Alaska Darin Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Get a new spousal unit, Actually, my wife bought me that one for our den, it looks great! she knows that I don't spend anything on any other vices (besides beer) so she allows 1 room of the house to be Bill-centric. 349073[/snapback] Oh, I have that - it's just that the current configuration of Fort Darin isn't suited for what I "WANT," and building in our current market is simply out of the question.

bobblehead Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 When you look at the modern jerseys being worn on the field, you rarely see the stripes below the numbers on the sleeve. That is because the players cut or curl the sleeve under their shoulder pad. My point is simple: Management wants people to see the stripes on the sleeve of "the throwback jersey", so they put the numbers on the shoulder. 348967[/snapback] Modern jerseys are made so tight in the sleeves now that there is physically no room for both piping and numbers on the sleeves. The only striping that can go on a sleeve with numbers is on the very end of the sleeve, or the "cuff" of the sleeve, like the blue and white cuff on the current home uni sleeves. If you were to put numbers directly on top of piping on modern jerseys, the number would have to be placed directly over the shoulder stitch, and I don't think jersey manufacturing equipment can do that. I don't think the NFL would want that, either. One way to put both numbers and piping on the sleeves - go back to 3/4 length sleeves, over the elbow. That would really be old school.

Tarrytown Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Great detective work indeed...I figured that they'd be old school, but to see them is to be sure...you never know if the Bills might just screw them up some way. Glad to see they got them point on! Again, great work to the folks at TBD, you never disappoint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills_Fan_In_Illinois Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Not The worst jerseys I have ever seen, personally I was hoping for something red. Does anyone know if there will be Authentics as well as replicas or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cåblelady Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Are you kidding me?? This is what they used to wear 40 years ago. It does look like a BILLS jersey. 348756[/snapback] Actually, they look like Colts jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'll be very interested to see what the away uniforms look like...I hope BB.com gives us a chance to order both home and away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were just introducing one jersey. If they're introducing both home and away uniforms, we might as well just start planning for these to be the new permanent jerseys now. Compared to the train wrecks we're wearing now, anything looks better. I'll bet these have a special place in Ralph's heart too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brihs2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 TD did say they would wear the alternates both at home and on the road once this year. I at first thought that it would mean that we would have both blue and white unis. However, on second thought we may wear the new blues at Miami where they typically wear whites, or at the Pats.

Now, if we could just recreate Balboa Stadium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartshan-83 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I ordered a McGahee one last night when the link still worked. I have a confirmation email that says my order will be shipped within 48 hours, but I have my doubts. I wonder if they would actually ship a jersey out that has not been officially released.

Dunno about the '48 hours' part, but if they sent a confirmation, you'd think it SHOULD be arriving sometime next week ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
