In the early 90s, when the Bills were the unquestioned kings of the AFC, it was an unmitigated joy to see their perfect red-inferno helmets every Sunday. It wasn’t enough that Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed were better than everyone else — they looked fantastic, too.
Unfortunately, Buffalo stopped wearing those pristine red metal caps during the 2002 season. I have no way to confirm this, but it’s no coincidence the Bills were a cellar dweller for much of the time since. Look terrible, and play even worse. To clarify: I mean complete disrespect to the current white helmets they don most of the time now. I don’t blink when they lose games in those abominations.
