The Bills.

Granted, the Pats are not using the original logo from the 60 season but the Bills uniform was gray and blue (like the Lions). They can't even haul out the original uniform and do that right. So pitiful. So typical. As God awful as the Broncos' original uni was they still used it (and beat NE).

We might as well wear those jerseys full-time now. Since we're looking like the new Lions.

Our jerseys now are dark and gloomy, as a result we've had dark and gloomy results.

The old jerseys are softer on the eyes and blue like the sky, please bring it back.

I don't think the old gray & blue jerseys would sell at the merchandise stand like the white & blue ones have. After all isn't it the bottom line that matters not tradition?

Jersey's have nothing to do with how well a team plays.

Joe Ferguson would argue with you on that!

If the Bills wore brown, teal, orange, yellow, and neon they'd still lose yesterday.

Umm...wasn't it these uniforms that we wore during our AFL Championship years? If so...then that should explain why we wear them.

Plus those 1960 uniforms were boring and ugly as hell. Why would we want to look like the Lions?

I'm sure those Brown and Gold unis for Denver were flying off the shelf...those unis were so bad that 50 years ago the team burned their unis in protest.

I agree with Eb.

We should be wearing silver and blue with silver helmets.

This organization is one big cluster****.

in other words...the Bills chose not use to use their original uniforms because they knew they wouldn't be able to make all the money off them that they are making on the throwbacks that they chose to wear instead...

no...in other words they couldn't spend the few extra nickles to bring back the 1960s unis...just like they had the white bison on the red helmet as a one game throwback 10 years ago...on the cheap.

Thank you! It looks to me like most people wanted to honor their winning AFL teams...not just their first AFL team.
