BF_in_Indiana Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think it's great that they are coming out with throwback unis, but to hide exact copies of the 1965 unis in secrecy and have a whole show based around it is a little um......lame. I'll definately be getting one, but I can't really understand all the hype over exact replicas of the 1965 unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Those are AWESOME!!!!! Nice Job Bills!!! Now, bring them back as permanent and we're talking. BTW - Since we are wearing them twice this year, vs. Hous and @ SD, I expect a road throwback is coming out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Most(all) players cut their sleeves and tape them to their shoulder pads. If the Bills put the numbers on the sleeves like the original, the players would cut off the stripes. 348877[/snapback] What are you saying here?!? The Bills 2005 modern jersey has the numbers on the sleeves not the shoulders. Buffalo is one of a small handful of teams that still puts the numbers on the sleeves instead of the shoulder pads. This is because Bills management refuses to put a Bills logo on the sleeves...prefering the old school look of numbers. Kind of ironic that the old uni's have them on the shoulders!

bills_fan Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I just hope they come out with the away as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I have a feeling that we'll be seeing just as many, if not more, of these jerseys in the stadium by the end of the season than the regular ones. I for one will be buying a Losman, and a McGahee for my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF_in_Indiana Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I plan to buy a Losman and Evans in this new jersey style circa '65. One home and one away since you know we will see one later on if not on Saturday. I think the road ones are better than that home ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I think the road ones are better than that home ones. I agree with you. But, I'll still buy Willis home & away. Its the cane fan in me. I always loved him in college, but refused to buy the awful Bills jersey. Now I can!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Some neon sign company needs to make that pennant into a bar sign. That'd be SWEET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Although, you could probably take it to a neon company and they'd make it for you. It would cost you big bucks tho. I just got the Bills-Labatts Blue neon I've been looking for for years for my home bar. It s in a place of honor right behind the bar. Its terrific.

bills_fan Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Probably time for BILLS' fans to unite! Economies of scale, baby! You know, thats not a bad idea. If they made several, it would work. The only thing is, a place would probably do one for an individual no problem, but if they were making 30-40, they'd have licensing issues, which they'd still have with one, but less likely to get caught. The trick is finding one that would take the risk. But if you are looking, this one is pretty cool...simple, but cool... http://www.neoncentral.com/inventory.jsp?number=G6100NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
