gothedistance Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I saw the Bills forum where someone says what I was mentioning.I think the Bills wearing white for the game against Oakland would also be a nice way to show the fans at home the white uniform before going to the blue.

Drakonius26 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 They're in the official 2011 Style Guide, for what that's worth.Then again, so were two different designs of Jaguars' Teal pants that were never worn...Well didn't the Anaheim Ducks say they were going to go green, before suddenly changing to black at the last moment? I'm not trying to say people here are full of crap, but I'll believe it, once the Bills trot out on the road with blue pants, instead of another bland all-white look.The Ducks didn't list their new green look in the official style guide... bad argumentColorWerx had the PANTONE values for the re-branded Ducks before their unveiling, and was told they'd be going with a color scheme of dark green, orange, and bronze. But, apparently very late in the process, someone decided to switch it to the black-and-gold - I vaguely recall it having something to do with the proximity of Camp Pendleton. It's not often that CWX is thrown for a loop by a major-league rebranding. But I recall the Ducks' unveiling as being one of those rare occasions.

gothedistance Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 If the Bills wear blue for all of their home games then they will see it too many times because they play at Miami and Dallas on the road. Which makes it 2 more blue jersey games. Which would make it 10 blue jersey games to 6 white jersey games.Personally, I would lobby for the team to wear white for the home opener.I watched a video with the Bills playing against the Raiders in 1980 on Youtube. I'll see if I can find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills set has been officially unveiled, so if ColorWerx says something is or isn't in a style guide, then you can be 99% sure he's right.The Ducks' original color scheme was from someone who had been involved in the design process. However, the Black didn't replace the Green - the Green was an additional color to the Black, Orange and BRONZE...A Coppery Bronze was going to be used in place of what is now the Gold. I don't believe the Silver/Aluminum that's in there now (only used for the logos) was in place either.Style Guides are wrong sometimes...most of the time they can be treated as the final word, but in a lot of cases they have issues as well.

TruColor Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 CW, out of curiosity are there any other teams/schools that use "orange county orange"?I have 46 pro color sets that use or have used that shade of Orange, including the current Detroit Tigers, San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Flyers. 22 collegiate sets, including Boise State, Bowling Green State, Florida, Texas-El Paso and Virginia.I should mention that the current Ducks' Orange is slightly different than this one. (But still widely used.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamherbert Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I think the helmet looks great (even like the tapered stripe in the back, a first that I can remember, and not nearly as noticeable as I had feared), but I think the red facemask shown on page 88 looks absolutely awful. Way too bright and distracting. After having seen that, I think the grey was the way to go -- especially considering they have become a "blue team" with a red accent.

Sabrejeff Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The Bills' new turf that they're installing as we speak has BLUE ENDZONES according to CEO Russ Brandon. There will also be red and blue stripes around the 20 yard lines and a larger midfield logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTnSocal Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 . . I'm interested to see whether it's gonna have the word-mark in use since '74, or the new one for 2011 that got a slight trim-down.Looking forward to the blue end-zones ▼▼ 2011 - present ▼▼▼.................▼▼ 1974 - 2010 ▼▼▼............. This model was displayed before the uniform unveiling .... even when zooming it looks like the '74-'10 version which would be totally okay with me, but the change is so minor most wouldn't even notice the difference. Glad to hear the logo at midfield is being enlarged. This is this companies first really big assignment. Ball State has used them but other than that smaller schools that I hadn't heard of before have used their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
