zow2 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 So I'm assuming New England, being the home team will wear their Red jersey's w/ the standing Patriot on their white helmets (hiking the football). Those remind me so much of Steve Grogan throwing bombs to Stanley Morgan in the late 70's-early 80's on that Astroturf in Foxboro. Anyway, if that's the case Buffalo would have to wear White throwback road jersey's for the first time. We have not seen those yet. Let's hope all that throwback karma will keep the team from getting blown out on MNF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is a B&W picture of the uniform. In their first season, the Bills wore light blue and silver jerseys and helmets. The helmets were all silver with a light blue player's numbers. Linkage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 long live the squatting patriot hahahaha its almost as bad as the creamsicle bucs Heh... Pats* had some decent '60's teams...Babe Parelli, Gino Cappelletti, Nick Bunioconti (see a trend there? ), and Syracuse FB Jim Nance. Quite the power runner.

Endzone Animal Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Man, I hope they don't go back to that...the 1962-1973 uniform is the version we all know and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightSchrute Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Agreed, the one's from 1960 look like the Lions uniforms...we need the standing Buffalo! Man, I hope they don't go back to that...the 1962-1973 uniform is the version we all know and love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, thats fugging great. Not only are we going to get ass-whooped again on prime-time, and not only to start the season, but now we have to watch them in these faux-Lions uniforms in the process. I can hear fuggin Kornheiser now in the 4th when the score is 56-10..." Are those the Lions out there? Sure looks like them!" (chuckle chuckle from the other two).

Chandler#81 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Not likely the Bills will feature their original uni's (light blue & gray). I think we'd have heard about it by now as teams must submit uni changes to the league a year in advance. While I'd love to add a white away jersey from the current throwback version (ala the available Simpson jersey) I suspect both teams will wear home jerseys. Who the he!! still only has a B&W TV?? I know, .."but.. but.. the pictures in the newspaper will be confusing.. " It may just be that ALL newspapers will be extinct by then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Whats the out look on Bradys knee. Is he going to be ready for camp? If so, any minor setback could keep him out of the game. Under Dick, the Bills seem to get worse as the year prgresses, so this really could be the best scenario we could have hoped for. We will still finish 5-11 but it could be a really nice win.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 There's no way we'll be wearing white throwbacks. I'm pretty sure each team has one home, one away, and one throwback jersey available to use. Not to mention, a white throwback was not part of the marketing campaign that's been rocking for the past four years or so. If a white jersey were an option, trust me, Buffalo would be selling white jerseys to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endzone Animal Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I wouldn't rule out the white jersey so fast, but when I think about it the blues do make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightSchrute Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have to disagree. A friend of mine works for Reebok's licensing group, and she said the 8 teams are producing loads of new merchandise/apparel now and that she's seen all the 'Boston Patriots' stuff. I think the league will make an exception to uniform rules this year with the anniversaries. Out current blue throwbacks were released in the summer of 2004, and new white one's will likely be released this summer for sale. There's no way we'll be wearing white throwbacks.

Out current blue throwbacks were released in the summer of 2004, and new white one's will likely be released this summer for sale. Having a white throwback would be one step closer to a full-time change to the throwbacks. Be fully aware, tho, that this will only come after Ralph is gone b/c he has a raging case of 'Old Man Syndrome.' You know what this is... you walk into old peoples' houses and you step into the '70s b/c there's fierce resistance to changing anything unless it broke (and maybe not even then). For the new owner --- they are there, the design would be complete, they'd own the rights to use them, it's a five-second decision, no need to pay another design team and they have about 93% fan approval. And then we can stop having to discuss this all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is the Uni I'm picturing us to wear in the MNF opener this year (link below fom the 1965 AFL Championship game in Balboa Stadium-San Diego). NO way would they have the Bills & Pats wearing dark jersey's for the same game. One team is gonna be wearing white and I'm thinking it's Buffalo. http://www.remembertheafl.com/images/KempToWarlick1w650.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know when/if the NFL would consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the '73 version with the blue pants, but this all white version fits the "Bill." Gawd, I just hope they don't wear those awful 1960 blue and silver jobs...which BTW, Ralph wanted those colors since he's from Detroit and was a minority owner in the Lions before buying the Buffalo AFL franchise.
