WSU151 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Amen, not sure why he used the term "crap" to describe the Bills' previous alternate uni. Crap perfectly fits the Jim Kelly and Drew Bledsoe era uni's. I think the Kelly era is a perfect example of how a certain color combination can look horrible for one team (Bills).....These were beautiful. It's still the best uniform the Bills have ever worn. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 THIS uniform with the 2011 helmet would've been a work of art. Oh well, still 100000% better than their previous nightmare.It's amazing how many others have said pretty much the exact same thing about those white 2009's on both of the BILLS 2 main chat boards....I really don't understand the love affair with the standing buffalo uniforms. The helmet is about the only thing i like on that uniform. That mainly for nostalgia and novelty reasons. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 The helmet sucks too. I don't understand the love for the standing buffalo logo. It's too static, poorly-rendered, and looks like a blob from afar. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That helmet, with the new set (minus the navy outlines) would very nice. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think you're misinterpreting his comment. "Throwback" would imply that the uniforms in question aren't worn anymore and are drastically different from the current set. The Raiders, Browns, Bears, Packers, Redskins, etc. haven't really changed their look too drastically over the years, so they don't really qualify as "throwbacks". He's merely saying that the current trend of teams choosing their blandest possible throwback uniforms and bringing them back verbatim is lazy and boring, and I tend to agree with that view.

He's merely saying that the current trend of teams choosing their blandest possible throwback uniforms and bringing them back verbatim is lazy and boring, and I tend to agree with that view.The goal, in regards to a team's uniform, is to look good. Not to push the design envelope, but to look good. If a past uniform set looks good and fulfills this requirement then there's nothing lazy about going back to it. In some ways it's lazy to go with an overly paneled/piped look just to fit in with the current trend.

ARTnSocal Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 All these opinions are just that, opinions to which we're all entitled too.The grazing Bison logo remains popular to many long-time BILLS fans who have followed the team since at least 1962 and grew up on with seeing the team in them, with great memories of the '64 and '65 AFL Championship seasons, and a good percentage of BILLS fans young & old like the look better than the leaping Bison.It would be great if the NFL allowed both home & away throwbacks ... 4 of 16-18 games a season would be fantastic. Mix it up a bit yet without going to the extent of the Oregon DUCKS who sport a different look every week ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 4/16 weeks wearing NOT your current jersey just doesn't make sense. Alternates is a somewhat different story, but please keep throwbacks to 2 games a year. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
