thebigeh Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 With the Buffalo Bills all but confirming they'll be playing a regular season game in Toronto next season, the question I bring up is should the Bills wear a special uniform for this occasion? Perhaps wearing a red uniform that would match the colour of the Canadian maple leaf.I figure if the Bills are doing this in an attempt at making some money, why not go out and create something that would move sales in Canada?Or are there plans already in place that I am not aware of?

They will probably have some kind of a uniform patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 If the game is on a Friday, they'd probably wear powder-blue jerseys / pants, white numbers, royal socks, royal helmet with white stripe and mask.Oh, wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 red alts. Do it.NO.The Bills uniforms are horrible, and are monochrome. If they go red, it'll be even worse, god no...oh god mental image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Deadlier Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A red version of the throwbacks would be nice.What would be nice is if I still had 8 games to attend, not 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A red version of the throwbacks would be nice.What would be nice is if I still had 8 games to attend, not 7.Hey only seeing seven is better than seeing none. If playing one game in Toronto ensures the Bills future in Buffalo than i'm sure it's a worthwhile sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I will agree , Bills are doing what the can to keep and strong fan base and add to it . Just hope they don't start thinking toronto could be greener . Then again you never know . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith75 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 What if they had a buffalo charging through a maple leaf. I think that logo would work for a uniform patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 maybe keep their regular uniforms, but drop navy and nickel from the scheme? red would be more prominent then. but i doubt they do anything other than a patch or helmet sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they letting the ticket plan continue on to the next generation, or are they just waiting for the Milwaukee ticket holders to drop the tickets?

Then again you never know .Isn't there some kind of law in place that prevents Canadian cities from having NFL teams?I think I know where this comes from. Toronto was going to have a WFL team and I think it was just a threat to make American football illegal that made the team move to Memphis.Then again, I could be wrong. But I don't think there is an actual law. There might be a requirement that it be majority-owned by a Canadian? Would that be a logical assumpion?

Why on Earth would somebody drop the tickets? Milwaukee tickets are like any other Packers season tickets - they can be passed on generation to generation.As for the Bills - special uniform no, special patch yes.

quantum Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Let's say Toronto did get the Bills. Has the US govt. instituted the passport card yet or will fans traveling to Canada have to pay for the passport book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Passport card will be effective in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
