Beast Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 If we are on the verge of a Super Bowl appearance, and I think we are, do we really want to go back to the helmet and uniform that the Bills lost 4 Super Bowls in? No thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Sure hope this is legit, I would absolutely love love love seeing the complete 90’s set including the red helmets as our throwbacks…I know we’ve discussed unis ad nauseam, but seriously, Josh needs to throw some TD’s in that look, and all will be right with the world in that moment . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delirious Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Definitely like the white helmets the best, but man, I'd love to see them rock the red helmets with current or 90s themed uniforms! I'm stoked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need is the helmet and red socks. The current unis are basically the unis they wore the first 5 years with the red lids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are plenty far enough away from the 90’s for those to be the new throwbacks. Needs wider sleeve stripes, looks like a Giants throwback jersey. The blue needs to be shiny. More "royal", like when they would shine in the sun back in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding superstition because we had red helmets During the SB years, I don’t believe in it. Besides, we get to the big dance in Feb., we’re wearing white helmets.

BigDingus Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 As I said in the other thread, as long as it's the 90's era red helmet (not the redesign from the Bledsoe era), I'm all for it as it's the reason 5 year old me became a Bills fan in the first place. I have no complaints about the current uniform & helmet, but I'd love to see the 90's red helmet + our current uniform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand prohibiting new colors without approval or whatever, but you should be able to wear whatever helmet your team ever worn. Couldn’t disagree more. It was never about color. The NFLPA and the NFL were studying if players wearing just 1 shell and padding set to get the best fit possible to reduced concussions. The issue with having 2 different color helmets was that it nearly always required a 2nd shell and although helmets are very close in size they were worried about proper fit and mostly proper tightness was missing. The way you can tell it was not about color was teams could paint the shells for a throwback game and paint them back, but for most teams the cost and missed practice time as they waited for the outer coating to dry was not worth it. The NFL and NFLPA must have decided that the number of concussions was not significantly reduced by 1 single shell that having a second shell was prohibitive and therefore agreed to make the change. We will see - once they add this data - they could eventually return to a single shell or stay with 2 - we will see how the seasons go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Darragh Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 16 hours ago, Bob Chandler's Hands said: It was Joe Ferguson, but it's not clear he said that as opposed to the coaching staff thought it. That's correct. Joe was a little short for a QB (around 6ft) and since every other team in the division had white helmets (Jets, Fish, Pats and Colts) it was felt that it would give him an advantage finding receivers downfield. Not sure this came from Joe, pretty sure it was the coaches or front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Nice. For years I’ve thought it’d be cool to see a 90s throwback kit with the red helmets but they’ve had this weird one helmet rule instituted for a while now. Been ten years now since they switched to the white helmets and this year they’re gonna look sharp as heck with that white facemask. I’d love to see them come up with a new alternate, maybe with a blue helmet or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
