I would love to see a RWJ patch on the uni sleeves this year and going forward, alla Halas. Ralph earned it.

 

Thought about this last night. I'd say you can count on it, and not just for one season. Hoping so much there isn't another memorial patch/sticker this season as well..

One memory or Mr. Wilson that I will never forget was from about 15 years ago when I was at the Ralph for a Bills game and was walking through the concession halls and I see him just walking around and saying hi to fans and shaking hands.

 

I asked him for his autograph on a Bills shirt and he said of course and then shook my hand.

 

What a great man

This kinda sums it up...

 

Funny. I saw that image several times yesterday on my phone's facebook app. On the small screen of my phone I only saw a sketched helmet and did not see that the bison shed a tear. Poignant.

yes please.

 

Maybe we could start a thread/petition for that. Make the bills do it.

Honestly, I cannot see any reason they would not do it. It would be foolish. The patriarch of the franchise, the only owner. I'm guess the FO is very aware of this almost automatic tribute teams do these days.

 

For starters it would be a huge negative on the franchise , which is certainly not Brandons style. Didn't Kraft put his wifes initials on the jerseys the year she died? Better yet have some WILSON #1 jerseys made up to sell at the stadium.

i just don't want it to be done for 1 season. I would hope its perminent. Just like the Bears jerseys.

And yes, they should retire a number for Ralph. And make a jersey out of it.

 

Maybe a "O" for the wagons or something.
