For years, the Bills Mafia has been begging the Bills to bring back the red helmets, even if it’s just for one game. But Buffalo Bills legend Jim Kelly thinks that would be better.

The Bills have had the same helmet for years

It’s been years since the Bills have worn anything other than their white helmets with the charging buffalo on them to a game. The last time anything different was seen was in Week 8 of 2021 when the Bills faced Miami wearing the white helmet with the standing buffalo.

Josh Allen annoyed us

If you’re a big Bills fan, you may have noticed that Josh Allen has been poking fun at us over the years. It’s become something of a tradition for Allen to show up before the Bills’ red/blue practice game wearing a different colored helmet in recent years. The first year he showed up wearing a red helmet. The next year it was blue, and that was pretty cool. Last year the helmet was black.

He never wears it during a game. He only takes it off at the start of the practice game and then puts on a regular helmet to play.

Jim Kelly has expressed his preference for an alternative Bills helmet

Jim Kelly was a guest on Eric Wood’s Centered On Buffalo podcast this week. Wood asked Kelly if he thought the Bills should bring back the Bills’ throwback 90’s gear (the red helmet) for a game. This was his response:

“Without a doubt!” he said immediately. But he didn’t stop there. He went on to ask Wood if he had ever seen the blue ones and added that THAT was his favorite. This one looked like this:

I have to admit. Of all the new designs he showed us, this blue one is pretty cool. Which one would you rather show them as an “alternative” helmet?
