As I was walking to my car yesterday, I noticed a bunch of people with the new throwback jerseys on. I had my Thurman Thomas jersey with me and I realized something. They've gone back to the royal blue that everyone was missing. There was a bunch of complaints about the new uniforms when they came out, many of them were people who missed the royal blue. A lot of the older fans hated the new uniform because it screwed up with tradition and seemed too much like the Broncos jerseys. Even Kent Hull said that "The first time I saw the jersey they're wearing now, I thought they looked like the Denver Broncos. This looks like Buffalo."
By bringing these back as throwbacks, it's a way for the Bills to throw a bone to the fans and apologize in a way. I think that their main goal for these new jerseys is to increase sales and it did what they wanted. A bunch of people bought them yesterday and a bunch are still buying them off the site. Either way, I'm glad they decided to bring the old style back. I love the way the royal blue looks.
