Buffalo Bills Redesign

[DRutka]

OK, my first stab at this in a while.

First, the home uniforms...

My Webpage

Comments welcome

Okay, thorns first:

I don't like the mono look, so the second one is out. I'm also not a fan of red pants with blue jerseys - too much.

The first one, however, is a thing of beauty and the Bills should adopt it immediately. It would be an incredible improvement over what they wear now. Well done!

Starting at the top...

NO

God NO

I'm Getting Dizzy, NO.

Actually they're not that bad, but I definately don't want them to be the Blue and Red Jets, which is what those look like.

By the way Rutka was cut you might want to change the name on the back.

[DRutka]

By the way, it's my name

[MC Buffalo]

By the way, it's my name

Dude,

I'm not that dense, I could make the connection between DRutka and Rutka, was just making a little joke. I'll have to remember that I can only make a joke if I first say I Like someone's design.

By the way. I like the Away versions better, but still too much like the Jets for my taste.

Stamer wears 57, did Rutka have to pay him to get that number?

[DRutka]

gdffl86, tons of $$$$ .... lol

The white panels on the red jersey probably need to be blue, given the red panels on the blue jerseys.

These are indeed a quantum leap over what they wear now. The only look I'd avoid is white jerseys/white pants. Also, I don't generally like white facemasks.

I wouldn't mind seeing the white jersey/blue pants look as their home look like the early '80s teams. All told, this is really good.

I still don't like to see sleeves that are different color from the jersey, but i have to accept that it is the way of today.

That said, these are tremendous! The blue jersey and white jersey are monumentally better than the current uniforms. It's clean but not boring. I like:

White Jersey: blue pants

Blue jersey: red patns

Red Jersey: blue pants

I don't think there is a jets problem because the jets are one color (and a different color) and have an additional stripe on teh shoulder. I never thought of the jets until I read it in the post.

I would prefer a blue facemask (though white is not bad)

The only real complaint is the white sleeves on the alt. I woudl go with blue or red.

After making that change, the Bills should adopt it.

[DRutka]

The uniforms on the top of each group are the ones that I think should be mainly worn. The second and third are just to show what they would look like with different color pants.

That being said, the reason I went with white sleeves on the red jersey is to get the whole red, white, & blue look for each uniform. That way the team colors would not be considered just blue and red. I wanted white to be as prominent as the rest.

I echo most of the prior comments so far. One general comment I would make is that wherever areas of red meet areas of blue (such as the blue sleeves on the red shirt), they should be divided by a thin line of white piping. Otherwise I don't think there is enough of a contrast. Perhaps my rather poor example will help:

In any case I like these - much better then the the technicolor dreamcoats they wear now.

I agree with the white piping. I think that the uniforms are tight color wise but need some seperation. I personally dig the Bill's uniforms now even if Bledsoe is wearing one.

Wow, I was about to comment on the need for white also. Glad I read the whole thread. Personally, I think these are very cool, especially a couple of the roads and the alts. For some reason, red always looks good when you haven't seen it used by the team much (i.e. the red Patriots alternate that someone Photoshopped a while ago)

[LMU]

Very, very nice. I agree about the white piping on the roads, but on the others, you might consider having piping to separate the sleeve from the rest of the jersey (red piping on the road unis and blue piping on the alternate. I think that the white pants should be used for the home unis, the red pants or the white pants for the away unis, and the blue pants for the alternate.

[DRutka]

Added white piping to the home jersey. Better???

As far as piping on the other jerseys, it just does not look right.

[Jezus_Ghoti]

That last one looks great. The only thing I would change on it would be to eliminate the blue between the red and white of the numbers. It's not necessary, and I think a more simple single-stripe number would look better.

[DRutka]

No blue in numbers...

[slapshot]

I would just continue the white pinstripe down the side of the shirt, to separate the red from the blue. It would pop out just a bit more, but not make it cluttered. You could also have blue and white outlines around the red stripe on the pants, and that would tie the pants in more with the color scheme.

[ReginaCanuck]

very nice. the only thing i would add is another white outline around the numbers, to bring out the red, and white piping on the side panels, as others have suggested. great concept.

[DRutka]

OK, I've listened to all of your comments, and this is what I came up with...

[DarthMan]

wow. just wow
