blacklabel Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Nope. I typically wear a Bills hat everyday. I don't have much in the way of shirts/jerseys/hoodies, etc. so hats are my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 During the season I wear it, out of season not so much cause I will usually wear something of a team that's currently playing. Right now it's more embarrassing wearing merchandise of The Pegulas other Buffalo team......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 My Bills hat got a little embarrassing once I wore it enough that it flopped around loose on my head like a kid wearing a size too big. So that one is now retired to a closet and I have a new one. But no, it's never embarrassing to rock Bills gear. I live in NYC so I interact with fans from a lot of different teams and I've gotten some flak for the Bills, but it's easy to ignore or give some ribbing right back to them. I'm thinking the guy that OP talked to meant that the team has been embarrassing for most of the last two decades. If he were actually embarrassed to wear Bills gear, then he wouldn't have worn it to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) No. Nobody should be embarrassed to wear their favorite team's gear. Funny story. Several years ago I had a Bills hoodie on and had a Pittsburgh guy call me a "bandwagon fan" after Buffalo got off to a 5-2 start. ? This isn't the 90s, there's no such thing as a bandwagon Bills fan. Edited March 20, 2019 by Chicken Boo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Wear the colors proudly. As a matter of fact - the family just spent a week at Disney World (my daughter got to perform during spring break) - between my wife and I - we wore Bills gear every day of the trip and I have to says - Bills fans are awesome. Everywhere we we went we saw others proudly wearing Bills and Sabre’s gear and I can not count the number times of Go Bills, Buffalo Rocks, and Other phrases were yelled all over. It was great - plus you immediately had an in with others talking about Free Agency and the draft and Josh Allen - you would of thought all of Western NY was there. Buffalo fans are the best! Great people and a great community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattlinBill Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I live on the west coast in Florida and it seems every time I wear any of my Bill's stuff out there is always someone shouting "Go Bills" or offering a high five.

Happy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not at all embarrassed. I typically wear my hat and jerseys during the season. I have a Bills driver head cover and golf towel which I always use; no one else has given me grief over it, and have had some good conversations with fans of other teams. I've actually met a few other Bills fans on the course and driving range due to my Bills golf swag. No such thing as a bandwagon Bills fan right now.

Dr. Fong Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I wear Bills and Sabres shirts a lot. Almost every time I’m lit in public I get some kind of comment from another fan. I live in an area where there are a lot of transplants. It’s always nice to be greeted by another fan and has led to some nice conversations.

TroutDog Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This topic should be locked as it ppears to haven been made without thought.

Success Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Absolutely not. I’m proud to be a Bills fan. Being a Pats fan is the easiest thing in the world.

Go to the Bills game....and my dad bumped into (literally) a guy he went to high school with and hadn’t seen in 50 years! I have no idea how they even recognized each other!

CodeMonkey Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I associate wearing team jerseys or t-shirts with something children would do. Game days is the exception, but just barely. Edited March 21, 2019 by CodeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I live in Quebec so very few Bills fans and still have a Bills winter coat. I'm never "ashamed", nope, but it being a WINTER coat, I often wore it as the Bills are eliminated so not the best proposition... Edit: it's more the stigma with wearing sports gear in normal life - as opposed to at sporting events - that makes me reconsider wearing it so often. Not it being Bills gear, especially as these are exciting times! Edited March 21, 2019 by Jerome007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I've always had Bills gear going back to the 90s. When they beat Miami and Cincy helped us into the playoffs in 2017 I was in Florida. I had left my ratty sunbaked Bills hat behind at home but when they won I was so elated I told my wife (who rolled her eyes), We must go to the nearest mall so I can buy and proudly show off my Bills fandom. When I got to the lids store in Orlando and asked for a Bills hat out of the 1000s they had, the guy looked at me like I was from outer space and said, we don't got none of those..:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not ashamed of my Bills gear, or challenged in ANY way.....but I have other clothes. I have a closet full of stuff, and I still wear the same 5-10% of stuff 99% of the time. Bills gear comes on game days other than my warmup. Have a couple jerseys I just ended up with, but never wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
