An alternate team logo used by the Buffalo Bills from 1965 until 1969. No player was given jersey # 31 when this logo was in use, as the player on the logo wearing the number was not meant to represent any specific player, but the “spirit of the team” according to team management. The tradition was broken in 1969 when backup running back Preston Ridlehuber was temporarily issued the number (for one game) while his usual #36 jersey was being repaired. Cornerback J.D. Williams wore the number in the 1990s, and it is currently worn by the team’s promising young safety, Jairus Byrd.
