Niagara Bill Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Are we going back to the old uniforms, pre ToDo . The reason I raise the question is the Bills website has changed it's colors back to the old ( Royal?)blue.. I hope this happens. Has anyone heard of a change?

Nanker Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 No they're not. 668124[/snapback] Bummer. Because The Bills have some of the most seriously ugly threads in the HISTORY of the NFL! Their unis have matched their record in the recent past for being deplorably unwatchable and hideously bad. I think that Pixyland guy could do a better job than the incumbent.

JAMIEBUF12 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 i sure hope so..............i'd like to see the throwbacks with 1974-1984?? helmets..................if we cant have those the 90's unis would be just as good...but i really liked the throwbacks this year,i just dont really care for the red standing buffalo,but i love the 70's blue buffalo on the helmets that would look awesome with the throwbacks.go bills in"06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Awww c'mon Nanker, they're not bad. It could be much worse...Look at Cleveland's or Baltimore's. Now those are terrible. But personally I think the Jets have the worst uniforms in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the gold standard in bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that's true, but I still like the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 If the Bills were to change, it would be next season (2007) because there is a league rule mandating that you must wear a uniform scheme for at least five years before changing.

The B'gals orange jersey\orange pants\orange helmet with those goofy black stripes reminds me of a bunch of popsicles...or prisoners...on the lam.

But personally I think the Jets have the worst uniforms in the NFL. 668139[/snapback] I actually think the current Bills unis are the worst in the NFL. Not only because they suck, but also because they're a wrecked version of what used to be some of the nicest threads in the league. Our current away uniforms literally just have blocks of different colors - red, royal blue, white, navy blue - with some silver thrown in for no reason. The guys look like clowns. If sports is mental, then of course we aren't going to win when we look like an Arena league team. At least give the players uniforms with some dignity. Conversely, the throwbacks are some of the nicest uniforms in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I couldn't disagree more silverNred, our uniforms are cool. I'm glad we're out of the mid 90's uni's, they were outdated and needed a change. How can you not like our home threads though? That dark blue is sharrrrrrp as a meathook. They look mean.

I like the new jerseys and i like the throwbacks too. I hope we keep the current situation with wearing the throwbacks a few times per year. Also, i dont think this board gives the real representation of how much people like the jerseys. Frankly, most fans dont care that much, and the overwhelming hate for the new jerseys seems to be limited to TBD. Most people i know back home, and some friends i have in other cities have no problems with the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Are retail places going to still sell throwback jerseys? Those are great. Last Bills item I bought was an old white and blue Moulds jersey about 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I say, keep the road unis. The two-tone AFL style is cool. Throw the home unis on a big bonfire in the RWS parking lot. Replace them with the throwbacks. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantankerous Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Mike, they can't! I guess rules stipulate you can't change uni's for 5 years! Besides, like I said our home Uni's are some of the best in the league! You don't think they look mean? Like Ramius said, the old Bills uni's look too much like the NJ Giants.
