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. Good . that thing was a piece of crap. no one will buy them. they are just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#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.
