Two Bills Drive

‘Dark navy blue, vivid red, a touch of royal blue, some eye-catching silver, a white road jersey with navy on the shoulders, red helmet with new stripe and same charging buffalo logo. Old yet new. In the words of Dolce & Gabbana, "Me likey."’

‘The year before switching uniforms, the Sabres ranked 24th in merchandise sales in the NHL. Their first season in their new attire in new HSBC Arena, they rocketed to seventh and have remained in the top 10 ever since.’

‘"This is exciting," Bledsoe said, modeling the Bills home uniform bearing his number 11. "New uniforms for the past seven or eight years have been good luck for some teams. The Broncos changed and they won it all."’

NOTE: interview is sound only.

Tom Donahoe says they wanted uniform to be evolutionary not revolutionary and some of the original designs were more ‘Stars Wars’ like. Wilson appears to have been a balance and kept some of the more radical changes out of uniforms.

The hype is over and now you see what they are hyping. The new Bills jerseys have been modernized in the Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos type of style as previously leaked by game maker. Logo has not changed on Helmet.

‘He became a proponent of Buffalo’s new modern art museum. He even got a job in a downtown restaurant, working at the bar, so he could mesh better with the community. His intellect separated him from the violence of the game. “I hope the next phase of my life will be as enriching as the last 10 years have been for me in Buffalo,” says Fina, whose immediate plan is to go into business with his brother, David, a Tucson commercial builder. Ironic article is written by an author named “Hansen” since Hansen retired during the offseason after playing 10 years with him.’

The only way fans will be able to get their hands on it in the first three days will be through the team’s official distribution outlets, which will have the largest selection in the area. This will be the first opportunity to purchase officially licensed Bills jerseys in the new style, both authentic and replica. Also available for the first time will be exclusive Drew Bledsoe merchandise, the team’s new on-field player hat, and other special-edition items.

‘The Bills ranked sixth in the NFL in merchandise sales in 1991 and ’92, at the height of their Super Bowl era. They rank 23rd among 32 teams for the first half of this year, according to Sports Trend Info, a Florida-based trade publication that tracks sports marketing sales.’

‘"Just because you’re not 18 through 34 doesn’t mean you can’t appeal to 18 through 34 viewers," Levy said.’

‘The remaining tickets — free, but limited to four per person — will be available at the stadium box office at 11 a.m.’

And, given his salary, Fina’s June 1 exit was assured. But in many ways he was maligned. Extraordinarily bright and a bit eccentric, Fina was hardly a media favorite, usually irascible and infrequently accommodating. However, one reason his salary was a current burden to the Bills was that he willingly renegotiated his contract to help make cap room when Buffalo re-signed guard Ruben Brown, his best friend on the squad. And while Fina struggled last year, it should also be remembered he took one for the team.’

Donahoe insists the Bills are shopping Bryson, a third-year pro, but there aren’t enough carries to go around with Henry, Huntley, Bryson, Morris and NFL Europe star Curtis Alexander all fighting for playing time in training camp. It will be no surprise if Bryson is eventually dealt.

Ostroski has become the leader on the field tutoring young players such as Marques Sullivan and Mike Williams, suggesting ways they can improve or do things easier.
