boater Posted September 3 Posted September 3 (edited) So this reminds me... How does painted grass live? Isn't the photosynthesis blocked by the paint? Put that concern right up there with "will the new sod tear up in sheets because two weeks wasn't enough time to root?" Filed under: New Worries For Bills Fans. ---------------- UPDATE: According the Google Gemini "NFL fields use special water-based, porous paints that let air and sunlight pass through so the grass can keep living and growing" Edited September 3 by boater 4 1 Quote

Einstein Posted September 3 Posted September 3 (edited) I would love the 90's red endzones with big block white letters. Edited September 3 by Einstein 2 11 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted September 3 Posted September 3 (edited) This post from Gueli stems from his segment he did on Jeremy & Joe this morning. A good listen all around. I recommend everyone go listen if you didnt catch it. Nothing groundbreaking, but good to hear stuff from the horses mouth. The other events they're trying to bring to the new stadium, etc. I did appreciate how often he'd answer a question with "whatever the fans want" or "whatever the players want". This is just sports entertainment after all. For stuff like the color of the endzones, might as well have fun with it and let the fans decide. Edited September 3 by DrDawkinstein 2 Quote

I think it would be great if the Bills did more fan polls and actually implemented what we voted for. They could have avoided the nickel city uniform disaster this way. 3 1 Quote

I think he was on around 8:30 maybe 8:45am-ish if anyone is going looking. They've been pretty good about talking/listening to the fans. I know a number of posters here have sat on Fan Advisory boards with the Bills. As far as the nickel city disaster... I'm not sure who qualifies that as a disaster. For all the crying on social media (for whatever that is worth), I saw a LOT of people wearing the new grey jerseys when I was in Buffalo last weekend. They'll sell enough to make money. (And I still like them better than last year's Cold Front Frost Fairy unis). I also dont think they'd get any sort of usable feedback if they let fans vote on alt uni design. Everyone is a critic online, no one is a decision maker. 1 1 Quote

The Jokeman Posted September 3 Posted September 3 41 minutes ago, Einstein said: I would love the 90's red endzones with big block white letters. Which doesn't match anything with the current version of our jersey. I get people love the nostalgia of those 90s team but it's time to move on and enjoy the stadium that Josh built and embrace the current uniforms and color scheme (not those God awful gray things though). 1 2 Quote

That's the problem with all of these alternate jerseys, there's always going to be the fans who have no taste and the ones who don't even like them but still feel obligated to shill out the money to wear them because it makes them more of a fan so they are never going to go away. All the NFL sees are $$$$$$ signs. They couldn't care less about the integrity of a franchise. Quote

Sell tickets, sell jerseys, make money, have fun. Who cares? These arent government institutions deciding the fate of peoples' lives. We're talking about what shirt they wear when playing a game. MLB and NBA churn out a ton of these alt uniforms each season. Some good, some meh, all in fun. Buy one or dont. Quote

Oh, for that night game in December vs. the Bears (when the Bills are in the NC unis) I actually think it would look incredible to have nickel-colored end zones. Don't @ me.... 1 1 Quote
