The white blends in and looks too slick and cheesy for my taste, kind of like when athletes wear white cleats. Black cleats always look better. I mean, grey have been our default facemasks for 3 or so years now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 They announced the white face masks on the website (not sure how to add the link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninSB Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 While both versions are acceptable here is the rule of thumb. In America use “A” - GRAY in England use “E” - GREY 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I don’t really notice the white face masks so much when watching the game, but looking at them side by side, the white looks much better. It enhances photos and videos more so than what I’m looking at while watching the game 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they wore white like 80 years ago, but the red helmets are still throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it looks like when the Bills went back to white helmets in 2011 the facemasks were gray. Then from 2012 through 2016 they were white, and from 2017 to now they've been gray (with one white game thrown in during the season in 2019 and 2020). Personally, I like the white but the gray didn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now have a stormtrooper look to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did guess the wrong year but I knew the Bills wore the white masks at least 3 times. Jets, Cowboys and 49ers. I didn’t realize it all occurred under the current regime. I had an open mind about TT until the playoff game against the Jags. I was at peace with moving on from TT no matter what the growing pains would be in 2018.

Not surprising really considering we used to carry two kickers under the old regime and thought dropping Dareus and Williams back into coverage was a good idea.
