Live look at Bills Backers Bar in San Francisco when the red helmet announcement comes out (just like they did!)

Oh I get it. The assumption is that everyone in Frisco is gay

Don't understand the love for the white helmet's.

 

The red helmets are so much better. 

I feel the exact opposite way. As a kid when they went to the red helmets, I thought they were awful, never liked them, and when they went back to the whites I thought it was the best uniform thing they could do and wondered why it took so long.

Don't understood the obsession with red helmets. Never liked them except with all white unis. White pants, blue jersey and red helmet do not match


I agree. The red helmets were mocked by Buffalo Bills fans when they came out when I was a teenager. The Bills went to them to help Joe Ferguson locate wide receivers because a lot of teams had white helmets. Joe Ferguson wasn’t around much longer for the Bills but the controversial red helmets stayed. Why not old look a like leather helmets with Buffalo Bill Cody on them and the Buffalo Bill Cody at the 50 yard line when the new Bills stadium opens. That would be something look a like leather helmets with Buffalo Bill Cody back again if Buffalo Bills fans want real throwbacks. I want the crazy looking Buffalo Bill Cody logo for the alternative helmets in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

Is the strong Joe F. connection a myth?  Bills website says Kay Stephens initiated the change.

 

Maybe it was for the benefit of Joe in general but might have not been the only reason.  He might have came up with the idea regardless who was at QB.   It seems like Joe gets the credit/blame depending on your point of view.

Kay changed them to help Fergy since Miami, Jets, Pats all had white helmets

we might never know if this is true.

 

But at the time, this was the only reason ever given (or that i ever heard).   So i never had reason to doubt it.
