Josh Allen doesn’t want to hear it anymore. Near the end of his conference on Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills star quarterback defended the team’s new “Nickel City” alternate uniforms amid criticism they’ve gotten since being revealed on Monday.
“Stop hating on the jerseys, guys,” the former NFL Most Valuable Player said, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.
The Bills have yet to announce which games they’ll wear the uniforms, but as far as Allen is concerned, he’s clearly digging the new threads.
“I enjoy them. I think it’s very symbolic of what we want to do and what we want to be,” Allen shared. “I understand people want the old jerseys and the old helmets and all that.
“But at some point, too, we are moving forward. We have to move forward and do something new — and that’s what we’re doing.”
The new kits feature an all-gray combination of pants and jersey. Completing the look is a blue helmet that comes with the iconic red charge.
According to Alec White of the Bills’ website, the “design is a tribute to the strength, grit and authenticity of Western New York’s hard-working people throughout history.”
Here is a video shared by the Bills on X, introducing the uniform.

The Bills won’t just have a new alternate uniform in 2026, as they’ll also have a new home. The team is moving into the new Highmark Stadium, located at Bills Plaza in Orchard Park, N.Y.
The only thing missing, it seems, for Allen and the Bills is the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which they will be aiming for again after going 12-5 and reaching the AFC Divisional Round last season.
