_RH_ Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I kind of liked the red helmet to be honest. Now the chiefs will be the only team in the league to have one.Wow, I never thought about that! One red helmet in the whole NFL, that's crazy! I would have guessed way more than 2 right now, for some reason.By the way, what was wrong with these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have guessed way more than 2 right now, for some reason.By the way, what was wrong with these?The helmet is red. Before you get mad, it's just my opinion, I never liked the red helmet coupled with the blue jersey. IMO, just change that helmet to white with a blue facemask and you have a winner. Oh,and I never liked the striping on the red helmets, the white/red/blue/red/white looked weird to me, I like the triple striping to be a little more compressed.

daschuck77 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I threw this together:I have absolutely no insight as to what is going to happen, but maybe something like this?And no, I don't like those helmet stripes either.I really like this, but these changes sound like what Detroit did to their old Lions logo when they just added trim to it. Sure the helmet is an upgrade over the 7 stripes they have now.

ARTnSocal Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Nope .... BILLS will most likely be returning back to the 1976-1983 helmet from the little info that was leakedIn '82 and '83 before the red helmet came, the charging Buffalo was made a bit bigger, we'll probably be going with that.Goodbye midnight blue jerseys, and welcome back Colbalt Blue .....

WSU151 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 What makes you think that they're going to invert the colors on their logo?The fact that it looks much better this way with the navy outline and a red buffalo plays into the whole "incorporate the teams storied history while maintaining the signature charging buffalo logo" thing.I guess we shall see come draft day.I get what you're saying about incorporating the team's history by using a red buffalo, but IMO your design really isn't a very appealing way of doing it. I could see maybe a solid red buffalo sans motion line, but not an inverted logo. IMO their current logo has reached iconic status, while the old logo has charming-nostalgic status.I threw this together:I have absolutely no insight as to what is going to happen, but maybe something like this?And no, I don't like those helmet stripes either.Well they're keeping at least some navy, so my uneducated guess would be your helmet logo (navy outline) but with a navy facemask and navy-white-red-white-navy (or red-white-navy-white-red) stripes.I don't think they'll be using that much navy, BBTV. I tend to think they'll use navy like the Dolphins use navy on their helmet. I think Colorwerx's helmet is pretty close to what the real thing will look like, but I could be completely wrong. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this. Looks iconic and traditional. I don't know where the picture came from but the shades of blue are different from the facemask and the stripes/logo. Make all the blues Royal Blue and it's the perfect Bills helmet. The Arizona High School Helmet Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Falcon Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 By the way, what was wrong with these?Other than the fact that those unis are associated with losing four straight Big Games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 That's a rough one. Losing four straight Super Bowls means getting to four straight Super Bowls. In baseball, that would mean four pennants, which is a goal in itself.Winning a Hunt Trophy isn't really much of a consolation prize. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

slapshot Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The Bills were the AFC Champions for four straight years.The Braves won the NL East for 13 straight years, I'm pretty sure they wore the current uniforms the whole time. I know there was only one World Championship, but it's hard to consider that an era of failure. Playoff suckiness, yes, but not a whole era.

Oh, and why in the hell did they use such a dark red for the Giants? Unless that is just a terrible photoshop job, the colors look like the Cardinals in their previous unis (they used a slight bit of blue on the sleeves).

Fjm Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I wouldn't mind if they redefined the eye and the horn a little better in the logo. They're muddled together, and it's not even apparent that there is a horn; it looks like a just a thick white border on the power stripe (or whatever that thing is called.) In fact, I'm not even sure if it is supposed to be a horn. But if it is, a buffalo's horn should be bigger and could extend outside of the head a little.

And the blue set had a gray/silver pant with the thick blue stripe with a horseshoe at top. No gray anywhere in the blue jersey, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
