For those who want the red helmet back… (Josh trolls everyone)

OMG people.  Read the comments and stop complaining about the stripes.  Allen just took a decal set meant for the white helmet and slapped it on a red helmet instead.  That's why there are no white stripes.

 

He mocked up a red helmet.  Nothing more, nothing less.  This isn't a prototype or sneak peek.  It was something he kitbashed together.

"Yep...illegal helmet.  Practice or not, that's two more conditional draft picks for us."

I wasn't sold on red helmets, but I like the look with the red jersey and white pants. And I like the blue+only striping. It updates that helmet nicely.

The NFL doesn't need to change anything. All the Bills had to do was make the 90s uni an alternate uniform. That's all the people want.

 

The Bills want to keep the AFL era unis as the alternate. Not sure if there is a rule limiting the number of alternates they have.

 

I'd much rather have an AFL era and 90s era alternate uniforms and get rid of the color rush stuff.

 

I am just going off of the Sal tweet from early in the thread that said the alternate helmet color can only be used by either color rush/alternate or throwback unis.

 

I want the current uniform with the red helmet. TBH I want us to have our own identity with the red helmet and not dressing up as the 90s.

 

"Spoke to Bills COO Ron Raccuia who told me the red helmet Josh Allen wore won’t be a helmet they wear in 2022 because the league only allows an alternate helmet with either:
1. Throwback unis
2. Color rush/alternate unis

 

Bills can’t wear red helmet with the throwbacks because the throwbacks use the standing buffalo while the red Josh had on is the charging buffalo. No match

Their color rush unis are all red. Can’t use it with those because all red head/toe is not their preferred look.

 

So the Bills will either wait until the NFL changes policy and allows an alternate helmet with regular home/away uniforms, or wait to unveil a new alternate uniform themselves."

White standing buffalo > white charging buffalo > red standing buffalo > blue charging buffalo > red charging buffalo

Exactly. Not sure why they didn't just make a 90s alternate.

 

Personally, I'm of the unpopular opinion that they should redesign the logo entirely. While iconic and special for us, the two Bills logos are objectively bad; poorly designed.

which completely contradicts all the teams who just rolled out alternate helmets they will wear with current primary uniforms. Black: Saints Jets Commanders Panthers Cardinals Eagles. Red: Texans. Orange: Bears. White: Cowboys. Bengals not clear may just be color rush.

90's would then be throwbacks and the 65 red standing bison throwback set would have to be scrapped.

 

apparently, you can only have two choices for helmets, one primary and either one alternate or one historical throwback. (and throwback must include appropriate matching historical uniform set)

 

and most fans and critics disagree with your last statement about the Bills logos.

Ron, you're making this harder than it needs to be. Just make the 90's uniform an alternate and collect all the moneys. 

 

this has to be the dumbest nfl rule ever.

you should be allowed at least an alternate and throwback.

So why would a Bills official say they can't get it done? Is it possible the Bills themselves arent interpreting the rules correctly? I know that sounds silly but crazier things have happened.

 

Edit: I'm still obviously confused but are we saying the Bills 65 standing Buffalo prevents us from having another alternate helmet? so what Sal reported was right, but the rule doesn't apply to teams who don't already have an alternate / throwback helmet? (I thought at least the jets do, but maybe they gave the historical throwback helmet up?)
