NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Would it be asking too much for the red end zones to come back? And the red helmets for that matter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagon127 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Any chance for one Endzone to say "Buffalo" and the other "Bills"? I like how Green Bay, Cleveland and Indianapolis, etc. do that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note the problem I have with the Bills stadium isn’t the turf, it’s the proximity of the corner endzone to the wall that is the danger. Not sure if the Browns still have grass but I remember many games it was nothing more than painted dirt or mud in the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 As has been stated before: The red paint fades too fast into a pinkish color. For that reason, and also because blue is clearly the primary color with which the Bills want to identify, I don't see the red end zones coming back any time soon. With any luck, the NFL will change the dumb "only one color helmet allowed" rule, and we'll get 90s throwbacks some day. End zones, though? It ain't happenin'. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I wish they would put the AFC and NFL logos is the end zones like the old field from the 90s...or maybe they could add the charging Buffalo on both sides of the team name...but there is too much empty space in the current end zones with just the name “Bills” imo.

sullim4 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I agree... I wish they had changed something with the turf design besides the size of the logo. It hasn't changed since they overhauled the uniforms, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember the 31-0 win over the pats in 2003 being the first game on the fake grass type turf with the "Unpainted Endzones". Then they switched to blue end zones several years later, and players were slipping quite a bit on that turf. Hopefully this turf works better. The third field surface in 11 years is an exaggeration, trying to count the last year of the "Green Endzone turf" as an entire era of that turf. Its really the 3rd playing surface in 16 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
