RUMOR ALERT: New Bills Uniforms, ZOMG

RUMOR ALERT: New Bills Uniforms, ZOMG
The internet is heating up with the alleged designs of new NFL jerseys. So we're going to fan the flames. 

Nike, as you may have heard, has won the contract to provide NFL uniforms beginning in 2012.  Nike management has already said they plan on changing the look of NFL uniforms "dramatically" like they have with college jerseys.  Perhaps the most conspicious example of a radically modernized Nike uniform is that of the Oregon Ducks who now have 5 different uniform combinations (see image).  Will Nike be making similar style changes to the NFL jerseys? Well, who knows.

But what we do know is that an image has been floating around that is alleged to be a potential new Bills uniform design.  And well, it is similar to what Nike did to the Oregon jersey. It's more modern and more something. . . .

What is a "Bill" anyways? And how does it relate to a Buffalo?
Does we have a lot of men named Bill here? If that's the case then they should be the Stans..or Irv's. Yeah I like better, The Buffalo Irvs!

Not sure if you're serious or working on a standup routine. However, the team is named after "Buffalo" Bill Cody.

Not sure if you think "Buffalo Bill Cody" has absolutely anything to do with our city, but he doesn't. Pointless name.

One of the "Bills" were given that name because they wanted to avoid something cliched like the "Bisons" or a Native American reference.

It certainly beats the idea of the Buffalo Wilsons.

Well Carter..I believe the term is "facetious". If you had some type of idea on how a business, group or idea is branded, then perhaps you too would question the naming of the Buffalo Bills; as well as using the animal instead of the man. Case in point the Buccaneers, or Patriots whom employ a man..not an animal that is no longer native to this area.

Atrocious...just make the throwbacks the uniform. If they want a 3rd, make them the 80s Greg Bell era ones...those were the first ones with the red helmets.

Helmet yes. Jersey no. The current throwback jersey with charging Buffalo woth red or white background.

I'd wager that there is no uniform design that anyone could ever propose that people would not hate on. One season with any design and it will feel normalish.

If I'm not mistaken, a 'Bill' is an old English term for 'battle axe'.

But the Bills are named for Buffalo Bill Cody, who had a traveling circus of sorts, staffed by many a talented outdoorsman.

I agree with you. We should have an equal number of men and women on the team and equal representation from all ethnic backgrounds. The same should be said of all professions. Let's force the quotas to ensure equality for both genders and transgenders as well. Force the quotas for all ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientation, religions, etc. That is what we need in America is more diversity. Let's make unemployment and homelessness equal too. One out of every four white families should leave their home and give it to a hispanic or black family who is renting one somewhere. One out of every five white students should be kicked out of college and their tuition should be given to a minority who isn't equally represented at the school. We should kick two out of three teachers out of elementary schools and replace them with men, because elementary teachers are overwhelmingly female.

If this doesn't work, then we should just shut the organization down. End professional football and baseball because they are not equal.

When we go to universal healthcare, let's be sure that the spending on men is exactly equal to spending on women. No extra for gynecological issues because that would mean that we are not all equal. Bring the spending down to the lowest common denominator between men and women then let the rest be paid out of pocket.

Wow its a football team name, didn't realize it had to be so closely associated with the city. So how many Bears are in Chicago, shouldn't they change their name too? Why don't you guys take it a step further and make the city change their name becasue there was never any Buffalo in surrounding area.

I wonder if they could do a mock-up of what the uniforms will look like when the Bills move to another city.
