Bad Luck Bills Merchandise?

I found an old Bills drinking glass that I got at a Mobil gas station way back in early 80's some time.  Haven't seen it in decades.  

Pulled it out and washed it, used it for beverages during the Jets game.   Boom !  Back on the shelf and won't be used the rest of the season !

I have this Thurman 34 jersey Ive worn since 90's.  That jersey lost 4 superbowls, music city miracle, and 13 seconds.   It is a beautiful, well worn jersey- but bad luck.

This year I have Milano and Poyer jerseys.  maybe I should stop buying jerseys

I remember those!  Cheap glassware, most of ours broke just from gentle hand washing.

For decades the only Bills clothing I'd owned was a sleeveless athletic shirt with a smalls Bills logo on it. I hardly ever wear it but I was hot after a pregame hike and  threw it on when I got home at the beginning of the game last Sunday. It will not see daylight again this year.

My wife did get me a plain white tshirt with Josh Allen's potato logo on it about a month ago so now I have that.

I haven't had the stones to wear it during a game yet. :ph34r:

How funny - I have the exact same glass sitting in our cupboard and during the season I never use it....last week I used it.....I knew it was my fault, I just knew it.... and my wife says I can't influence the game.....

Maybe you should buy a Mahomes jersey.

You mean the ones with the lead paint on the side that they told everyone to destroy 30 years ago? Or the second edition they did after that without the lead paint? The lead ones have a white background, the non lead don't.

This is where I am at. Tre last year. Poyer this year for me. 
 

Then I have a closet full of jerseys of players who never signed a second contract in Buffalo.

Burn. It. All.

 

Last Saturday I picked up a large woman from Tinder. Found out pretty late she had arm pit hair. More than me actually, some kind of "razor companies put out propaganda about women shaving".

 

I was extremely unenthused about the situation.

 

However, she bought me chicken wings. I apologize for my contributions of bad luck. Def won't do that again till post Super Bowl.

 

Hug your wives close tonight 😆

HA! smh yeah well I decided for some STUPID reason to wear my #12 Home jersey which had been my go-to for years last weekend. I hadn't worn it in ages. 

 

Yeah I wore it. Yeah it is now cursed to me. Back into my closet you go. 

 

I will not wear it again until after the Bills win a super bowl .  It;s comfy though. 90's relic.

It's this type of madness that started religions. If you really like the glass, just keep keep drinking out of it until they are on a win streak, then you can associate their wins; not to their skill as a team, but to the true champion, your Mobil gas station drinking glass...

Take it easy.

Jets game I wore a Benford jersey for first time.  Watch out Christian.  I will have to be careful which game I wear that for

My "Bills Run the East" division Champs shirt from last season. I wore it for both the Dolphins and Jets games this season ... safe to say it's retired. 

I love that shirt and wear it all over New England.  Luckily I have yet to wear it for a game, so it’s still safe to wear I think 

 

My old job, my coworker’s grandparents were from Buffalo.  They passed away years ago.

My friend brought me a box of Bills glasses, flags, and other Bills trinkets from his grandparents

I found a Bills fan towel in the hall closet a couple weeks ago that I got as a handout at a game about 15 years ago during a stretch where I went to 9 games and they lost 6.  Incredibly 3 of those losses on the last play of the game!  Put the blue towel out in the TV room after the bye.  But after reading this tread last night, the first thing I did this morning was put it back in the closet.  Bills win on Sunday against the Vikings now 100% certainty.

I have an old red Bills mini helmet with the standing white buffalo sitting on a self above my coach and every so often it just falls onto my lap.😖 

It's God's way of trying to tell you to lead a movement bringing the "standing bison" logo BACK and on the sides of our helmets.

lmao. I'm not a superstitious guy at all but I have recently noticed that we lose when I'm not wearing a bills jersey watching. It's gotten to a point lately where I'm wearing it alone watching...lol. I wasn't in it last sunday vs NY, will most certainly be in it this weekend.
