Buffalo Bills Unveil New Uniforms

Orchard Park, NY - The Bills today unveiled the new uniforms that the team will wear beginning with the upcoming 2002 season. The modification marks the first significant uniform change for the Bills since 1984 when they switched from white helmets to red ones. The team showcased the new look at a special unveiling event today at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

The traditional red, white and blue color scheme that has been part of the Bills look since 1962 remains but has been intensified with the addition of a darker blue. The team's red helmet with a blue charging buffalo on the side has also been maintained but has been modified to include nickel gray and navy stripes. In another nod to tradition, the nickel gray of the 1960-61 Bills returns as a subtle enhancement on the helmet as well as the jersey and pants.

"We're very excited to unveil this new look and we hope all of our fans are as well," said Team President/General Manager Tom Donahoe. "We feel that this is a look that reflects the organization's strengths, tradition, and personality. This is an extremely proud franchise with a very rich history and it was important that this new look reflected that tradition and at the same time moved forward. We think this look is dynamic, aggressive, and exciting and reflects not only where we've been but also where we're going."

Fans can purchase the new uniforms in the Bills Pro Shop.
