Uni watch

[Beast]

Everyone remembers Allen coming out of the tunnel with a red helmet on. Is that on for 2023? 90’s era uni’s and helmets?

 

Also, I don’t think we wore the throwbacks at all this past season. Are they dead and buried?

 

Something else to talk about I suppose.

[blacklabel]

It's definitely been insinuated ever since the league changed the rule where teams are no longer required to wear only one helmet for the full season. That's what was preventing teams like the Bills or the Bucs from using different throwback kits. But yeah it seems like they've been dropping hints for it and I think I heard this season would be the one where they finally do the 90s throwbacks. 

[Buffalo716]

That red helmet Allen wore was never even an official helmet.. I’m gonna go on a limb and say they will never wear those

 

If they wanted to go back to the 90s red helmet though for a few games it would be cool

 

My favorite uniforms are the white helmet with the red standing Buffalo

[Repulsif]

Since we won't change defensive schemes, can we have back at least the red helmet ?

That red helmet Josh wore was MINT. The delusional ones who say it looks ugly are ontologically evil.

Well Frazier's defensive style is from the 80s so it fits.

[UConn James]

IIRC, the reason some teams didn’t wear a second helmet & throwbacks / alts this past season was due to supply chain issues and the rather late timing of the announcement by the league office. Paul Lukas of UniWatch has said previously that more teams will be involved next season.
 

Some of the most looked-forward-to are a Kelly green set from the Eagles, red for the Bills, silver for Seattle throwbacks, creamsicles for TB. These will be for two games a season… possibly three since the 17th game was added.

 

Houston seems to be approaching for a redesign in 2024, unknown if it will be major or just tweaks.

 

The Cardinals may be doing a new set for next season depending on whether they initiated a notice to the league & Nike last year (the planning for these things has to be done at least a year in advance and notice must be given to the league a year prior). It’s been far too long with this set of pinstripes and color blocks and red yoke. Please let them go back to a classic look like the Tillman era Arizona flag on the sleeves with the new angry bird logo… rather than a complete redo that Nike has proved they cannot be trusted with.

 

Rams may be ditching the bone-color duds, and introducing a new yellow jersey, which may be a throwback.

 

Disappointing that we didn’t bring out the standing buffalo throwbacks for at least one game this year. I’m not sure whether they will have to be retired if the red helmets do re-appear as those would become our alts. Not sure if we could drop our red color rush and have the standing buffalo in their place. Dallas, for example, brought out two throwbacks this past season so it should be *possible*. I, for one, have never been a big fan of the reds / ketchup bottle look.

Red helmet, blue shirt, white pants ftw

If they don’t wear the full 90s gear it will be a major fail

Anything to distract us all from the playoff losses on the field. They may loose yet again in the divisional but at least they'll look cool doing it.

Uh,we won more in the red helmets than we have since going back to white. Using your logic, the white helmets are even bigger losers.

[Mark92]

I mean, if the secondary is going to line up 12 yards off their man they might as well look good doing it 🤷.  

[Airseven]

Never wear blue-on-blue or red-on-red again. They’re hideous.

 

Bring back the standing buffalo throwbacks for at least one home game. Miss those beauts.

[loyal2dagame]

Ahh, 

 

The Ol' annual Red Helmet thread. Good Stuff.

 

I'm going to sit here and calmly wait for the annual Music In The Stadium thread.

[Bills!Win!]

I want the red end zones back. I was sad when they took those away 

[Dr.Sack]

With all white the bengals blended into the snow. 

[BADOLBILZ]

 

The standing buffalo and the banana slug were thrown away for very good reasons and should never be thrown back.

[Baba Booey]

The blue on blue we’re great once a year for Thanksgiving. Way over done this year. White on white Best UNI they have

Hopefully the throwback 1960’s helmet never goes away since that helmet was the only one the Buffalo Bills actually won two Championships with in the 1960’s. I am fine with the Red Helmets but I am not fine with the Red standing Buffalo ever going away. But do I think PSE would be stupid enough to permanently doing away with the standing red Buffalo throwback logo? Yes because PSE with Terry Pegula is a bum owner with no regard for tradition or the history of Buffalo Bills football franchise because he is incoherent, clueless at the end of the day he doesn’t care. Look at that new Bills stadium it is like the New York Giants stadium generic and cold not actual cold but doesn’t seem like a inviting place from the pictures I saw. It looked like a downtown business building with the corporate glass look that doesn’t look like a sports stadium it looks ugly.
 

When PSE and Terry Pegula sell there Buffalo sports teams holdings it will be a great day for Buffalo sports because I don’t believe the Buffalo Bills or any Buffalo sports franchises owned by PSE Terry Pegula are ever winning a championship. BSF how can you say that? Look it hurts but it’s the truth when this bum can’t win a Buffalo Bandits NLL championship in 12 years as owner in a small number of teams league you know it isn’t happening with PSE ownership there not winners period as owners. But some Buffalo sports fans are slow to pick up on that they still think Syracuse Orange football is better than Buffalo Bulls football. UB has won 60+ games in the last 10 years Syracuse Orange 50+ games in the last 10 years. Ok if UB Bulls football that some Buffalo sports think is a joke has won 3 bowl games in 4 years what does that make PSE franchises owned by Terry Pegula that has won nothing that is right Zero championships for old money bags Terry Pegula. Wake up Buffalo fans if the Buffalo Bisons a minor league franchise and UB Bulls a college football team can pay for their upgrades privately why does Terry Pegula drill another oil well not able to pay privately for his own new Bills stadium? Again Terry Pegula is a flawed owner as a Buffalo Bills fan I don’t owe PSE anything because Terry Pegula didn’t keep the Bills in Buffalo the fans and tax payers did that. That is something else some Bills fans are clueless about as they are about UB Bulls football in the last 10 years the growth in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 

[gobills1212]

Of note, marketing materials had the standing buffalo and it was utilized in one of the sideline caps but not each version. It was very surprising they were not used as there isnt a rule stating there needs to be a break prior to switching. Its presence in official merch indicates that might not have been the plan from the get - but throwback week never came. Its the 1st instance since the blue throwbacks were introduced, that there hasnt been a sighting for at least 1 week. Obviously though it would have been white as the blue has been retired since its emergence. Its a sign something is coming as there is too much $$ left on the table with merch $$ to let that alt jersey slot go to waste. Id have guessed the all reds got the axe before the TB though. If the club had no history of it thatd be one thing, but everyone made too big a deal of Allen's trolling that it wouldn't have gone unnoticed. That being said, the wheels would have had to be in motion before this time last year. Maybe the troll job was testing the waters and putting out the feelers to ensure they are headed in the right direction.

The Bills need to redo the logo. Both iterations are terrible. Why can't they just do a normal looking aggressive bison?

On the flip side the Bills only two championships (1964, 1965) were won with the throwbacks. If what they wear decides how successful they are (it doesn't) then we should go back to the throwbacks full time. Maybe we can add a Super Bowl with our AFL championships.

If Kelly, Thomas, Smith, Reed and company were wearing the white ones then those helmets would have been in the Super Bowl too. The white ones look better. The charging Buffalo stands out more on the white helmet. The Bills uniforms are fine. Only change I would make is lose the all blues and reds.

[17islongenough]

I thought it was odd that the throwbacks were not worn this year.  Maybe it's an indication of the red helmets next year

Another thing that was odd was they only wore blue over white at home just once.

[Dr. Who]

Throwback blues with the standing buffalo are the best uni in the league. Folks are entitled to disagree, of course.

You want to be wrong, that's on you.

Yep, the standing buffalo has brought the Bills their only championships. I'm an old school guy anyhow, so I like all the old AFL helmets. It pisses me off the Titans got to keep the Oilers legacy. The oil derrick helmet was fantastic. It should have been a Cleveland situation so that the new Houston team could reclaim the Oilers. The Pats old helmets are much better too.

 

Now get off my lawn.

I like white uniforms in snow.

Wait, when did Josh wear a red helmet?

That sure took a quick turn into an area I didn't want to go down.

If you think Terry is a crap owner, you're a fool, "super"fan.

It was before one of the preseason games. He ran out of the tunnel with a red helmet on. It was just the current helmet painted red. They didn't bother changing the stripes so it looked like it just had two blue stripes down the middle, instead of blue/red/blue, which looked weird, but it pumped fans up.

 

[Doc Brown]

If the NFL just made white pants mandatory the Bills in their current uni combos would look amazing each week.  We wouldn't have the smurf look or the all abhorrent all red look.

 

For home games I'd do:

-Five standard unis (Blue tops, white pants, blue socks)

-Two 90's throwbacks (Red helmet, 90's blue top, white pants and white socks)

-One game where we wear the red color rush jerseys with white pants and red socks.

 

Away games:

-Three all whites

-Three white tops, white pants, blue socks

-Two white throwback Uni with standing Buffalo helmet

 

For the 17th game they could have fan voting or whatever.
