I think it's a stupid name for a team.

And I would never be caught dead wearing Bills merchandise. The logo is dang ugly.

I think it’s Unique that we take our logo from our city name. And the team name is a cultural icon. Guys it could be something terrible like Buffalo Bullets or Buffalo Bisons!


I hate team names now, The Fire, The Blitz, the Lightning. Names like The Steelers, 49ers, Bills, Browns have a lot of character.

You guys obviously didn't grow up in a rival's city. You would think differently about the name. I was tormented as a kid.

I agree. Everyone outside of Buffalo thinks it's ******ed. I love the Bills, but they'd be much better off as the Bisons or something similar.

I like it! ... It's gotta good ring! It's better than the Florida Atlantic University Burrowing Owls, or The Holland High School Flying Dutchman, or the Hawaii Rainbows, or Monarch High School Butterflies. I'm not gonna make fun of Boniventure cause i don't know the full meaning.

P.S. All the above are true names of schools!

Following the 1946 season, in an effort to generate more fan interest and distinguish the football team from the city's minor league baseball and hockey teams, which also bore the name "Bisons," the team ran a contest to select a new name. Over 4,500 entries were submitted, and "the Bills" won over "Bullets," "Nickels" and "Blue Devils." Several contestants suggested the winning name, but James F. Dyson was named the winner of the $500 prize based on his essay comparing the team to a band of "Buffalo Bills." He wrote that, while the legendary Indian Scout William "Buffalo Bill" Cody helped trailblaze the American Frontier, the football team (owned by the president of Frontier Oil) was opening a new frontier in Buffalo sports. :up:

We didn't have a hockey team in 1946 the SABRES didn't come into the NHL until the 1970's

LET"S GO BUFFALO NICKELS! WOOOHOO!

actually i hear the Cowboys are considering changing their name. they were thinking of going with something simialr.

they've narrowed it down to the Dallas Dimes (as in dime bags) or the Dallas 8-Balls (and not the majic kind)

ok ok ..i know that was a pretty lame and outdated joke but i had to do it. i apologize.

anyway, i like the Bills. the old names have character as someone else pointed out already.

Hey, mighty, watch it. I am (or was 40+ years ago) a Holland Central High School Flying Dutchman. And then I went on to become a Syracuse Orangeman. Imagine that.
