Rebel101 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Teams all have nicknames on their hats some refer to their fans such as the seahawks. I would much rather ours said Bills Mafia then Billieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The Pegula's don't strike me as the types that want a bunch of fans running around in "Mafia" hats. Especially when they're breaking tables, lighting themselves on fire and breaking bones. The real question should be who at New Era is designing such ugly-ass hats? Those 3D logos and letters gots to go... 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I’d jump through a burning table for a hat that read “Bills Mafia”. Just now, Buffalo716 said: I Billieve Baby!

Yeah, this year’s hat was very childish. I can see why the Pegula don’t actively promote “Bills Mafia” . It’s not officially a slogan of the team and it’s popularity runs with younger crowds alot of 60+ people don’t like the mafia association... it’s a newer term also first used by like nick Barnett when he arrived via FA its not 30+ years old with a lot of tradition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I wouldn't buy one.... HOWEVER, most successful companies don't make things that don't sell. If this "branding" doesn't sell, then they won't do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Honestly, I didn't even notice the draft day hats as it was happening but seeing them today I am filled with rage. Not regular, rap music offends me and kids are skateboarding on the sidewalks rage, but someone just cut me off today on I-10 and my big mac doesn't look like the commercial, visceral f@#$ing rage!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather ours said Bills Mafia then Billieve I think from a marketing point of view the word mafia has way to many negative connotations. Then add in all those bizzare completely idiotic tailgating stunts / drunkenness that is applied to it,. I can safely say Mafia will never ever show up on official NFL or Buffalo Bills merchandise or be used in any official matter by either entity 10 minutes ago, xsoldier54 said: So you're mad at a hat.
