Golden*Wheels Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 My only embarrassment, if it can be called that, having to do with Bills gear is how much I have of it. Do I need 7 Bills Starter jackets (listen, they are dirt cheap on ebay and I LOVED Starter as a kid) or that helmet phone I just bought for my desk? Nope. I'm in CT. I rock my Bills hat and jacket every day. Come at me Pat-bros. I've heard it all.
BruceVilanch Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 No. It's usually a conversation starter, I live in Oregon so not many bills fans. Most people I run into have a soft spot for them since the tragedy we suffered in the 90s

JackKemp Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Never ever have I been embarrassed to wear Bills gear. I have had a lot of conversations around the country with fellow Bills fans as a result. I love hearing a Go Bills! out nowhere when I am out and about.
tbarg12 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Living in Dallas I usually get the "Why the Bills?", when I wear my Bills gear around. I rep it proud though
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I think it is the only test of whether you are a TRUE fan!

I rep it proud though You and Cole Beasley should bond over this... ? I wear it proudly. My wife wears Bills and Sabres gear all the time even though she is a Niners fan (and SF native). She likes the Bills colors and she has found she really likes meeting displaced WNYers. My daughters and sons wear Bills gear all the time. They all tell me that wearing Bills gear always leads to meeting great people with WNY roots. The Bills bond people together like no other fan base. The Steelers might be close but I think the Bills are still more core to the image of WNY than the Steelers are to Pittsburgh. Wearing the gear is a sign of our pride in not just our team but in our home region. To coin an old phrase "We're talking Proud!!!". 10 minutes ago, Augie said: Well, they’re not playing NOW, are they? Maybe I’ll hold off till the regular season. Preseason counts for nothing.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 It's called being a fan ... I'm sure Cubs fans weren't embarrassed before they won a Series. I think there's bigger fish to fry in life ...

hondo in seattle Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 It's easy to be a Pats fan. It takes character to be a Bills fan. I wear Bills colors proudly. 2 1
JPP Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 If i was embarressed i would not buy any to begin with & I would no longer be a fan if thats the case.... 1
DC Grid Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Not at all! I wear Bills gear around DC all the time and there isn’t a single day I’m out running errands or at a bar that multiple people don’t say go Bills....usually pretty emphatically.
GreggTX Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I live just outside Dallas and #%$@ no, I'm not embarrassed to wear Bills gear. If someone doesn't like it, they can go *€^<> themselves. I don't care how many games they win or lose. I wear my Sabres gear too.
KD in CA Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 2 hours ago, ProcessAccepted said: Proud to wear Bills stuff. Always amazed by how many people comment on it. Buffalo is kinda like that Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, seems like everyone has a tie to the WNY or the team. Yup. I wore Bills stuff skiing last month in CA and got several shout outs.
Augie Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I was working in a bank in Hilton Head, SC when a lady and her daughter walked in. The daughter had a Bills shirt on so I asked if the were from Buffalo. They said yes, from Williamsville. I asked where. She said not actually Williamsville, Swormville. I asked where. She said Ransom Oaks. I asked which street. Fiddlers Green. I asked which house. They lived two doors down from us! I knew the red house, but mainly noticed the giant Newfoundland dogs. Anyway, we became pals and I used look forward to them coming in and chatting. All due to a Bills shirt. 1
