This is a logo used by the Buffalo Bills in their inaugural season in the old American Football League in 1960. It seems appropriate to feature with the recent passing of the team’s original and only owner, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Wilson originally wanted to place his AFL franchise in Miami, but couldn’t get a lease deal in place to use the Orange Bowl, so he settled on Buffalo. The first Bills’ team wore blue and silver uniforms modeled after Wilson’s hometown team, the Detroit Lions, but switched to blue and red with the standing red buffalo helmet logo for season two. Two defensive players on that original team, Jim Wagstaff and Richie McCabe, would go on to become assistant coaches for future Bills’ teams.
