FearLess Price Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I like our unis now. At 1st i wanted the red helmets back but we have one of the coolest unis in the league. Simple but cool. I think both color rush unis are cool in small doses like 2 games a year each max. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 what is this obsession TBD has with the draught? Is this part of the healing process? Do we have collective PDSD (Post-Draught Stress Disorder)? Or is it just difficult to accept that THE DRAUGHT IS OVER? Let it go! And good riddance!

flmike Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 OK, I can't take it much longer. It's spelled "drought". "Draught" is a British word (draft). Oh, the drought is not over, it was just interrupted by one game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Our uniforms are the colors of the Union Jack, French Tricolour, and Stars and Stripes. They are going to look good no matter which bits they color red, white, or blue. 4 hours ago, /dev/null said: Might as well, we seem to be ranking everything else lately http://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/bills.shtml Your poll doesn't allow ranking.

reddogblitz Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I voted Flutie era suits. The DOnovan suits were embarassing. The current ones are nice,but would be totally sweet with red helmets IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRHater69 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Guys the red helmets were 1984. Vince Feragamo ('85) and Jim Kelly ('86) had nothing to do with it. It was then head coach Kay Stephenson. At that time in the AFC East the Bills, Dolphins, Pats, and Colts all had white helmets (not the Jets) and Stephenson thought it would help the QBs find their targets especially down field. It started in '83 when Kay took over, they made the buffalo logo bigger on the side of the helmet, and then switched to red the following year. Kay was a QB coach under Knox so he was trying to help the offense out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 My only gripes with the current unis are the collars that have changed, like, every year since 2011. Thick white, to thick white with some unbalanced piping, then thinner white and piping but stops at the V where it changes to blue, and now a smaller section of blue at the V around the NFL shield. Nike totally trashed good jerseys with this design element that only serves to be different for difference's sake. The 'Aints jerseys with the black collar on whites / gold collar on blacks are maybe the most hideous in the league... and then you look at their alt uni without any collar and it's, IMO, the best-looking uni in the league. We should just get rid of the collar altogether and make it all blue, akin to our blue standing buffalo alt set from several years ago. I also am not a fan of the black piping. In the era of HD, it's not necessary for television picture clarity. It's something several teams did in the late '90s-early '00s and which those teams have now corrected. See how the Phins got rid of the darker blue piping for a wider orange; such a small tweak producing such a big visual improvement. I say this with love, because I have a whole side of my family in WNY, but the area is a weird time-warp where everything is about 10 years behind the times. Ditching the black would make space to increase the red or blue accent piping on the shoulders. It would also be more consistent to have the piping around the names rather than just white or just blue. The red piping around the name letters on the current throwbacks is excellent. The current uni set is hands-down the best since we moved on from the Kelly-era unis. These few very minor tweaks would make them perfect, IMO.
