Side note, for whatever reason the Bill's throwbacks for 94 are impossible to find. I only know of two others that exist in the collecting community. Other teams throwbacks are all over the place.

cba fan Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) 13 hours ago, Drunken Pygmy Goat said: I'm not asking if the Bills should change anything... I don't want them to. The idea is to pretend that you're in charge of altering or redesigning a Bills logo, per request of ownership. Use your imagination and get creative. Not "don't change it", or "standing buffalo (<bison)". That is really nice. Would look awesome on Buffal Bulls college helmet with stripes and maybe a little larger. It is a Bull right? and not Bison right? For Bills you could add some navy accents to the body(similar to the accents in the Bull logo above) to show muscle definition etc etc and make it pop out like Vikings did to their horn years ago. To make it pop out and look 3d. Here is a very bad mock of logo with navy outline. Trust me it looks a lot better professionally done but gives an idea. Add accents to shoulder knee cap etc etc and it would pop like Vikings. Edited May 2, 2018 by cba fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) My efforts to make a mock have ended in failure, so I'll just post the idea. If was going to change the unis up, I think I do like the Red, White and Blue theme we had in the Super Bowls era. But...with a few changes. First, if we're looking at a red helmet, road pants have to be blue. Seriously, look at pics from SB XXV. We had red helmets, white shirts and pants. Looked like a bunch of lighthouses. Second, the red on the helmet was a bit too bright (honestly, I absolutely hated that shade of red for our helmets). Why not have a darker red, perhaps even a chrome red helmet, with tweaking to the logo color shading? Something like... Then for the uniforms, I'd keep the actual design as it is now. I'd just change any of the red trim/piping/portions of the uni from red to a chrome red to match the helmet. Finally, I'd then darken the uniform a bit to better match the helmet. Would still be blue, just a bit darker. Not as dark as the Drew Bledsoe era Bills, maybe a shade halfway between that and our current. I think it would all look sharp tied together. The Bills would still have their identity, still have the symbol. They would return to the red, white and blue of the Super Bowl years...a color scheme unique to them, even if the Pats did try to steal our image with their last uni change. At the same time, we'd have something that looked a little sharper, edgier, and of course something most dear to the NFL...marketability!

I just did a quick survey in a classroom of students. I asked them if anyone has ever heard of "Buffalo Bill" before. Only a small group of students put up their hand. I then asked if anyone could tell me who he was. First student to respond said he was a musician (seriously, I am not making this up). Another student said it was a "Bandit" So, looking at future generations, I say the name of this franchise is not exactly connecting with the majority of young people.

I didn't "hate" the slug, but certainly far from a favorite. Hard to compete with the classic stuff. I thought it was interesting to know that the previous Sabres unis were designed to resemble a bison head, with the horns being embedded in the sleeves. Unfortunately they were only noticeable when a player's arms were outstretched or raised, which rarely happens in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
