stuckinny Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Make it the Super Bowl jerseys and add the patch. Then take a page out of the sabres playbook and auction off the game worn jerseys and donate that money to one of Ralph Wilsons many charity endeavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRT88 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 AW posted this on Twitter... thought it would be cool to wear black jerseys for the home opener IHO Ralph? I don't like the "black-out" for fans (or white out, etc) because it is too collegiate for the NFL IMO and plus it doesn't seem to help. I like the black jersey though! You have to click on the IG link to see the jersey idea. Aaron Williams @ajwilliams23 Apr 10 How dope would this be if we had black uni's and we had a blacked out game? Like if you agree!… http://instagram.com/p/moGjd-DMo0/ The guy makes millions of dollars a year and yet he still thinks the Oregon Ducks uniform of the week thing is a "dope" idea. AW, grow up and act like the professional you are suppose to be. The Bills don't have all black uniforms and black isn't one of the team colors. Now if you promise me you'll beat NE, you can play naked as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of an off color jersey, it's a freaking game that mostly 20 something year old kids play. It ain't that serious. What's more childish? A 23 year old kid that likes the idea of a black jersey or a 50 year old man who paints his face and stands in 30 degree weather with his shirt off? People are really hard on him over a stupid comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you haven't noticed the change, jerseys are huge for college kids, and the new age NFL. Jersey selection is used as a recruiting tool now.

BuffaloBaumer Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just a terrible idea with no tradition rooted in it. If they were the ever change the uni for one game (which they won't) make it the EXACT duplicate of the 1st game ever played in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't mind a black jersey eventually but am quite happy with what we have now. I actually think our current uni's are some of the best looking in the league and that has nothing to do with being a Bills fan. I don't think wearing a black jersey is an appropriate way to honor Ralph because there is no way they wear those and don't try to sell them to the fans. I think a patch would be best but also wouldn't mind something on the helmet. I remember a long time ago (in the 80's??) the Eagles had a black stripe on the side of their helmet to honor someone's passing...no idea who. I wouldn't mind something like that. Sometime a patch kind of gets lost on TV...a black stripe through the buffalo would not. Edited April 21, 2014 by 3 --> 10 Connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey selection is used as a recruiting tool now. Ohio State throws on new "special edition" unis every "big game" and every Michigan game. Its a Nike thing with the colleges I think and yes, huge recruiting tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ask "AW" if it would be "dope" if the December home games are again "blacked out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 i'm all for tradition, but our jersey and logo isn't "cool." if we want to attract more fans and have some national appeal i think a 3rd jersey and maybe even a different logo to go with it would do wonders. we can still have our normal uni but for 1 or 2 games a year we could go to the new uni. believe it or not, oregon is now a national powerhouse in college sports thanks in large part to their close ties with nike. the younger guys love that they have so many cool looking jerseys and sneakers. it helps them get tons of recruits. i see lots of people around with oregon gear on too, even around here. this wasn't the case 10 yrs ago. it wouldn't be a bad thing if tons of people around the country started sporting Bills gear. i say go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 me too, I can't stand teams going to an all black jersey, even if it's for one game. I agree. Part of the identity of the San Jose Sharks is the color teal. They came out in game one of the playoffs in their alternate black jersies and said they're going to wear them throughout the playoffs. So there you had a sold-out crowd all decked in teal and their team on the ice was in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 That would be unnecessary, IMO. But I love AW. He is a young, energetic, dedicated member of the Bills. Yeah, he is a really good kid...and was a great pick by the Bills. The way people here are so quick to trash players, whether they struggle as rookies, or make a harmless comment, is pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 The original post. Not sure if it was the Ops or AW My fault on the confusion. So one of AW's followers tweeted to him a pic that he created where it took a pic of him in a bills uni and turned it into a black jersey, just for fun. People do this on twitter all the time (make artistic pics of athletes), really I don't know why. Anyway, AW then said that he thought it would be cool (or "dope" haha) for the Bills to wear black unis for a game and for the fans to do a black out. One or more of his followers replied that they thought it would be cool to do that in the home opener. No one's idea other than some random follower of AW but I wondered what you all thought about the unis and if you felt it would be cool or not IHO of Ralph. I agreed with those that thought the uni was cool but not as a tribute to RW. Like the armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
