It's a home game but they shouldn't be wearing them against the Texans. Truth is the Texans are the ones who should be allowed to wear the Oilers throwbacks. After all they are Houston's football team. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Super Fan Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 No Buffalo Bills red helmets for 2023. I am not surprised the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres aren’t run in a first class way like the Buffalo Bisons as an example. PSE has been trouble for 12 plus years nothing but controversy and missteps bumbling along yearly begging for public funds yet can’t give the Buffalo Bills fans a red helmet clueless ownership. Meanwhile the Buffalo Bisons upgraded there stadium privately and they have great new fun things for the Buffalo Bisons fans. Look at the Buffalo Bisons all kinds of uniforms and hats that are focused on our Western New York community and heritage than look at the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres low hanging fruit sell the teams PSE. There is no defending this no excuse just made up crap from a lazy out of touch organization and owner. The Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres are nothing more than a rich guys tax write off sell the teams PSE in my opinion. Go Bisons! Go Bills! Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo 1 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I can’t remember in this thread or another, but Sal tweeted out, the Bills internally are not moving towards the red helmet this year. That’s too bad as I kind of liked Josh in the red helmet and jersey over white pants. I know the old argument they would lol like the Pats from the 80’s, or even the Chiefs, but I’d be fine with a throwback Thursday. I loved that idea from Trapasso to have the league all do it. He’ll, the NFL would make $ with more jersey sales. NFL fans are suckers for more swag (myself included at times). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the issue with fan votes, crazy amount of throwbacks etc.. is the loss of identity a team can have and the safety piece with the multiple helmets. I understand fans liking multiple looks and it certainly is good to an extent, but their becomes a point where it goes too far. I have appreciated that the Pegula's with both teams (Sabres took a little longer to get back to where they should've) have kept the same look and not really done anything too wild. Some of the best looks in the NFL are teams that really have not gone too wild like Green Bay Pittsburgh etc.. Atlanta is an example of what happens when you can't find a consistent look and keep going for trendy over solid. I do think the Bills are missing an opportunity revenue wise and fan wise by not doing the red helmet yet, but the league also drags its feet to the point doing a change can take 2-3 years from the moment its approved for even an alternate. So it is very possible the Bills do have a red helmet in the works and it literally is a time crunch. I have personally felt their current look is superior to everything and doing the AFL throwback 2 times a year is enough. If they add the 90s red for a game or two also, then great but I am happy that they have a consistently good look and have avoided the dreaded revision "upgrade" some teams drift to. Helmet wise even though the NFL has approved two helmets now, inventory is still an issue for teams and I have to imagine some teams are skittish to have two helmets with all the head injury issues. Add in the injury with Hamlin last year and I can easily see the Bills punting to another year before going down that road. Some may say that is small potatoes, but between Hamlin and then Pegula's wife the organization has dealt with some major medical issues across the board and I can understand not wanting to press on something the league just got back into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not one helmet for a team - players can choose from a list by standard four prominent helmet manufacturers in the NFL (Riddell, Schutt, VICIS, and Xenith). VICIS who is newest approved manufacture has been an innovative maker who was having financial issues a few years ago but seemed to have recovered. There are better helmets than the four standard brands but NFL and NFLPA are very resistant to add new manufacturers.

TheFunPolice Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) 90's throwbacks with red helmets would be cool to see, for sure! Generally, I like the throwbacks that teams have, but I would hate to see teams end up having a handful of different uniforms and color schemes that they constantly shuffle between. Tampa's throwbacks are awesome! I have no idea why they ever changed. They were unique. Plus every team doesn't need a black uniform when it's not in their color scheme. The Cardinals and 49ers are the worst offenders in this. It's one thing if the Saints, Ravens, Falcons or Steelers do it, because it's part of the team colors already. When you're the Cardinals and your colors are red and white you don't need to copy Atlanta's uniforms.

Gregg Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Carolina releases their entire uniform schedule for the year. It says week 3 at Seattle they will be wearing a dark color jersey.

Players sign many different types of helmets and are then sold too at high prices. I have seen Chrome, Black, Silver, and others not a team helmet color that players sign then NFL or collector sites sell. This is probably why Allen absolutely refuses to sign full size helmets.
