Forked from: AFL Throwback Games... (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showpost.php?postid=2859939)


Rumors are circulating that Buffalo will release a white throwback for the NE game but it's a one time deal modeled after...


Fact #13 -As part of the NFL’s 75th Anniversary Celebration in 1994, each team wore a ‘throwbacks” uniform for at least one game. The Bills wore a uniform modeled after the team’s 1964-65 version. The most distinguishing features of the throwbacks uniforms included a white standing buffalo against the red helmet and red, white, and blue striped socks. The Bills wore these uniforms for two games - a 15-7 road win at Houston (white jerseys) on 9/19/94 and a 27-20 home victory over Denver (blue jerseys) on Monday night, 9/26/94.


White throwbacks (http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/2009/06/white-throwbacks.html)

The Bills revealed in their training camp press release that on their night practice at training camp on July 30, they will lauch the official Bills jersey commemorating the 50th anniversary of the AFL. They already have a blue throwback for sale. They play a road game at Tennessee in which they will wear a throwback jersey. So expect them to be unveiling a white 1960s era jersey at that night practice at St. John Fisher.

First and foremost, I love this and think the new white uni will be awesome.

However, does a uni a playoff team make? I think not.

The current throwbacks are beautiful. Maybe the best uni's in the league. I can't wait to see the white ones.

I have been waiting for the white throwbacks to come out since the blue ones came out. I am pretty excited about these, I hope they go on sale!

I love the current uni's compared to the 90's, I think the all blue is sweet. That said, I would kill for us to swith to the throwbacks premenatly.

I guess I'm in the minority. I love our current unis!! But then again, blue is my favorite color.

The current blues are acceptable (that picture of Lynch above... blue on blue), but the current whites are awful. That blue block on the top is just pointless. I'd be OK with them if they just made the whole thing white and ditched the block. As for the helmets, either works for me. I know a standing Buffalo doesn't strike fear, but there's just something classic about that look.

The white ones don't look as good as the blue ones, but they're still nice.

I like them. Not as much as the throwback blues but Like them. I wish they would go to both throwbacks instead of the current unis. Maybe have our current Blue unis as a 3rd jersey

Looks like Moorman and Grossman had a kid and he grew up to be a hybrid.

Maybe so, but those white on whites are so much better than what we have right now... I will definitely be getting one of those jerseys for a birthday present.

a white standing buffalo against the red helmet

Well, I'm not exciting as much now. I was hoping to see them break out the red helmets but from the pictures I've seen they are just using the current throwback helmets. :sadwalk:

I honestly love our home jerseys with the all blue. I do like the throwbacks, but I don't want to go to them permanently.

They must of modified them a bit as they used to look like these (from the zone gallery):

Love the idea. I have a custom white throwback in the closet. Buffalo needs to continue to use the current unis but needs to make the throw backs aour alt. uni.

Just my thougths
