    History

    Buffalo Bills was established as a football club back in the year 1959 on 28 October. They officially started playing in the American Football League in 1960 and were led by Buster Ramsey, the head coach. The club was later ruled by coach Lou Saban when they won two consecutive American Football League championships in 1964 and 1965. The club has not won a title ever since.

    Buffalo Bills

    The club’s history was not that impressive during the 1970s, and the club was struggling to maintain a good record. They lost four Super Bowls and were almost failing as a club. Still, they regained hope when players like Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Bruce Smith, and Darryl Talley helped the Buffalo Bills win four consecutive American Football Conference (AFC) Championships.

    The team could not enter the play-offs for 17 years, making it the longest playoff drought in all significant sports history during that time. It came to an end when they secured a place on 31 December 2017. The club’s ownership then got transferred from the team founder and American businessman, Ralph Wilson, to the billionaire business couple, Terry and Kim Pegula, on 8 October 2014.

     

    Name Origin, Logo and the Uniform

    The Buffalo Bills got renamed from the club’s former name, ‘AAFC Bisons.’ It was supported and owned by the Frontier Oil Company’s James Breuil. The original name was replaced by the Buffalo Bills when it won the contest to rename the club. The winning contestant explained the term as a combination of the famous western frontiersman, Buffalo Bill Cody, and the fact that the Frontier Oil Company supported it. The competition made the name Buffalo Bills official, and the club has been carrying that name ever since.

    The Buffalo Bills’ original logo featured an all-red standing bison, their official logo from 1962 to 1974 when it was changed and redesigned by aerospace designer Stevens Wright. He introduced a blue charging bison, which had a red slanting stripe originating from its horns. This design has been the official logo of the Buffalo Bills ever since.

    The official jersey of the Buffalo Bills got produced by the sporting giant Nike in the year 2012. The club’s primary colors represent a blue shirt with red and white stripes around the sleeves with white pants with stripes down the side. The club also has a white jersey with red and white stripes around the sleeves blue pants with stripes down the sides. The club’s alternate jersey is an all-red jersey with lines around the sleeves and down the pants’ sides. The helmet features a blue charging bison logo of the Buffalo Bills on a white background.
