Tony P Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Have you ever tried to buy a Bills flag (charging Buffalo logo) where the Buffalo is facing forward? It seems that on all the flags I can find, the Buffalo is facing backwards when the wind is blowing. I find this really strange. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Put a couple grommets in the other end of the flag if you want to flip it? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Your point is valid, but I don’t think the children in the sweatshops know/care which way the Buffalo is supposed to face. 5 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But part of my point is that it should be facing the other way in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP, just to be clear, you’re looking for one where the buffalo is headed into the flagpole? That would be like putting in a newspaper photo (I did copy editor / layout focus in j-school) or a FB picture that looks toward the left — off the page — and that just isn’t done as it looks extremely odd for visual flow. … In this case, it would be that the buffalo is free to run to the right, rather than the flagpole blocking its way. … It’s almost akin to asking / wanting the US flag to have the blue field of stars on the top outer edge when facing right; a lot of people are sometimes confused when they see the flag 🇺🇸 inverted horizontally on police / military uniforms when that badge is on the right shoulder, but it’s because the field of stars are always supposed to lead the way. As Simon suggested, if it bothers you that much, grab a grommet set. 🤷🏻♂️ Edited April 17, 2022 by UConn James 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well you could look at it as the Buffalo is running into the wind just like when Diggs or Davis are running to make a TD . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider the photo you attached to be the "correct" way to do it. The bison is charging with the wind. It would look "backward" to me if he was heading the opposite way, charging toward the flag pole. I would imagine this is why all the flags out there are designed this way--it's the way that makes sense! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh....Oxford Pennant in downtown Buffalo makes Bills Flags, Banners etc. The employees even had a non game day event at the stadium last fall to commemorate those items. No sweat shop, they are a good employers. I think maybe about 50 folks. I have a relative who works there so I am aware. I don't think they have a company storefront however, but I could be wrong on that. They are right downtown! (I know, who knew!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
