I'll be at that week 15 game.  Nickel City baby!  but i dislike the blue helmets.

 

Which set are the rivalry uniforms?

 

The "snow white" uniforms that they wore last year at home vs NE. They are wearing them at home this year vs the Dolphins.

I cant believe they're going to trot out those ice storm ones (or whatever the hell they're called) again. You cant even make out the players' numbers.

I also cant believe the "nickel city" didnt get thrown in the trash heap.

Whoever is designing for the Bills needs to be re-assigned to another gig.

Enough about the uniforms….does the NFL have to create some ridiculous ‘theme’ for each week of the season? Really? 

It’s strictly a PR thing so the NFL can say they have supported hunger, equality, our military, native Americans, and whatever Crucial Catch is for - cancer?  It would be a nice idea if it wasn’t so fake in how they go about it.

It was nice when they started it, but soon they discovered that once you single out one group, you quickly have to single out EVERY group. So get ready for a 100 Week regular season. 😂

For the 8 home games:

 

4 Blue

2 Nickel City

1 Frost (Rivalries)

1 Red

 

 

I guess I’m in the minority as I like the rivalry unis, but can’t stand the nickel concrete crap.  Why couldn’t they just use the blue uni Josh wore a couple of years ago at the Blue & Red.  That’s blue helmet was solid.

Eh, I like ‘em all and refuse to get caught up in all of the fashion ‘experts’ trashing something people spent a lot of time on. Really the only uniform combo I’m not a fan of is the all red PJs look. 
 

They’re my team and I’ll root for the laundry regardless.

The NFL found out how much money European soccer clubs make from releasing 6 different new kits every year and wanted in on that cash.

I’m as far from a fashion expert as you will find here, and I don’t care how many hours somebody spent creating this ugly baby. It’s still an ugly baby. And it’s completely unnecessary. It’s not for the fans, it’s for their wallets. 

 

I care a little bit less every year.

Obviously the NFL is about the $$$, but I think something you and others either ignore or don’t appreciate is that the players like this stuff. It’s something to break up the monotony and they enjoy it.

I am waiting for Goodell to find a way to have games on Tues and Wed. We have Sun, Mon, Thurs already. Sat is for college and they do have the black Fri game after Thanksgiving, but no Tues or Wed. Goodell will find a way to fill those days with a game

I’d like to see your poll results taken from all the NFL players. You can’t just say stuff like that and make it true. That’s a problem these days.

 

Because a player or two said something which is not negative (which may well just be political correctness) does not make this an accurate indicator of the feelings of the NFL players as a whole. Even if the players loved the Steers bumblebee uniforms, I do not care. It’s ugly as hell.

Doubt most players give it as much thought as fans, the older fans particularly. I think they’d prefer the traditional uniforms, but like to “rock” new stuff on occasions. The players are young, more open to change, like the fans the new unis are targeted towards. What Josh Allen wears they will buy.

So obviously I don’t have a poll, but I’ve yet to hear a player say they were opposed to their team introducing new/alternate uniforms. New “gear” is almost always universally appreciated (if not coveted). 
 

I will grant that there is likely a subset of players who don’t care about the uniforms one way or another, but I reject that there is a subset of players who outright oppose uniform tweaks and reveals. 

I don’t need a poll for that, it’s my opinion that I think is supported by what I’ve heard and read from players over the years.

My issue with the rivalry unis is it feels so blandly inspired. White uniforms that have no real color fun, Buffalo it snows so snow unis etc.. You could've embraced the winter element but used way more color. I love the Pats rivalry uni and how they used colors to mix it in. I would've really like a Bills winter uniform that was navy mixing white and their regular blue as it could've had a really sharp look. 

To me the rivalry unis are a B- knock off of our perfect all white look. Their fine just so much more potential existed that would've been way more fun.

With all of these uniform combinations the Bills will be wearing at home I just wonder why they don't bring back the blue over white throwbacks. Those look great IMHO and it's been a long time since they have worn them. 

[ticketssince61]

my favorite is that the dolphins are wearing all black at a home game in Miami heat

 

They always used to wear the all-white to make it hotter for the opponent

[Augie]

 

I feel like the classic old Bills uniforms we all love so much are like classic rock. Solid and it stands the test of time. These recent uniform variations make me think we are trying to evolve into disco. I skipped disco.
