oz615 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The Bills wore their retro uniforms with RED helmets and a WHITE standing bison. Why does either team bother to go retro. They'll just screw it up. Save yourselves the ridicule.But at least the Bills got it right at that department this time around,so give them credit for that.

Old School Fool Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 It's like the Dallas Cowboys double-star jersey. Not actually a throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Haha. That organization needs to be commended on their tremendous ability to make themselves and the entire NHL look tacky and bush league.Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh-see Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well, that whole alternating captain thing should be fixed too, if you ask me.Here Here!!!!

gbasalmon Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Pretty freakin' brutal, eh? If there ever was a city that could screw up a free lunch at the rescue mission it's BUFFALO! They wear the retros with the stupid numbers on the upper chest, the new crappy psants and the Buffaslug helmets. Another Buffalo sports team faux pas to compare it to is the Thanksgiving game at Detroit a few years ago. The Bills wore their retro uniforms with RED helmets and a WHITE standing bison. Why does either team bother to go retro. They'll just screw it up. Save yourselves the ridicule.They decided to go retro because everyone and their brother was up in arms about the supposed stylistic injustices of the new logo. It will in fact all be better when the retro jersey gets its blue matched up to the new jersey, if it ever gets to that point.On a side note, I was at one of the Bills games where they wore those horrendous uniforms. However, I think all Bills fans should be more worried about why they lost to the freaking Lions. It may in fact be uniform karma... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zig Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Yeah, I agree with whoever said this an omen of things to come in the NHL. That could very well mean the end of the Rangers diagonal script. I actually don't think so. They would probably do what they did with the all star game a few years ago in Minnesota with the patch and put the front numbers on the other side. Of course in the case of captains the letter and number would be on the same side like it was for the All-Star game.If you have ever seen the movie Slap Shot then you would have seen a number and diagonal script on front of the Presidents jersey (The team with the Drunk player and the team the Chiefs play when the Hanson brothers climb in the stands). I don't think it looks that bad on them but I wouldn't want that to happen with the NHL.Also the Drunk Presidents player is the 3rd guy in my sig.Well, that whole alternating captain thing should be fixed too, if you ask me.Here Here!!!! Or even worse, like the Pens do here, have NO captain and all A's. its getting ridiculous.The Devils and Rangers also did that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Damn, the mismatched equipment really ruins it. I hoped to shop for some throwback merch and was supposed to go to that game, but the storm threw a few wrenches in my plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclast Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Another Buffalo sports team faux pas to compare it to is the Thanksgiving game at Detroit a few years ago. The Bills wore their retro uniforms with RED helmets and a WHITE standing bison. Yes, the Bills went half-assed with their retros in 1994. However, they did not wear those against Detroit on Thanksgiving that year. They wore them twice- first on MNF at home against Denver (wearing their orange drunken horse retros from the 60s), and then against the Oilers (in retro Columbia blue helmets) in Houston. The Bills did play on Thanksgiving, but they wore their regular unis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 That uniform looks really, really, REALLY bad with the "new blue" pants and helment... especially with the slug on the lid. Really.Ahhh. I cant believe im accually suprised at how horrible they attempted to half ass the alts. God forbid the city of Buffalo getting an MLB team. That city doesnt need any more ugly.What the hell does Buffalo not having a MLB team have to do with anything? Buffalo has more right to a MLB team that South Florida does. And for God's sakes, get off of the Sabres. It's over, it's done with, deal.I just know if Buffalo gets an MLB team theyll find some way to make them the ugliest team in the frickin league. But for the most part I was just being faceious. But I can see how that could be taken the wrong way.

I don't recall that one...I was told the Bill stayed with the red on their throwbacks because Jim Kelly was color-blind and that helped. Or something.

They're white with blue and nickle grey stripes, when they should be white with blue and red stripes. They changed the red to nickle because the current mess that is the Bills home and road uniofm uses nickle.

browna Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I mentioned this the day in the thread on the day they relased all the uni's at the practice...although they didn't put the numbers on it at that time, regarding the mismatching.Kings and Blues have done that in previous years, looking horribly worse (white helmets with the yellow jersies, I think for the Kings).I am with the crowd that says that the chest number is coming to an NHL team near you. I am betting that with the slimmer fit unis, and, redesgins (Buffalo's white space below the logo is a giveaway for space for a redesign), that the number gets taken off the arms.

I...that the number gets taken off the arms.If that's that case, then I feel a little better. Part of my problem with the numbers on the front was that it seemed like to much, with the numbers also on both sleaves. If they take the numbers off the sleaves then I guess it will look a little better.

Quite possibly the worst-dressed sporting event I ever witnessed. It was also very cold, and raining like a sonofabitch that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjr81 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 except winWin what? Did I miss something?They have won every game this season in the new jerseys. I see where you are trying to go and I would advise you not to bother. "Durrrr, the sabres never won da cup! Durrrrrrrrr, no goal! Durrrrrr, Philly rockz!" You won two freaking cups. TWO! In the 70's no less. Hell you probably weren't even born then. You are not the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers have no clout. I understand that your probably still sour about last years playoffs and that is understandable.The thing about the Sabres 3rd jerseys is that they aren't referred to as retro or vintage jerseys. They are the alternates. So I'm not pissed that they changed it up a bit. Plus, as other people have mentioned the blues will eventually match up.

Reaper Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Wow, it's like they're trying to screw them up on purpose. Apparently, the $700 for pant shells and the $2000 for matching helmets was too pricey for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
