If your answer is “yes”, how can you call yourself a fan? Don’t even get me started on the third down train whistle. Enjoy your bells and whistles, I'll enjoy the game

blacklabel Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 I generally pick up the draft hat each year but last year's hat was pretty boring and this year's hats just aren't for me. If you think the design on these ones are bad, phew, I used to work with a guy who had a friend that worked at New Era and every so often he would get "proofs" which are hats that were made and then one of several designs gets chosen to go into a full production run. The hats that don't get picked, I don't know if they become free game for employees but this guy would come up with a handful of (usually) Sabres hats and some of the designs on those things, gah. But then on the flipside, there were some that I saw with great designs that you wish they would've picked for the full run.

Orlando Buffalo Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 This is why I love being a Bills fan-this team is so much a part of us that we care about the hats we give the newest Bills. BTW I like the Billieve but not the style.

It strikes me as a term only used by non-Bills fans to describe Bills fans. It's like saying Buffalo is in "upstate NY". The only people who say that are people not from Buffalo.

The mafia term is very popular with players, and Lord knows we need something to entice them. So players are going to want to sign with the Bills because of a stupid moniker? Newsflash...there is only one thing 95% of the players care about when signing a contract...$$$.

Atmosphere is very important and there are numerous cases of players turning down big contracts to teams they don't like. The players love it and they talk about it all the time.

Player #1...I have two identical offers from the Bills and the Patriots Player #2...The Bills have that cool saying..."Bills Mafia" Player#1...You're right...why go to a team that is a SB contender every year when I can go to a team where I can tweet about the Bills Mafia. LOL
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Just got off the BB dot com. New team slogan "One Heart, Beat Louder." So pissed right now. Swearing off the whole team.

LOL I used to work out with an ex-NFL player about 5 years ago who had a visit to Buffalo. It didn't work out because we didn't offer enough. He personally told me that he was interested in Buffalo because it was a college like atmosphere with the fans and loved that environment. It wasn't the only factor, it was a position of need for us and he played that position. But he did mention the fans.
Augie Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 We should give the Patriots our draft hats as punishment for stealing our uniforms. 1 1
