I liked the olden days so much better, in the 80's and 90's. Each team had only two sets of uniforms. White was for home and colored was for away. Now it is too complex.

Especially that dreadful “color rush” gimmick. It’s all to sell more merchandise I suppose.

Ugh I hope not. We’re terrible when we wear those god aweful looking uniforms. 

I love the old helmet and that should be the only helmet we wear IMO.


But I agree, the all white look is crap and always has been.

All is correct except the red helmet.  The red/blue/white tri-color never looked right.  2 out of the 3 elements should match. 

 

See, I liked the tri-color.  It was the road jerseys I hated.  Red helmet, white jersey and pants looked horribly wrong.  They looked like lighthouses, would have been better with blue pants.  As for now, I love our current unis, better then any past set...except when we go white helmet, white shirt, blue pants.  Still a jarring case of "one of these things is not like the other."

 

...color rush is an abomination and an eyesore.

Buffalo in the fall is so HOT they clearly want to make the road team wear their sun-absorbing dark jersey's.   Worked so well against the Chargers last season.  But hey, it's not unique to Buffalo....several home teams have worn white jersey's early in the season like Baltimore this past weekend vs Arizona.  

 

Also, the players/coaches are superstitious.  They won 2 games already in white jersey's so maybe they just want to roll with it.  

 

For me I prefer the home uni to be the classic blue jersey w/ white pants.  That should be it every week.

The all whites are lame.

 

The color-rush Reds burn the eyes.

 

Like the blues - and do not care if it is a blue or red helmets - thought the old blue unis with the red helmets were pretty balanced and classy.

 

Chest bump.

Worst uniforms in the history of mankind.

I don't know how everyone else feels... but I'm OK if the Bills wear evening gowns and heels... just so long as they win 10 games.  Go Bills!

 

I am not sure about that.  Model some and give an idea what they will look like but remember they need to be approved by NFL equipment nazis.

Those people remind me of the HOA inspectors at first house I bought who went thru garbage cans trying to determine brand of paint I used.

it’s alright, the disparity between us and the Bengals is so great, wearing the surrender outfit might keep the game somewhat interesting until the 3rd quarter!

Or until the 3rd quarter when we fall apart like last week

I actually don’t think those are too bad... besides the lettering and numbering

I love the new uni's.  Especially the white helmets.  Like old but new again.  I was stoked when they switched to white helmets a few years back though they'll always remind of Fitzpatrick (and untimely, game-killing interceptions) a little. 

 

I'm torn on the Bills logo, either the old standing buffalo or the newer-ish, current one.  The old is classic and I like it a lot but it's kind of boring standing still like that.  That being say, I would not complain if they went back to that one full-time. 

 

I'm surprisingly into the all reds.  I thought they'd be atrocious but they kind of look cool.  JA makes them look cool and so did Shady.  The all blues really rock.

 

Whatever the uniform with all this real optimism and hope and this gun-slinging, crazy running QB and all this other talent, I have to keep pinching myself to make sure what I'm seeing in our Buffalo Bills uniforms are real.  It's really hard to process that at times.  Can't be our old Bills can it?

I am not a fan of this.

 

1. I wish the Bills also published a uniform schedule, but as of last year, I believe they only announce it from week to week on the ol' Tweeter.

2. I strongly dislike all white at home, particularly for the opener. White is the color of surrender (particularly when going against all black!), and I could be wrong, but I think we traditionally under-perform when wearing it.

3. I think McDermott is behind the recent trend toward white, because it seems there's been a noticeable uptick since he took charge.

 

White is also the color of not cooking to death in your clothes. I play a lot of tennis. In warm weather I have certain clothes (white!), and in the winter I have darker clothes. I’ll take any advantage I can get. Later in the season we can go darker. I don’t give a rip about “fashion”, short of Steelers throw ups, I mean backs.

 

It seriously makes a difference, I promise.  

 

Nothing personal, but to think white is surrender and black is tougher is silly talk. Block, tackle and hit the open man. That’s how football games are decided.

The worst uniforms were those white jerseys with the blue hockey band across the shoulders.

 

The ones that mimicked those horrible Titan unis - have to agree. Hated those.

Mentioned before, but if the took those classic blue unis w/red helmets and went metalic on the colors I think they would look awesome. To each their own, but it would be fun if OBD would let the fans submit and vote on a uniform.

Current Bills uniform is great.  Don’t mess with it.   I personally like the all white.   Don’t love the blue pants as seen in the last two road games.  Makes me think of Homer Simpson.  But if they keep winning in them I will get over it. 

 

I really dislike the mono blue and I despise the color rash crap.
