That’s a direct ripoff and just straight up lazy.  I believe that Del Reid sold the trademark to the Bills.  How funny would it be to see the Bills send the Steelers fan club a cease and desist letter 😃 

Del Reid  never had a trademark to sell because he couldn’t apply for one.   The rights to “Bills” word belongs to the Pegulas so he woud have had trouble getting a trademark for himself for the phrase “Bills Mafia”

Didn’t something happen where Del gave the Bills permission to use “Bills Mafia” on merchandise?  Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of

At best,  the Bills  told him as an fyi that they were applying for the trademark and gave him some token representation for plans for its use.

Thanks! I wonder why I was under that impression. 

Because it's one of those partnerships where one party shows up with a cease and desist in hand and says "You want to partner with us right?"

It's not who did it first: it's who did/does it best.

If another team took over the stupid “Mafia” moniker, I’d be all for it. 
 

Go ahead and smash that thumbs down reaction; but “Bills Mafia” makes me cringe.
