jerseyfan Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I made these mockups really quick following the announcement that the Buffalo Bills are going to wear a throwback with a "twist" for two games this season.The top design uses the current shade of blue (or something close) and the current logo.EDIT: I fixed the colors up and took out the outline around the 1965 buffalo.Take a look here Throwback designQuestions and comments always appreciated.

boardname Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Not bad, but the red looks too orange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfan Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 I think the PANTONE I used looks orange on this screen. I will try to change it and post a new one. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbripley Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Interesting stuff. It sure reminds me of how much more I liked their white helmets! Thanks for sharing. "Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogbarks55 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 You're on the right track. The big question is- Will the "throwbacks" they use be a faithful representation of the mid-'60s uniforms or a "modernized" close-but-no-cigar version?I appreciate your efforts and what you did, but they fall into the latter category.Keep trying.

jerseyfan Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 bulldog,are you refering to the top design or the bottom one? The lower one is pretty much exact minus the outline of the buffalo. I'll remove that when I fix the colors.If anyone has vector files of the actual Bills font I can out that in too.Thanks for all the constructive criticism.

EJ_Barlik Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I, for one, love the red, blue, gold charging buffalo on the white helmet. Very cool. I hope they use those....   5-time Defending NL East Champions  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfan Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 there shouldn't be any gold....my colors must have been VERY messed up. I hope the new image looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ_Barlik Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 there shouldn't be any gold....my colors must have been VERY messed up. I hope the new image looks better. Looks to me like there is gold in-between the red and blue of the charging buffalo   5-time Defending NL East Champions  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseyfan Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 ok, I see what you mean..kind of. That would be a little interesting. The image probably needs to be a little larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogbarks55 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 In the '60s the Bills jerseys and pants were made by Rawlings. The number font they used was Rawlings' standard pro-style full block. It's the same style the Minnesota Twins use today. Also the sleeve striping (socks, too) pattern was called "Utah" and has an extra row of very thin striping on the outside of the two thicker sets. The striping you show is more representative of the '70s style. I'll try to find a photo you can use to replicate it.Keep at it, you'll get there.

jerseyfan Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 thanks for the comments guys! I can't wait to see what they'll actually look like this weekend.I hope the replicas aren't too expensive and don't lose a lot of quality.I'll be posting what I think the Bills should change to using this model as a template, but keeping with the current color scheme (Blue, Blue, Red, and Grey).Thanks again for the comments!

Sabrejeff Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Care to elaborate? From what I could tell, pretty much the same as the '65 jersey.Also, I heard a new sound bite on the Bills official site, it was GM Donohoe saying, in not so many words, that the old helmet/pants ensemble would return also.
