rodneykm Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hell. No. I wear it every chance I get and even have a small Bills button that I wear on my lanyard for work. It annoys my wife because it never fails that I run into a Bills fan when we are out and about. We live in SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why someone puts themselves through the misery if they dislike it so much. you're definitely not someone who shows up with angry rants on the board. if it's not worth your time, just move on. it sure is much better than being angry about it.

BuffaloMatt Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I always waive the banner and proudly identify myself to fellow Bills fans who display their fandom by wearing Bills attire.

TheBrownBear Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've lived in LA, SF, DC, San Diego (and of course Buffalo) and I have never been embarrassed to rock my Bills gear. It's not even so much my love for the team as me wanting to rep the city of Buffalo itself. I'm proud to call myself a Buffalonian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBillsBacker Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) My job requires house calls, 10-12 a day usually. I’m not allowed to wear anything outside of my work requirements so no one really knows I’m a Bills fan. The funny part is it’s automatically assumed I’m a Saints fan. It’s annoying, but most of the time I just play along to avoid the questions of how? and why? Sometimes my customers would be like “man what’s going on with OUR Saints”, or “let’s hope OUR Saints get a win on Sunday”. It’s annoying, but I’ll respond with a simple “hopefully” to get off the subject. On the weekends though I have a Bills hat on though.

BigPappy Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Nope! Not in the least. I am proud to call myself a Bills fan. No it's not always easy to be and I sometimes take a lot of sh*t from people, but I look at the alternative and it's un-thinkable. I mean, what are you going to do if your not.....be a Patriot fan. No thanks. I'd rather drink a gallon of bleach then be a Cheatriot fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully many, many, many, many, many years into the future as it would be inappropriate burial attire for someone who died of natural causes, quietly painlessly, in my own bed. Donuts, I have little doubt that more foolish than usual, would be the fool that even attempts to pry that Bills gear from you, no matter the state of your composition at that moment--that's a "hauntable" offense in my book, hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not only embarrassed, but cowardly as well. That’s why I have a supply of other teams’ regalia so that when I travel, I can wear that instead.

longtimebillsfan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 6 hours ago, Another Fan said: So here's where I'm going with that question. I don't live in Buffalo/WNY so it's not all that common to find Bills fans/supporters by me. Every few months I might catch someone with the Bills decal on their car or someone wearing a shirt. At work last week I noticed someone wearing a Bills cap last week so I immediately went out of my way to ask if he was a fan. His first response was, "I know they are a bad team and it's embarrassing but yes". I went on to try to explain to him I was a fan myself to which he apologized. Had to go to a meeting so I couldn't shoot the breeze with him too long but just finished saying hopefully Josh puts the pieces together this year. I guess I could understand the sentiments to some extent. Being a Bills fan certainly hasn't exactly been easy I live in Las Vegas. All most every time I wear Bills gear, I have someone make a comment (positive) about the bills. Even in their worst days, I wore my bills gear. You gotta support the team. Never have I been embarrassed to show my Bills pride. If someone gives me their condolences I may make a joke, But is usually come back with a positive comment.

Bills fan in 561 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Hell to the naw and im in south Florida.Funny story thought,I once sat across for a Jets fan at a local sports bar while watching a Bills vs Jets game.The first quarter he was barking at me from across the bar with his Jets jersey and hat on.He couldn't talk enough crap about the Bills being down 10 points and how we suck.Well the football gods shone upon our Bills that Sunday and we came back to win.After the game I immediately looked across the bar to find my friend who was nowhere to be see.I found him ducking behind the crowd with a different shirt and no hat on.I walked up to him as he tried to sneak away and dont you know he went to the bathroom and stuck his hat and Jersey in his back waistband.He tried to sneek out without me noticing....I called him out in front of the whole place.Twas a great day to be a proud Bills fan...true story.

chaccof Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not embarrassed at all - in fact when I do wear Bills (or Sabre's) stuff I usually run into someone from WNY which I always enjoy. What I have learned over the years is that it's very rare that the person isn't from WNY. And when they're not from WNY its usually someone who a) grew up during the glory years or b) had a relative/father/mother from WNY.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albwan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I kind of stopped after a funny incident I had about 20 years ago. Went to get a haircut with my Flutie jersey and the idiot who cut my hair asked why I was wearing the jersey, did I play the flute. He was a Giant fan so I knew he was either making a gay joke at my expense or, as usual taking a shot at the bills. Just want to add I'm not from NY, the bills bashing is pretty bad the farther away you go from NY. Still a butt of the joke to some old timers. I rarely if ever tell anyone I'm a Bills fan. I don't want the sympathy or the nut busting. Edited March 19, 2019 by Albwan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I left Buffalo in '95, lived in Dallas for 11 years, and have been in SW Washington for the last 12 years. I always wear my Bills gear. If anyone gives me a hard time about it, I tell them I'm a hard core fan and sometimes suggest that they go eat a bag of dirty demon ***** (male reproductive organs).

Pete Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 6 hours ago, Stranded in Boston said: Hell yeah Pete! ? I've lived in Boston 34 years and always wear my Bills and Sabres gear proudly. I get a few sneers here and there from locals, but mostly Buffalo sports gear is a great way to attract fellow WNY transplants. We always stop and chat a few minutes; it drives my non-Buffalonian wife nuts! Last week we were heading out to Wegman's (we have one in Boston now -- but bummer, no Sahlen's hot dogs), and she said, "Do you really have to wear that hat?" The tide is about to turn Bills brother! New England is enjoying their run now- Brady will be 42 opening day-their days at the top are numbered. I love what Beane and company are doing now! The next 20 years are ours. He who laughs last laughs hardest. I went to school in NH, spent a lot of time in Boston, I have many friends from that area that have busted my balls since the 90's about the Bills/Pats. Our day is coming. I think you hear us knocking New England. We are going to bust the door down! And I will laugh hardest. Go Bills! and wearing Bills gear, it's great to meet fellow Bills fans in enemy territory!

ToughTasker Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I always wear my bills gear. I’m not a jersey wearing guy, but my bills hat and the occasional hoodie or t-shirt always gets attention. I travel a lot and I’ve recently had many football fans comment on how the team is positioned well for the future. I’m In So. FL right now and met a family from Hamburg this am because of my bills hat. why would you not? Most of the fun of being a fan is connecting with other fans.
