We're talkin proud

[BillsNYC]

I was talking to a Bills fan last night who said the Bills had a slogan in the early 80's:

We're talking proud!

any validity to this?

[Dman]

Yep....and the song goes somethin' like this...ahemmm...

Buffalo's got the spirit..
talkin' proud...talkin' proud
Listen up and you'll hear it...
talkin' proud, talkin' proud

dadadadada..can't remember the rest of it...

Isn't this more of a song for the city?

It has that cheesy late 70's and early 80's sound.

It actually was for the city too. On some of the street signs downtown you'll find the old "Talkin Proud" picture. I know there's one on the Deleware Ave. sign.

[MissBuffalo]

Actually they also played the song in commercials, showing the fine scenery of the city.
