Starr Almighty Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Really! I just figured they could get a red set of helmets. That's very interesting and so NFL at the same time. 7 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: They can't unless they make the effort to repaint each helmet for one game and I don't see them doing that.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 There must be a peel coat that teams could use to make helmets red for 1 game, but nobody is trying it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it didn't coincide with us becoming crap? They definitely had red helmets for the homerun throwback, and definitely had white helmets for the Losman era, but I can't remember what they wore for the Bledsoe years... I think it was red actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corta765 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 So a lot of miscommunication on helmets here so goes like this: 1960 silver helmets with numbers 1962 switch to white with standing buffalo which see's helmet add minor stripping changes but otherwise the same through 1973 1974 the current rushing buffalo logo is added 1984 helmet color is changed from white to red to help Bills QB Joe Ferguson differentiate between the rest of the divisional opponents which all wore white 2002 helmet receives minor stripping changes as uniforms change to navy. Also Bills propose a new alternate logo which is rejected due to fan backlash (look up 2002 bills proposed logo you can't miss it) 2005-2011 The Bills use throwback uniforms bringing back the standing buffalo and royal blue jerseys. 2011 Bills go back to their classic royal blue look with a white helmet and charging buffalo. 2013 NFL releases one shell rule. Per this rule NFL players are only allowed one helmet which is inspected and cleared by the NFL. Because of this rule and the work needed to alter helmets to other colors it basically eliminates classic favorites like Pat the Patriot, Eagles Kelly Green, Bucs Creamsicle, & Bills Red helmet. Because the Bills are currently able to just swap decals and stickers they are in a pretty strong place uniform wise minus the red helmet.

The target market was originally for high schools and small colleges who wanted a special look for homecoming or a rivalry game. It's really not all that expensive, and keeps these schools from having to provide multiple helmets for each player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be a dumb question as I haven’t really thought it through, but whose decision is it as to what the uni scheme/color combos are for any given season? More specifically, if the fans overwhelmingly supported a return to say, the glory year uniform color combos & red helmets, who would be the ultimate decision maker on that?
