Jetkid94 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Bills-to-wear-white-jerseys-on-Sunday/97246a0c-140b-43be-a0a3-5452b6fb06f0 Orchard Park, NY - The Buffalo Bills will wear their white jerseys for their home game on Sunday, November 6, 2011 vs. the NY Jets. Sunday will be the first time since their home game vs. the Indianapolis Colts on October 19, 1986 that they have worn their white jerseys at home. The Bills will wear their royal blue jerseys during the next two road games at Dallas and Miami. With no Bills throwback uniform game during the 2011 season this Sunday’s game gives the Bills the opportunity to wear their white jersey in front of the home crowd. The Bills vs. Colts game in 1986, won by the Bills 24-13, was Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly’s first AFC East victory, and in the game he threw two touchdown passes to wide receiver Andre Reed. Kicker Scott Norwood booted a field goal and three extra points in the game, and will be in attendance on Sunday to receive the Ralph C. Wilson Distinguished Service Award during the first break of the first quarter. In addition, the Bills will recognize area military members as part of their Veteran’s Day recognition and pregame festivities. Caitlin Koch (pronounced Cook), former contestant on the X-Factor television show, will sing God Bless America. Wounded warriors and local military members, who participated in the Bills Uniform Launch Event to unveil the team’s new uniforms, will be in attendance to present the game ball. All branches of the military will be recognized on field during pregame, and the Army National Guard will conduct a pregame enlistment ceremony. Finally, the Bills will show a special pregame tribute video to honor Bills Wall of Fame center Kent Hull who recently passed away. There doing a lot for this game... it doesn't say the Norwood thing in here but I did read elsewhere about that which is weird they would honor him.. Bills- 5-0 in blue....0-2 in white Jets- 4-0 in green 0-3 in white Bad game for the bills to switch it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Kicker Scott Norwood booted a field goal and three extra points in the game, and will be in attendance on Sunday to receive the Ralph C. Wilson Distinguished Service Award during the first break of the first quarter. This is the part about why he's getting honored. Makes a lot more sense when you realize it's not his on-field performance. That said, don't be surprised if he gets booed by the home crowd anyway.

JetsFanInDenver Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Now that the Bills are finally relevant its time to make some money. I won't be surprised if they play every home game in a different color and designed jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yes the Jets are going into a tough atmosphere but until this year we have played better on the road-now is the time to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveg Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 So does that mean the Jets will be wearing their home green? The Jets are undefeated this year in those uni's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Some of the players are calling the fans for a white-out. I wish our fans were passionate enough to do something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 They are trying for a "whiteout" for Sunday, yes. They are handing out white pom poms at the gates. I own a blue bills jersey, but will probably try and get something white to wear. As for Norwood being booed, I doubt it. It's not solely his fault anyway. That game should have never come down to that in the first place. It's not like it was a chip shot 25 yarder either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Mostro Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 All-white is reminiscent of the days when Jack Kemp was QB'ing the Jills -- the good old AFL days. They will lose just like they did post '64/'65. I usually am anti-pickle, but we should pickle their beef on wek asses. Green on green on green.
