Party like it's 1987. In an exciting nod to their rich history, the Buffalo Bills have officially announced the return of their iconic red helmets for the 2025 season.
The Bills will wear their red helmets for the Week 18 game against the Jets to celebrate the final regular season game at Highmark Stadium, allowing fans a chance to relive the nostalgia before Buffalo opens new Highmark Stadium next year.
The bold, striking red helmets feature the classic blue and white striping with white facemasks the team wore from 1987-2001. The announcement was made in a thrilling video, showing highlights of iconic Bills moments, underscoring the deep connection between the red helmets and the team's legacy.
"There's no better way to celebrate our fans and honor our team's history by bringing back the red helmets. The Bills provided this region with some of the most incredible moments in franchise history in the 1990s wearing these helmets and we feel this is a great way to commemorate the closing of Highmark Stadium in our regular season finale," said Bills Chief Operating Officer Pete Guelli.
The Bills will also bring back the 'Standing Buffalo' throwback uniforms twice during the 2025 season. These vintage uniforms, with the bold, red Buffalo silhouette on the helmet and classic jersey color scheme, are a nostalgic nod to the Bills' rich history and passionate fanbase.
Buffalo will wear the throwback jerseys with the standing Buffalo helmet for their Week 6 MNF at Atlanta and Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay. The Falcons already announced they will be wearing their red-helmet, black-jersey throwback uniforms against the Bills.
The standing Buffalo design, first introduced in 1962, is beloved by fans for its simplicity and distinctiveness. The last time the Bills wore their throwbacks was Oct. 31, 2021 vs. Miami in a 26-11 win. Wearing the standing Buffalo uniforms not only honors the team's past but also energizes the fanbase as the Bills push toward another successful season.
