Earlier this week, the Buffalo Bills unveiled their new "Nickel City" alternate uniforms.

The uniforms are an all-gray pants and jersey combination with a blue-based helmet featuring "The Charge" logo. The design is a "tribute to the strength, grit and authenticity of Western New York's hard-working people throughout history," according to the team.

This uniform announcement drew quite a bit of criticism from fans in the comment section — criticism that was noticed by Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

On Wednesday, Allen urged fans to pump the breaks on their criticism.

"Stop hating on the jerseys, guys," Allen said with a smile. "They're great. I honestly like them. It's a new look. It is. I understand that. But we've got to be new, and I think these jerseys are kind of symbolic of that. I'm excited to wear them.

"We have to move forward and do something new, and that's what we're doing."

Allen and the Bills are heading into a new era under head coach Joe Brady following the dismissal of longtime leader Sean McDermott. Buffalo had a golden opportunity to compete for a Super Bowl title last year, but ultimately suffered a disappointing overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs.
