Josh Allen will take the field rocking a Pat Patriot throwback Sunday.
Wait, what?
Well, that’s how a large segment of New England Patriots fans felt after the Buffalo Bills revealed their “new uniform combination” ahead of the Week 16 matchup at Highmark Stadium.
The uniform combination includes a typical white Bills helmet, a red jersey and white pants — nearly a mirror image of the infamous Pat Patriot throwbacks.
Patriots fans sounded off on social media following the official reveal:
@_JP26_ commented: “How about the Patriots throwbacks but we use our own helmets.”
@DrakePats commented: “This is literally just the Patriots throwback lol”
@BillTooke commented: “It should be the standard! Though it does make them look like the Patriots circa 1985.”
@iJordanMoore commented: “so they just copied the Patriots…”
@Uh_ayjay commented: “This is literally the Patriots throwback scheme.”
@TFFDads commented: “They want to be the Pats so bad.”

The uniform isn’t the only advantage the Bills are expected to have against the Patriots, as FanDuel Sportsbook lists Buffalo as a 14.5-point home favorite. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET after being pushed back by the league.
