I completely agree with the Sabres being on the list, but they are #1 for me. I never knew why they felt the need to change the sweaters aside from making people buy new jerseys. That slug will never represent my team.

The Bills uni isn't terrible, but I agree that they should just play in the throwbacks all season.

Personally, Both teams should use their 1993 styles, with SLIGHT updates.

How do you guys feel about Buffalo's uniforms, past, present and possible future?

I think the Sabres suck. Their uniforms suck too. They’re not the Buffalo Buffaloes. Also sucking are the Maple Leafs, Bruins, and Canadiens.

I would love to see the Bills play in their 1993 jerseys or the throwbacks. Both are stylin’. I think what they have now looks like it was made from the scraps of an art school project. They can keep the black shoes, though.

which hockey teams don’t you think suck?

Why, the greatest team in hockey… the Ottawa Senators, of course! I actually like most of the NHL (excluding Detroit and Anaheim), but of course I despise division rivals, with an extra special hatred for Toronto and Buffalo.

I love everyone at BR, though!

Feeling’s mutual. good luck in FA. Looks like Heatley will still get that 4 million dollar signing bonus, but will probably get moved sometime. hope you get something good in return.

and by good, I mean nothing.

I hate the current editions of both as well.

The Sabre jerseys in those early 90s were great; TV didn’t do them justice. I remember seeing a game in Maple Leaf Gardens. Seeing the road blues in that venue was like looking at art, or one of Joe Ps avatars.

I like the Bills throwbacks, but I like the early 90s better. The standing Buffalo on the helmet is awesome no matter what jersey it’s wore with.

Actually, I like the Bills’ practice jerseys the best.

I don’t know why everyone dislikes the Bills unis. But I totally agree about the Sabres: they need to go back to the emblem with the Buffalo between the sabres.

Both are terrible

How funny is that last picture in the retro unis where Lee and Reed look like oompa loompas…and they’re in the front!

Anyway, yeah the Bills unis are pretty terrible, and I far prefer the electric blues. Not a fan of the “charging” buffalo since a giant red protuberance does not indicate speed to me.

I actually really like the Bengals uniforms.

they seriously look like the little kids at the backyard game trying to get in the huddle. it took me a second to realize that they were actually surrounded by normal-sized dudes instead of giants surrounding an average player.

I’d like to see the throwbacks with the modern logo on the white helmets. I think that’d be pretty rockin’.

Most deffinatly their new ones that they will be using this year…wenever I play madden i use the all white uni. its the best…cant wait to see them play in them

by carlvanetten on Jun 30, 2009 11:13 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

maybe its because the Sabres aren't that important to me

but the Bills unis are way worse, and ridiculous. The best NFL uniforms are simple…and the throwbacks do that for me and I wish we would just go to them full time. It doesn’t make sense why they haven’t. Maybe they will issue a change this year as a final “surprise” for the upcoming season….but I doubt it

The Bills CAN win any game

by killascript on Jul 1, 2009 9:55 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I’d venture a guess that they haven’t gone to the throwbacks full-time because they probably signed some agreement with the designer to use them for a set amount of games/years.

They’re terrible and the road whites make the players look really slow and out of shape – or is that just the team doing that to my senses?

Is that how it works?

You have a kind of lease on the Jersey design? Maybe so, but I’d like some confirmation on that one.

Bills Unis

I have hated the current uniforms from Day 1. I’ve always wondered how much money someone made for designing them. They were and are a huge disappointment. Besides all of the hideous colors, the piping doesn’t even match between the jerseys and pants.

As for the alternates, even friends who hate the Bills rave about those uniforms. Simple, but electric!!!

I've been feeling Buffalo ill.

by ChipShot on Jul 1, 2009 10:25 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yea

couldn’t agree any more with this guy’s take. why not just go to the throwbacks full time?
