Bills Alternate Logo

The Buffalo Bills have had an exciting logo history, with several designs over the years. The team’s original logo was a charging buffalo, which made its debut in 1960 when the team first joined the American Football League (AFL). This design remained until 1973 and featured a red-brown bison wearing a blue football helmet.

In 1974, the Bills changed their primary logo to feature an updated version of their original bison head facing forward instead of sideways. This new look included two white horns on either side of his head, and he wore no helmet this time. In 1983, they decided to update it again by adding shading to make him appear more realistic and minor changes, such as giving him longer horns that curved slightly inward at each end.

Finally, in 2016, after 52 years with variations on their classic “charging buffalo” motif, they unveiled yet another change for their alternate logos – introducing two separate versions featuring either one or three buffaloes depending upon how much space is available for them on jerseys and other merchandise items respectively. Both versions are outlined in navy blue, filled with royal blue coloring, and white accents are used throughout both designs, including eyes, nose, etc. This latest variation appears to be sticking around for quite some time, given how popular it has become among fans since its introduction just four short years ago!
