But theyre missing the red stripe (or blue) Too me that really makes our logo great. We have the best logo in the nfl. I really like the gray facemasks. But navy blue would look sharp too.

I think most people outside the area do not understand the name. However, if you needed to keep it, I would totally have a Western theme character riding a charging Buffalo! You could also keep the name "Bills" and go with a money sign logo/theme! $$$$$$$weet! lol I think everyone knows who Buffalo Bill was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 IMO the charging buffalo is now a dated piece of graphic design, but not in a good way so as to become an old classic. The classic logo is the standing buffalo. Sports logos were much better across the board many years ago. Much of the new stuff is more suited to corporate letterhead stuff. As others have said, just go back to the standing buffalo and leave it that way forever. The older it gets the better it will get, kind of like the Blackhawks sweaters in hockey or the Yankee pinstripes/logo, as much as I hate the Yankees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cripple Creek Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 7 hours ago, Drunken Pygmy Goat said: First, let me just say that I think most Bills fans love the current charging bison logo, and don't want to change it. I'm not advocating for that to happen. This is just for fun; a break from the draft/post draft talk. Just for the purpose of this thread, let's say that the Bills are planning to change the logo from it's current look, and you're in charge. You're the artist. Would you propose a completely different logo? What would it look like? Or would you simply alter or redefine the current logo, similar to what the Lions have done a couple of times over the last 10 years? If you're able to take the time to actually "draw" up some suggestions, and are savvy enough, post pics. If not, throw out some suggestions. I'll tinker around a bit with some ideas once I get some free time after work. I’d leave it the !@#$ alone & the absolute last thing I’d do is ask a Pygmy goat for input.

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I'm not asking if the Bills should change anything... I don't want them to. The idea is to pretend that you're in charge of altering or redesigning a Bills logo, per request of ownership. Use your imagination and get creative. Not "don't change it", or "standing buffalo (<bison)". Edited May 2, 2018 by Drunken Pygmy Goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Standing buffalo for sure. Every team has the angry animal logo it's lame. Not that I dislike our logo but those retro unis are my favorite.

The Red King Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 22 minutes ago, MtlBillsFan said: Needs some work but halfway there. Ironically... I actually don't like the old red standing buffalo helmet. It seems quite bland and monotone, far from dynamic. I know you're getting ready to blast me because I'm a 44-year old punk that grew up with the newer logo...but! My father, who attended games in the old rockpile hated that logo. Every time he saw it, he'd refer to it as "...the standing Buffalo! You know! The one that looks like a cow is standing in a meadow taking a dump!" I'm...less hostile toward it. I agree with many posters. I actually love what we've got right now. Favorite uni combo to date. However, the OP made it clear this thread was not about whether or not we should change the unis, rather if we did change them...what should we change it to. In the spirit of that topic, I have an idea, and will start poking around online and with Gimp, to see if I can't make a mock-up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
