Bills Unveil Throwback Jerseys

Buffalobills.com photo - Throwback Jersey Throwback Road Game: The Bills have yet to announce which road game they will use the throwback uniforms. Speculation now centers around the November 20th game in San Diego. The Chargers were the team that the Bills beat to capture the AFL Championship in both 1964 and 1965.

Bills To Use Old Helmets: The Bills will use the throwback helmets from the championship teams from 1964 and 65 with their throwback jerseys. It will be the red standing Buffalo and the white helmet. The team will wear white pants with it making it look almost identical to the uniforms worn in the 60's.

Bills Unveil Throwback Jerseys: The Bills revealed their throwback jerseys today. They look like the AFL Championship years jerseys with the stripes on the sleeves and the royal blue color. They will use the jerseys on opening day and one unspecified road game during the coming season. You can purchase a jersey and other throwback merchandise at the Official Bills Website. What do you think of the jerseys? Let us know by taking the poll on our homepage.

McGahee To Arrive: Willis McGahee has missed the first two weeks of organized team activities. Like several other former University of Miami players, he is working out at his old school where the training program is considered very rigorous. His agent said that McGahee will join the team for next week's OTAs. Also missing as the week ended were Eric Moulds, Travis Henry, Lawrence Smith, Uyi Osunde, and Aaron Schobel. Remaining out with injuries were Mark Campbell, Tim Euhus, Kevin Thomas, Kahlil Hill, Ben Sobieski, and Ross Tucker.

Losman Struggles: J.P. Losman spoke with the media following the end of the second week of organized team activities. He felt the practices before today were much, much better but they got a lot of things accomplished anyway. He said he analyzes the bad days more than the good ones. They were plays that they weren't too familiar with and he feels it will be fine when he runs through them again. He also feels practicing against his defense will benefit the offense since they are so good. He will be at the uniform unveiling tomorrow, he calls it an honor to be on the field celebrating the tradition of the teams that are being honored. He is in the process of critiquing himself as this time. He can't really evaluate other players since he's concentrating on his own play.

Mularkey Sees Team On A Mission: Coach Mularkey spoke to the media at the end of the second week of organized team activities. He said he's very happy with the response that they have had to the OTAs, what has helped is the schedule. It was designed to let the players spend three days a week with their families. He feels it is evident that the team is on a mission and it may be a result of the bad taste the season ending loss to the Steelers left in their mouths. He said the defense is still stressing turnovers and getting off the field on third downs. Mularkey knows that the offense will get blitzed a lot with a young quarterback. He feels the defense blitzing him a lot in workouts will benefit both sides of the ball. The team takes 10 minutes each day to emphasize one game situation. Today they concentrated on third down blitzing, yesterday was the red zone. Next week they will work on the two minute drill.

Bills To Look At DT: Former Redskin defensive tackle Jermaine Haley is expected in Buffalo to tryout with the team during the organized team activities. Haley played for Washington last year and is forgoing a trip to Canada where he was scheduled to join the BC Lions' training camp.

Titans Up Offer For Henry: NFL.com is reporting that the Titans have upped their offer for Travis Henry but the Bills aren't biting yet. The Titans reportedly have offered a fourth round pick for Henry, previously they reportedly only offered a fifth round pick. The Bills originally wanted a 2nd round pick for Henry but would accept a third rounder according to speculation. They would not budge again and accept the Titans latest offer.

Festivities Begin Tonight: The Bills Celebration Of Champions festivities gets underway tonight with a carnival in the stadium parking lot.

Bills Sign Gates: The Bills got an early jump on signing their draft picks by inking a deal with 7th round draft pick Lionel Gates. The running back is the first pick to sign and it is usual that the lowest draft pick signs first. ESPN reports the deal is for three years and is worth $959,000 including a $34,000 signing bonus.

Free Agency Part 2: The second phase of free agency kicks off today. This is the first day teams can cut veterans and have the amortized portion of their signing bonus spread out over two years for cap reasons. That means some high priced veterans will get released starting today. The Bills aren't expected to drop too many people if any at all. We will keep you posted.

OTAs Continue: The 2nd week of organized team activities are in full swing. The team gathered yesterday and will work through Friday as the Celebrations of Champions festivities begin tomorrow evening.
