Rubes Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) This thread is retarded. This quite simple, there is no change. Replica jerseys have a thinner collar as they don't use the same Fly Wire technology as the on-field jerseys. The picture at the start of this thread is of a replica jersey, identical to those sold last year. There no change to the current on-field jerseys. Also - why is this important? Also - what's the average age of this thread? 13, 14? Thanks, man. Much appreciated. How could I have been so juvenile?

Your point about flywire and the replicas is true, but Nike's own site shows different collars (i.e., a full blue w/ red trim on the away jersey). Why is it important? Fans are interested in their team's uniforms. Average age of the thread? That's a pretty immature question in itself; only teenagers are permitted to care what the uniforms look like? I'm glad somebody finally linked to this.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It is supposed to replicate the old "horse collars?" Huh? WTF! That is like wearing a "dickey" instead of the whole turtle neck! LoL... My God that look is hideous. Anyway... Why don't players wear horse collars anymore? The article linked in this thread said that "players opt to wear as little as possible." Really? Seems that some players would get protection by adding a collar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAlberta Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) I don't think this thread is retarded, the most common complaint about the NIke Jersey's is the Collar, they even have a nickname for it "the Toliet Bowl Collar" Google NFL toliet bowl collar and it is shown many times and there are several articles about it. I have been holding out specifically on buying a new Jersey because of the collar, I refuse to pay that much for it because of the collar and yes I do have other Bills Jersey's B.Smith , Kelly Lynch and Evans The fans have spoken that is why they are changing it. BTW I am 38 If I am going to spend that much on a jersey I don't by replica's I better like it, it gets pricey. Especially in canuck $$$ Edited May 2, 2013 by BillsfanAlberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Not sure if posted already, but it appears that, lost in all of the draft glory, that ridiculous collar on the jersey appears to be a thing of the past.

#34fan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 From the site, it seems like they changed the "classic" jersey, but not not the on-the-field jersey... Guess we're gonna have to look at those penguin-collars for one more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 The collar in the picture has a much smaller/thinner white band around the collar. Contrast it with this (more hideous) one: Now I'm not sure, maybe you guys are right...perhaps the smaller collar is only for the cheaper jerseys, not the authentic game jerseys. I sure hope they change it. Any truth to the rumor Nix and Gailey wanted the collar to be red instead of white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 That has to be one of the worst jerseys in Bills history. Awful I thought the collars were a cool look. Like Stevie should pop his collar when he scores a TD. I can't imagine why the players didn't want to exploit such a sweet uniform nuance. All they needed was a comb-in-pocket silk screened on the ass of the pants and it would have been like class picture day circa 1984. Nike is usually on those details but alas the moment is lost. This year they should go legit and add real collars or perhaps the turtleneck and thin gold chain look as an homage to south Buffalo? I don't know, maybe I am 14 years old but IMO last year's jerseys introduced the NFL uniform to the world of high fashion and it's going to be hard to put that genie back in the bottle.

The newer jersey probably wont be released for a few months. Got to sell as many older jersey's as possible 1st. They didnt unveil these new uniforms until late June in 2011. I remember the throw back uni wasnt even unveiled until training camp. Edited May 10, 2013 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to change something every year to get people to buy new jerseys. These Nike jerseys kinda suck. I bought one, they fit and feel terrible. You watch the games and all the player have a square patch of sweat on their stomachs? Not that they look that bad on TV, but terrible design.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Those collars remind me of my old boss at an insurance company. He had a blue shirt with that ugly white collar. They should just make that white collar blue & be done with it. Most, not all, guys i have met that where shirts like that are dbags!!! arrogant s.o.b's.

BillsFanForever19 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 This was taken today at the NFL Rookie Premiere. Sorry guys. But I haven't seen any evidence that says the collars are going away. I think they just made a quick throwaway for the draft without one and everybody got excited. The pics of the replica jerseys are the same style as last years. The replica jerseys don't have the flywire collars. Only the "Limited" and "Elite" jerseys offer those. Replicas just have a half white colored collar.

mrags Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Can we just give up in this thread already. Like I said back in the first page. It's because the pics that we see with the slightly smaller white neck roll are really just the cheapos. And by cheapos I mean the $150 jerseys that Nike rapes us on. On top of all of this, the fabric and sewing patterns on these jerseys are absolutely hideous. Looks like there are patches everywhere. Like the entire jersey is made from patches. These Nike jerseys really make me sick to my stomach. What was wrong with the old fashioned mesh that Reebok and Puma used before it? Nike being Nike had to change a perfectly good product. If it wasnt for "new" jerseys and designs in color schemes, Nike would not be selling any jerseys. All I hear is people's complaints about these monstrosities.
