  SPEAKER_03: Basically, and I'm I mean, yes, I'm gonna have you listen to it, but the gist is there is a blue collar on the uniform, and they are paying homage to Buffalo and what it is, which is blue collar workers, hard workers.

  SPEAKER_02: They could have done yes, yes, understood that.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_02: You have to realize Buffalo many years ago started out as a railroad city, went moved on to a steel city, had to reinvent itself again to do more.

• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: That Bethlehem Steel when it was there, you know, the all these, yes, Buffalo was a and I mean still has a lot of blue collar, you know, uh, let's say, in its core.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: And like I said, it's had to evolve it a bit from there.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: The problem with it is couldn't you put a blue collar on the actual Bills uniform?
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Look at this uniform.
• 2:20

• 2:58
  SPEAKER_03: They probably should have consulted you first.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: Honest to God, the thing's just hideous.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_03: August 15th.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I know preseason, yeah.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_03: Pre-season, August 15th.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, I think we talked about this yesterday.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: Why wouldn't they have worn the red uniforms more?
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: I love those.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: Put a little blue collar on that.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: Figure something out.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_03: So the red uniforms they don't wear that often, right?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: No, I don't even know what they're gonna.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_02: Now, here's my question, too.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: Are they gonna use any of the white or the blue or the red uniforms?
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: Or have we just shifted 100% to this?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_03: Do you think that they don't use the white because it's hard to clean?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: I'm serious.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: Have you tried to clean some sweat stains off of a football jersey?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna bet they got stock and bleach a lot of it.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but you can't bleach it.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_03: Sure you can.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: To that sort of material?
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Of course you can.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um just ask any football mom.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: They'll tell you how they get it out.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Uh-uh.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Two points.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: This is where the Bills have missed the mark twice.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: One with the stupid whiteout uniforms, which were hideous.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Even the TV announcers are like, this is gonna be a heck of a game to call because we're really having a hard time seeing the the uh players' names and numbers.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: Those things were hideous.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Those white out uniforms, and now this, and it's not like I'm stuck in my ways going, uh, you can't change tradition.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: I'm saying you can add blue to whatever and make it a tradition, you know, something from blue collar.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: This uniform is hideous.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_03: What's the connection?
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_03: And you might not know this, and I definitely don't know this because I'm not a I was not raised a Buffalonian.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_03: Why do they call it the nickel city?
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_03: Because that's why they they have that silver sheen.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_03: What's the deal with that?
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_03: Do they used to make nickels there?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: No my god, it's gotta be something with steel, right?
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: I did know something about why it was the nickel city, because it was also called the Queen City for a long time.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, why is that?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know, there's a lot of different things.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: Because the back of the old US Indian head nickel, produced from 1913 to 1938, and commonly called the Buffalo Nickel, featured an American bison.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's interesting, because in this video that you're gonna watch here in a second, as soon as I posted, they have a Native American guy talking in it too.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, forgive me for not remembering the whole nickel thing.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's been a few decades.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_03: Nickel for the bass, blue collar for or uh blue collar for the blue collar workers.
