Bills rookie quarterback Cardale Jones is happy he was born later in life so he could enjoy the team logo that looks like a bill and not a cow.

For a short period from 1970-73 the Bills went with a red buffalo with a football helmet as its primary logo. The red buffalo had been with the Bills franchise longer, however, as it served as the logo on the team helmet from 1962-1973. It was good enough for O.J. Simpson's 2,000-yard season (in 14 games), but Jones is having none of it.
During Friday's rookie tour for the Bills, the youngsters were put in charge of designing a hat. The old-school logo is still used as an alternate throwback, and Jones was adamently against using it.

The Bills updated their logo in 1974 from the red standing buffalo to a blue charging buffalo. The artist's intentions are unknown, as he never told his family, but perhaps he thought it looked like a cow, too. The world may never know.
What do you think?
