lately we haven't had many players in the game. With that said though, I like the new helmets, although not a huge fan of the way the stripe widens in the back, but I can live with that. For what it's worth, Red helmuts didn't bring a championship... White one did! True, but you have to be at least 60 years old to remember it? I am 50 and was still probably crawling to get places then. Probably the worst helmet in my memory was the one just prior to this with the red helmet, grey/white/blue striples, but then again that whole uniform was disgusting. 90's era was great, probably because we had a winning team-that helps.

Meathead Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 yeah if it were my choice i would go with the blue helmet after thats its a virtual tie with the red or white helmet with me. i like them both, the red because its more unique and the white bc its a cleaner more classic look. im just glad we got rid of those stupid red stripes on the sides of the previous jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 For what it's worth, Red helmuts didn't bring a championship... White one did! Well, why don't we take the $130 Mil Stadium Renovation money and rebuild the "storied" Rockpile? As I recall, we went to Red because everyone else in the AFC East had White, and that was why Fergy was throwing INT's. At least that was the story at the time! Really, I like both.

Red is o.k. for pee wee league, but has no place in professional football (NFL). Not a terrible idea. I read some where the reason why they did it is so the QB could pick out his receivers better b/c they all look they same down the field . HEY !! that's what happened to Fitz he didn't know he was throwing to the wrong guy !! He though b/c the helmets were the same colors that he was throwing to our guys ...

ColdBlueNorth Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I cannot help but associate the red helmets to our successful teams of the 90's.
