Now that the Bills are the “home team” for all of Wyoming what should we do to embrace these new fans?

We definitely need to incorporate Buffalo Bill, because our branding makes no sense right now. It completely ignores our team name and focuses only on the city.

Buffalo Bill fought in the Indian wars, and scalped an Indian chief

 

They're not touching any association with Buffalo Bill anymore

But he spoke of them in great respect according to his travelling show. 😅

 

Makes his 8-hour buffalo hunting challenge with Bill Comstock seem like he grazed someone's shoulder in a manner they didn't approve of these days.

I'm glad that Josh is attracting more people to be Buffalo Bills fans, but as a former Colorado State Ram, I have zero desire in making a connection between the Buffalo Bills and my main university rival. (Wyoming.)

When did we ever do this for another player or college?  Were we huge Miami fans when Jimbo was out QB?  Hell no.

 

Wyoming fans have always been Denver Bronco fans, because it's a Rocky Mountain regional thing.  I'm sure they'll root for Josh, but they're Bronco supporters, at their core.

 

Let's go Buffalo and Let's go CSU Rams!

Listen I'm totally against cancel culture

 

But if the name Cleveland Indians has to be changed, and Washington Redskins... 

 

Bill Cody actually scalped a native American... There's no reason he won't be deemed offensive to PC people because of his actions

Alternate brown and yellow unis would be lit! A bucking buffalo logo and helmet decal to go with it.

the san diego padres switch between their old school brown and mustard yellow to camo to blue and gray and white etc. Meh I dunno, having that drastic a color change for a uniform when it relates to just 1 player thats a bit much... maybe a commemorative helmet decal for a special game? I dunno.

I'm not disagreeing with you.  I know that it would get a lot of negative feedback quickly.  Especially being located where the Bills are located.

 

Which is why just leaving it at as a Buffalo is the smart move.

Absolutely. I don't think Bill Cody has been a part of the bills for a long time

 

The bison is absolutely our symbol

Surprised no one has said buy Wyoming hoodies yet

[WyoAZBillfan]

I’m from Wyoming, been a Bills fan since Kelly finally joined to the team. Wyoming absolutely roots for Josh and the team, until they play the Broncos. Majority of folks (as previously stated) are Denver fans still from what I’ve seen. Either way, more people cheering for the Bills is awesome and been much easier to find apparel.

   I like tossing cow pies!

 I won a cow pie tossing contest at a charity square dance in Sonoma, got a nice dinner for 2. I just threw it like a frisbee. 

Perhaps they awarded you a plaque for the wall in your den?  Do your kids inquire about it??

The NFL celebrates our military (rightfully so, IMO) who are responsible for millions of deaths over the years.

Again cancel culture people, absolutely will not see a difference between things that happened in wartime or peace

 

If they heard he scalped a native American Indian chief he would be next on The chopping block 

 

There Is not a doubt in my mind they would come after him next 

 

And I'm as pro military as you can get.. this is just what would happen

Most likely you are correct.

I'd argue that you're devaluing the character of the American West, and our ever diminishing rural landscapes. 

 

Cities aren't inherently superior. 

 

(And I know you're a nice fella as well. We've both been here for a decent chunk of time.)

When Josh introduces himself with, "Josh Allen, Wyoming, Go Pokes", that's more than enough for me.

I was just making a joke, hence the 'lol' at the end of my comment.  My step daughters fiance is from Wyoming and is therefore a Josh Allen/Bills fan now. He's a great guy, I'm sure there are more like him there.
