No need for the crack about "what's next, a reality show?" and so forth. How fun would it be if everyone all made a short non-frills professional response to everything? No personality allowed? I think you read my words in an unintended tone. If you were next to me and I said it there’s no way you’d take it as personally as you seem to be. Is the comment about his avatar okay? Just making sure, don’t want to cross the line. He didn’t specifically ask about the avatar so o may have been out of bounds. Edited October 17, 2019 by Bobby Hooks

Knowing who /what it represents helps sort it out. On TV people see Elvis & The Chefs every game. Pinto Ron seems more of a Bills Only Tailgate thing. Pancho Billa may only be know due to his passing. again -- outside of WNY and Bills fans WTF 2

I took the most famous fans also known as the SuperFans of the Buffalo Bills (Pancho Billa, Pinto Ron, Elvis & The Chefs) and Collaborates them to create this logo attached. I have yet to decide to make tee shirts of it but before I do I wanted to get the fans opinion on the logo and the idea, hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. I agree with everyone that says a lot of fans outside of Buffalo are not going to understand this. Your concept is good, but the execution is puzzling. Took me awhile to figure out who was who, and the Bills logo is too faded. Keep working on it.

To be honest, it gets a bit tiring having the camera show these same fans every flipping home game. Don't get me wrong... good on them for supporting the Bills, but sometimes it just looks really forced, which in turn makes it kinda sad. 1
iinii Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Cool design, but as someone else seems to imply, your avatar would make a dope tee. 1
BuffaloBillies Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 When I first saw it I thought that was a giant alien head in the back looking to the right. Even after finally realizing who each silhouette was, I struggled to like it. Sorry. 2
CSBill Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Interesting idea. my immediate response was it needs more color, unless you look real close, no immediate impression this is a Bills shirt

Middle row: John Entwistle (far left) and Pete Townshend (far right) on stage, circa 1970, with Pete about to smash a guitar. Front row: Someone getting mugged by a guy wearing a ski cap. On second thought, now I just see The Who (Keith Moon in the far back), with Roger Daltrey getting mugged by a guy wearing a ski cap. Edited October 17, 2019 by WhoTom 1 2 2
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Is that Marge Simpson in the middle as our #1 SuperFan? Maybe I am not seeing it. 10 minutes ago, WhoTom said: Back row: Marge Simpson with both hands doing the "We're #1" thing.

Gamache518 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) When you do the art work and see it the way I do, it’s not hard to recognize the image visually. The more I look at it and the comments on it, I have to agree, definitely could have been a lot better, maybe I just rushed it because of I liked the idea, I’m by no means into the Superfan stuff like some, but those fans give the Bills Character and some have great stories behind them and I thought it would be fun just to create something in regards to it. I appreciate all the feed back, negative or positive, but I will keep on working and perfecting my art. Edited October 18, 2019 by Gamache518 1

Almost hurricane-esque? Reminds me when kids draw like this. Notice the chinmey:

Parallel to roof, not perpendicular. With the flag... Just looks out place with a tail wind. But I kinda get... Don't you want the wind at your back? I thought bison was running foward, flags tend to go other way. Creates forward motion for the drawing...

But there could be an explanation.

LoL... Now I am ripping this poor guy's avatar. I mean no harm, I come in peace!

Yep, too complicated for me to grasp what I was looking at. It took......work. Nobody wants to “work” to figure out your tee shirt. I wore a tee shirt on a cruise last month, the old time red buffalo on a blue shirt with the white eye. I’m sure you’ve seen it. After hours with a group of people on an excursion my wife explained my fandom to a lady who said “oh, I just thought it was a Red Bull shirt!” I’m a bit of a Bills fan, and I found that design hard to pick up on. Just too busy, and missing the point. I’m a bit dull, hit me over the head with it a bit more! Just my two cents. . Edited October 18, 2019 by Augie
