The Real Buffalo Joe Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Personally, the charging Buffalo is one of the classic logos in the NFL. There's a reason we haven't changed it since the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan714 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Standing buffalo is horrible. Boring....Cmon its basically a standing cow.

Just in Atlanta Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 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. Â 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.

Heifers and cows are female. You are correct. I should have said domesticated cattle. Â 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.

The Dean Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I think the choices should have been: Standing Buffalo or Buffalo with a Ribbon.

That would be at least 4 feet long, considering an adult bison is about 9 feet. 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.
