It's been a few days since there has been an Ugly Uniform of the Day, so I figured it's time for another one...
In many ways, the World League of American Football, now NFL Europe, has been good for the NFL. It has helped build the game of football overseas, and has given players the opportunity to jump-start their careers. However, that league has also given birth to some uniform trends that have hit the NFL, which have not been good.
The Buffalo Bills have caught this NFL Europe bug with their road uniform. Their home unis are still ok, because they are still one color. These road jerseys, though, break the rules. I cannot stand it when a jersey has a one color for the shoulders and nameplate, and another one for the rest of the jersey. This Bills jersey has a navy blue shoulder, and a white body. All it is lacking is a logo from a German beer company, and it is good to go for NFL Europe. The Arizona Cardinals have also adopted this style, with red shoulders to go with the white jersey.
The Bills have had some cool uniforms over the years. Their AFL throwbacks are great, and the ones they wore in four Super Bowls in the 90's weren't bad, either. These road jerseys, though, are hideous.
Do away with the colored shoulders!

I have no problem with the pants or the helmet on this sucker. The jersey, on the other hand, is a whole other story. It doesn't match. That's just weird. At least the Duck's unis all went together, even though they were ugly (except that cool helmet :). So, this may not be an ugly uni, it just doesn't match the rest of the outfit. What do you expect from guys, though?
Yeah, and the numbers are a different shade of blue from the pants. They just don't go together.
This thing is straight from NFL Europe.
This would be ok with a plain white jersey. The blue shoulders are just atrocious.
