If you were in charge of altering or redesigning the Bills logo, what would you do?

Wasn't it silver and blue?

 

Here's the original Buffalo Bills:

To the posters who say "Bills" is just a weird team name: you have a point. I've encountered quite a few people (almost all women; almost) over the years who are mystified by the name. Think about it. There's not really any American sports team nickname that's similar. Name of a city, with the city name serving as an adjective for a person. We had an era of weird names in the 70s - the old WFL (which nobody remembers) had the "Chicago Fire" and such. We currently have teams with place names as adjectives - think "Colorado Rockies." But Buffalo Bills? Why? Why didn't we ever have a logo that featured Buffalo Bill Cody in a kind of swashbuckling, Tampa Bay Bucs style? After all, the team was named in pre-PC days when a gunslinging Bill Cody on a horse would've been just fine. And why then is the logo the Buffalo, the prey and not the predator? No wonder we're 58 games under .500 in franchise history. Then again, "Buffalo" is supposed to be a corruption of "Belle Fleuve" ("Beautiful River"). I vote that we change the city's name first. The Belle Fleuve Falls would work for the football team. Logo of Niagara Falls or a casino or something.

Otherwise, just give the team bus a pair of those truck nutz to make Jauronimo happy.
