dollars 2 donuts Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) The NFL was using analytics in 1950 and realized that Buffao would continue to lose population. The b*****ds! However, according to the census records although growth had slowed in recent decades Buffalo's population had increased during every census up to and including 1950. ...this info is a little moot as probably everyone involved with the decision is most likely dead, thereby creating little comeuppance satisfaction.

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 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. It is the "streaking" bison... Logo was implemented during the 1970's "streaking" fad. Notice that the has his privates covered up! ;-) ;-) :-P The b*****ds! However, according to the census records although growth had slowed in recent decades Buffalo's population had increased during every census up to and including 1950. ...this info is a little moot as probably everyone involved with the decision is most likely dead, thereby creating little comeuppance satisfaction. There are reasons. I don't want to get too political and talk about the wars (WWI/WWII and beyond) and other factors. The NFL in 1950 was right about not giving BFLO a franchise... They knew what was happening in BFLO during the WWII years and where it was going to head in coming decades... Again... The white with large streaking bison and Super Bowl years unis would be a nice twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I love the new helmets and Unis. +1. If we were winning we'd love these Unis. And we will once we have a good QB !! Oops wrong topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fan of history and generally I know what you and Nobody from the earlier post are talking abou (I know the rust belt was dying and the writing was on the wall). However...dang Exile, now you got me curious! Would love to hear your comments if you got the time. Peace. EDIT: BTW, I love the blue helmet.

Rob's House Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I prefer the unis of the early 90s with the red helmets, but not until we have a winning season. I don't want to watch the team lose with that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) That Blue/Gray look from the Bisons/early Bills is brutal. Sadly my son's college uniforms are roughly the same scheme and it is seriously boring in real life.

sodbuster Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 the 2008 uniform proposal during the whole "green initiative" fad was decent. too bad it never caught on.http://nfl.uniproposal.gogreen.bflo.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 When the Bills wear either combination of blue/white (and not the white/white or blue/blue - which I hate) they have the best unis in the NFL right now. I don't see the need to change a thing, the white helmet looks sharp with it. Just stop letting the players decide to mess it up by wearing the same color pants and jerseys.

BobChalmers Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Best in the league http://www.thejagger...l-uniforms.html 7th best in the league http://espn.go.com/e...l-uniforms-1-32 Thank you!! Folks, as I said before, the broad general consensus of IMPARTIAL (outside/national) observers has been that the current uniforms with the white helmets are among the best in the league. The red helmets may bring back memories of Super Bowls (lost), but strictly in terms of looks they are horrble. "But there's no denying that a few years ago the Bills were the worst-dressed team in pro sports, and now they've become one of the better-looking NFL teams by going back to a retro look" Worst to first (or nearly so) - c'mon guys why even discuss screwing up the best thing the team has done in a decade???

r00tabaga Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 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. Your response is fail. I only brought up the probowl to show that we have lost our distinguished look. Every other team has a white helmet right now. Red is really nowhere to be seen in our current set of unis. We look too much like other teams (Colts). When need more balance of red and blue like the 90's teams. Red end zones were the best too but you can't do those now because we only wear white and blue now.

The only other team in the league with red helmets right now is KC. Would you rather emulate the Colts or the Chiefs? In my opinion, the red helmets made them harder to see on the field. the whole uniform kind of blended together. That said, I would love to see an alternate red uniform.

Hater Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I prefer the 1990's uniforms but I like the White Helmet too, I can't see why the team can't wears the Red Helmet as a alternate, maybe add a Red Jersey to wear with the White Helmet I don't like the Current Jersey that Nike Makes, that half white collar bugs me as do the blue pants The 2011 where better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorWideRight Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I like the white helmets, but what do you think of a black helmet? Gino I like the BLACK helmet. Black would be new and the way to go. Blue helmets would be o.k. too. Anything but the WIDE RIGHT RED! Red helmets are Scott Norwide helmets.

Mark Vader Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 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 That looks sharp! I would be fine with a blue helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster Guy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Totally agree. The red helmets and red endzones are awesome. White is so lame. Look how good that red bills hat looks in the Bud Light Superstition commercial. If it where white it they wouldn't have looked half as good.

It's a cop-out to try and be "tough". You know what makes you tough? knocking the $h1t out of your opponent, not the colour of your jersey.

Phil Hansen Forever Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Nope. I grew up with the white and very glad they went back to them.

BuffBill Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 And to think right now 49er's and Raven fans are talking about the upcoming SB and we find nothing but helmets. Or was it socks? Oh well one of these days I guess. Not one of these days, another one of these years of being Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
