heres my concept based on what we've heard so far. im really expecting those "buffalo stripes" to make a comeback

These are pretty nice. I agree about the navy pants. If they go with coloured road pants, I guarantee they'll be royal.

Also just a couple tweaks: you have the strokes on the road uni numbers reversed on the front and back (royal-red-navy & royal-navy-red). Front looks better. The blue home socks should also be white from about 2/3rds down.

I actually would love for them to have royal blue jerseys and navy pants, because it would then forbid them from doing monochrome tops/bottoms like they have been the last few years.

While this looks okay except for the road pants (royal would look better than navy), they have already said it is closer to the 1975-1983 uniforms than these.

Also mini-rant here - please stop using the completely screwed-up white jersey stripes that Reebok put out for the 2009 AFL 50th Anniversary season. All they had to do was watch some of the footage in "Full Color Football", which I'm sure was available before they announced these things, to get it righ - particularly since they got the blue jersey right. The real white jerseys from that era were negative images of the blue jersey - they should have a thin blue stripe with red feathering, two wider blue stripes also with red feathering, and then another thin blue stripe with red feathering.

The Bills for some reason did reverse the stripe colors on the white jersey for 1973/74 - they were red with blue feathering.

I have never been fond of the red helmet. It clashes to me. It doesn't feel like it belongs with any other part of the uniform. And the logo is hard to see on it.

I found myself colossally bored by the Bills uniforms of the 90s. Granted, the ones they wear now are worse, but I don't understand the love for these or the red helmet. I also feel like the 90s-Kelly duds featured a rather drab, sick looking blue. Kinda washed out or something.

The only way the red helmet looks good IMO is if you introduced red pants. One concept here had red pants with the blue jersey which I thought was kind of cool, and definitely unusual.

I would not follow the 60s throwback template exactly but I would use that color. That is a much more pleasing color to my eye than any of the recent blues the Bills have used.

The charging Bills logo has always looked best on a white helmet to me. That's what I'd used. With blue facemask. Joe Cribbs circa 1982 was the best they looked.

Dang it! I just bought a Bills home jersey this year too. I love the look they currently have.

Excuse me a minute. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You or anyone else who bought one of those jerseys deserve to get burned by a uniform change.

You love the look they currently have? My signature says that uniform opinions are subjective, but your membership should be revoked for liking the Bills' uniforms.

Liking the Bills' uniforms should be a bannable offense like having duplicate accounts or posting spam or porn.

:P

I'm looking forward to this, actually. Yes, three white helmets in the same division is a little much, but I think each team's uniquely distinct despite that. Miami's teal, white, and orange, New York's green and white, and Buffalo would be blue, white, and red.

The navy could work, I just hope they leave it limited to number/stripe highlights. To much of it could muddle an otherwise clean look.
