Standing buffalo is horrible. Boring....Cmon its basically a standing cow. I see that helmet,I think Dennis Shaw....good times...a no. Never quite understood how this franchise has ignored the Bills part of our name. Seems like we should have some cowboy type logo. We are aren't Buffalo buffalos.

This reminds me of something my brother a Cowboys fan once told me.

 

Buffalo Bill WAS a Cowboy.

Why doesn't any Buffalo team just go with Buffalo Buffalos? They get close with Bills and Bisons and Bulls. Somebody is over thinking this.

Not really because there is no such thing as a Buffalo Buffalo.

 

The logo is an American Bison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_bison

It is Not a Buffalo https://www.google.com/search?q=african+buffalo&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj4h66Aj7jWAhUE6YMKHdqkCUgQ_AUICigB&biw=1200&bih=856

 

The UB Bull is not a Bison or Buffalo. It is Cow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull

Thanks for the education. I always thought a buffalo looked like a bIson.

 

If the logo was of an American Buffalo, it would be a funky logo that's for sure.

 

If you do an internet search for Buffalo, you get pictures of both.

PS: a Bull is an uncastrated cow(male cattle to be exact) so UB Bulls mascot should/could have been called UB Nuts.

The standing buffalo is grazing and appears to have his tail literally between his legs. The charging buffalo is, well, charging. I prefer the latter.

 

If we're true to reality, this millennium should be granted the standing one until we win a playoff game.


The charging bison may be the only logo in professional sports to have obvious genitalia dipicted.

What's it doing in the middle of his body? Are we saying his...appendage...is as long as half his body? That would be at least 4 feet long, considering an adult bison is about 9 feet.

I noticed this about a year ago, and haven't look at our logo the same since.

 

 

I was going to say the Patriots*, but then I realized you meant there was a d**k ON the helmet, not IN the helmet.

Ay-oh!

I dunno about on the mainland, but here 'cow' is female...males are either bulls or steers, or I guess calves and wean offs when they're young. Heifers and cows are female.

You are correct. I should have said domesticated cattle.

 

Like many harmless misnomers citizens refer to all domesticated cattle out in a field as "cows" even though bulls and heifers and calves and steers run with them many times.

American Bison also are incorrectly refereed to as Buffalos starting almost as soon as white man arrived in N America.

And I should have said a Bull is an uncastrated male cattle.

I think the choices should have been: Standing Buffalo or Buffalo with a Ribbon. That has to be one of the worst depictions of motion I have ever seen on professional graphics. Standing Buffalo all the way, for this old guy.


I thought for sure my answer would be the standing buffalo, harking back to the glory years of the 60's, but as I look at them both, I like the charging Buffalo. Now let's get charging Bills!

 

 

I actually like your logo's buffalo, VM.

makes me happy to see the image displayed is a charolais bull.

 

but you proclaim it is a cow whilst linking a bull. jeesh.

 

better than a steer or heifer, though.

If you'd actually read the Wiki article you posted, you'd have seen this:

 

The word "bull" also denotes the males of other bovines, including bison and water buffalo as well as many other species of large animals including elephants, camels, elk, moose, and whales.

it's where the genitals are on a bull, they are about mid waist. the scrotum is tucked much further back. on a full size bull, bison or buffalo it is almost 12" between the scrotum and the penis.

 

scrotal size and the length of the sheath are important for looking at reproductive abilities of livestock

I prefer the standing buffalo on my clothes but charging buffalo for the team

Nail on the head for me. I have shirts, hats and jackets with both, but for everyday wear I am a standing Buffalo guy. Gameday is either, but often charging Buffalo jacket and shirt under jersey. Jersey is always throwback. I even rocked the OJ week 1. That was a thrift store find in the late 90's I couldn't pass up but never wore.

totally agree...I have actually been saying this for a while now...and it would actually make more sense with continuity of the color design of stripe on the helmet.
