All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

It’s a phrase that emerged organically as a reference to the fans of the NFL team in Buffalo. And it’s grown to the point at which the franchise wants to profit from it.
Via Sports Business Journal, the Bills are attempting to secure federal trademark protection for the term. They plan to sell a wide range of items bearing the name. Which means that anyone who currently is selling items with that name will eventually and inevitably be shut down, via cease-and-desist letter or otherwise.

One one hand, the team didn't create the hashtag. Someone else did. And it's sort of become this "open source" thing where no one really owns it and lots of companies make #billsmafia gear. It would be ****ty of the team to take that away from the fans just to monetize it.
On the other hand, there are a lot of people buying #billsmafia gear from other companies instead of licensed merch that earns the team money. It's almost like an end-around on their trademark.
Personally, I don't think this will go over well with most of the fan base and it's probably a bad idea that isn't work the additional money.

To be honest though, they own the "Bills" part of Bills Mafia, so there can't be any "official" Bills anything without them being involved. I'm sure the people making money from Bills Mafia can try to work with them. The "Bills" part is kind of definitive and anyone producing the gear has to have been aware of it when they started making money from it.
Other people are monetizing them.

True... and frankly I'm not sure i'd want to get on the wrong side of the "Mafia" folks either on this issue.
I also thought they came to some kind of financial agreement with those that claimed to start/"own" 'Bills Mafia' so they basically bought the rights to the name.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

I recall that they did and the guy that started it (Del Reid) was excited about it. Personally I never really cared for it and just accept it.
