The Buffalo Bills unveiled their new “Nickel City” alternate uniforms today as a tribute to Buffalo’s industrial heritage and to celebrate the team’s inaugural season at the new Highmark Stadium.
Key features
Nickel-gray jersey and pants inspired by Buffalo’s “Nickel City” nickname and the city’s steel and manufacturing history.
A new royal blue “Charge” helmet featuring the iconic charging buffalo logo.
Red, white, and blue numbering and trim that maintain the Bills’ traditional colors.
A blue collar detail and metallic accents intended to reflect the city’s blue-collar identity.
The uniforms will be worn as an alternate set during the 2026 season, with the NFL allowing teams to wear alternate uniforms up to four times in the regular season.
Initial fan reaction has been sharply divided. While some fans appreciate the fresh look and the tribute to Buffalo’s history, many have criticized the gray color scheme and preferred a return to the popular red helmets or classic throwback uniforms.
