fridge Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Everyone wanted the naming rights sold, and now they do it and we have 11 pages complaining about it? The Bills are damned if they do, damned if they don't. ...we don't have 11 pages of people complaining about them selling the rights. It's about the amateur-hour last-minute graphics they've plastered on the front door.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I get it, you just paid millions for the naming rights. But you are really going to stand there and replace the front door of the stadium with the former deceased owners name with a stupid advertisement for hats? You couldn't come up with some sort of decent logo, signage. Instead it looks like a stupid billboard off the 190. Ralph is probably rolling over in his grave right now. Pegula should be ashamed of himself as well. For someone who is such a pansy when he talks about his teams and his town, sure sells out like a B word. yeah that is bad but selling the name was the right thing to do
Chandler#81 Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 I don't like the sign either. It's Loud and hard on the eyes, IMO. A single cap would have done the trick -maybe make the cap interchangeable to promote their new styles. It's fugly.
The Senator Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Honestly, New Era had about 3 days to "re-badge" an entire complex the size of "The Ralph", and get it done before tomorrow's game. What should they have done? Maybe some signage that states, "New Era - purveyor of caps to Major League Baseball for, like, forever, and representing Buffalo, NY worldwide with retail stores in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, Paris, London, Berlin, and various other sites throughout the globe" ??? Get a grip. Ralph has a statue at the stadium, his name is - and always will be - on The Wall, & he's in the NFL Hall of Fame. What more does he need? He was fine with naming rights, his widow is, and we should be too. That is all I have on this topic.

Diagnosed with liver cancer in 2012 - which, I've learned, has a mortality rate of 75% within 5 years, so I'm doin' fairly well! I've been seeing a lot of doctors and going through a few procedures since then. The good folks at Roswell Park Cancer Institue have taken, and continue to take, wonderful care of me.

That is all I have on this topic. let me just say that New Era, The Pegulas, The Bills org, and the NFL knew about this a long time before this past week when it was announced. You means to tell me that upon their multimillion dollar deal with the Bills and the NFL, Mew Era thought it would be a great idea to out up a highway billboard selling new caps? Yeah, I guess I didn't think that through. Makes perfect sense. In remission.

Beerball Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 Most stadiums have "Bank of America Stadium" and "EverBank Field" and "Metlife Stadium" plastered all over them with little reference to the team. If you are taking issue with the architecture of the entrance...well that's a different argument. You are just not following along here. At least read a post before you comment on it fercryingoutloud.
