Bills uniform poll: should the throwbacks be permanent?

On Thursday night, the Buffalo Bills thrilled (the vast majority of) its fan base when the team unveiled its brand new, white throwback jersey. The general consensus this morning is that many, many Bills fans out there would like to see this uniform worn on a permanent basis.

While we wait for the Bills to take the field for their 2:25 afternoon practice (which we'll once again be covering live with the help of MattRichWarren), we thought a quick poll was in order. You get the general gist. Vote one, vote all.

I like the uni and the standing Buffalo helment, but CBF had a good point about the current logo

Would the Bills need to keep that logo? Can anyone do the current logo on a white helment so we could see what it would look like?

and like the chargers new unis, it would be the best of both worlds, and a sentiment to the past, and a testament to future success

The Bills CAN win any game

oh no

i dont think so, half the reason i like the throwback is because of the retro buffalo on the helmet. i think this helmet would make me want to keep the current uniform, it looks too 70’s and ooooooglllyyy

Thanks for the recognition Joe. And for the research. To me this would be the helmet that I’d wear with the throwbacks. That would be my perfect Bills uniforms.

I actually think that idea is too much blue… make the charging Buffalo red, and give it a blue, um, horn streak.

CBF made the point about having the current logo on the helmet….you know from a marketing stand point, the Bills might need to use the current logo as their regular helmet.

I can't see that the Bills have ever had a red face mask.

Would that color be to much of a distraction for some of the players, like the WRs?

See I like the grey and think that it should be kept with the charging Buffalo on the helmet. The grey facemask brings that undeniable retro feeling that I love so much about the electric blue unies.

I voted no, because in the picture of the white unis shown, the pale blue numbers make it look like the old Oilers uniforms. The blue needs to be darker. I would also rather see the charging buffalo on either the white helmet with blue facemask or the current red helmet with white facemask.

But the throwbacks, as is, looks too much like Oilers unis.

it could be glare on the blue (like sunlight) making it look too pale.

I’d be fine with it as long as it had the current helmet or the current logo on the old white helment (blue face mask).

The current uniforms are awful. The Bills made the change when just about every team in the NFL was making their colors darker. Philly, for example, darkened their green to just about black. My personal favorite Bills uniform was worn in the glory days of the early 90s. I’ll take the plain away unis then over the armpit red streak away unis now any day.

Do people realize the modern/current uniforms are a product of the Tom Donahoe era?

Let’s do the right thing, and have them all burned. I don’t like the charging buffalo as well as the standing one, and I think it would look even worse if applied to a white helmet. The grey of the faceguard is in homage to the very first uniforms of the Bills. They wore grey helmets with numbers on them (and I believe, grey/silver pants).

Insanity that the team hasn’t just changed to these throwbacks. Look at what sells from their Pro Shop: throwback merchandise. You see it everywhere, and more times than not, it’s what’s out of stock on the website, and in force at the game.

The time is ripe. Those silly current uniforms are ripe, and they may be part of the near-decade long playoff curse the team has endured.

Because it is there 50th year i beleave that they should wear there old uniforms in respect for the older players all year besides the toronto game they show where the powder blue jeresy and for the game in toronto they should where the 1990’s jersey in respect for the superbowl teams and when they make the playoffs where the 90’s jerseys also.

Can’t you run those poll results by Chris Brown or something… and maybe he can show some the absolute idiots on the Bills marketing squad that everybody hates the current friggin uniforms. I can’t think of a team in the NFL (other than the Bucs, maybe) with uglier unis than the Bills.

I think the red looks most like the early 90’s version of the Patriots helmets. I like grey the best, and probably because it’s in homage to the original uniforms.

Of the above, I think the white would be best, and would look better here if I could have matched the color of the helmet better.

If we change to the throwback unis, what do we wear on throwback day? The the original greys or the 90s unis?
