skibum Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Not embarrassed, but because I live in New England, it can be genuinely uncomfortable. Too many Pats fans are pathetic human beings - mean-spirited, aggressively antagonistic, no class, no respect for others' fandom. Rival teams' fans are simply not welcome. I don't even go to the bar on Sunday if the Pats are playing - I got sick of being harassed, and it's not the good-natured ribbing I always enjoy with other fan bases. Fortunately, the Brady Bunch are regularly featured in the prime time slots, so there are usually a few 'safe Sundays' when I can go watch the Bills get crushed in peace.
GunnerBill Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Nope. In fact I had my bills beanie hat on at Cheltenham races all week last week. A few fans of other teams came over and had a chat and I saw one fool in a Pats hat notice it and smirk.

Seasons1992 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Never. I'm known as the surrogate Bills fan in these parts because of my gear out in public.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Absolutely not!! I wear Bills gear all of the time. I don’t wear jerseys and stuff unless they are playing but gym clothes, a golf shirt, etc... 1
AmishRifle Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Wear it proudly everyday! We’re talking Proud!
Gugny Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I've been wearing a Bills jersey on every football Sunday (and the rare Monday) for decades. Never stopped; never will. I wear other random Bills t-shirts/hats throughout the year. Jerseys are only for game days.
seregil42 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I work in an office with Patriots, Eagles, Cowboys, Colts, Lions fans. I'm the only one that has posters, flags, magnets proudly displayed. Well, I take that back. My supervisor does have a small Eagle helmet on his desk.
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 No disrespect but it’s kinda embarrassing you ask that question. As critical as I can be about this team, I absolutely love being a Buffalo Bills fan. I take so much pride being from Buffalo and other people respect us for our pride. It’s easy to be a Pats or Warriors fan (especially since most of them just become one!). It’s not easy to be a Bills fan. If you are embarrassed to wear Bills stuff, then it’s more of a you problem IMO. 5 1
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I'm never more proud than when I'm wearing Bills or Sabres gear, and I am a guy that wears a suit and tie daily in my profession. I was on vacation in Sarasota recently and wore my Bills cap. First person I met told me that he was originally from Chautauqua and had lived in Florida for 30 years. He said, "You've got a lot to be proud of wearing that hat." He was spot on!
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I don't know if it's fair to say the guy was embarrassed. It sounds more to me like a guy who gets hammered by fans of other teams on a regular basis and is giving the ole' "yeah, yeah - I get it, whatever". I understand that feeling completely. You're not embarrassed. You just know it's a losing battle trying to debate Bills with ignorant bandwagon fans of winning teams. So you just get programmed to cut them off before they start in because you just don't wanna listen to it from someone else. Edited March 19, 2019 by BillsFanForever19 1
Believer Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Two decals on the Jeep... Wear my Bills cap most days... Great way to meet other Bills fans and Buffalonians down here in Sarasota... Go Bills!!... Progress not perfection...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Never. When I go away on vacation, it's basically all I wear. And every day it sparks some kind of conversation - somebody with a tie to the team, either as a fan or an opponent or someone who has lived in the area. 3
prissythecat Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I usually wear some type of Bills themed whenever I go on vacation. Am often pleasantly surprised to hear "Go Bills!" from some person passing me on the street who notices the Bills gear.

Any time I'm on vacation and have a bill's shirt or hat on, it takes about 1 minute before i hear, "Go Bills!" come from out of nowhere from random people. Then i respond with the same. Its even better when some random person starts to sing the Shout! song. Edited March 19, 2019 by loyal2dagame 2
