For the first two seasons of the Bills existence, the team’s colors were Honolulu blue, silver, and white, the same colors as the Detroit Lions. Bills owner Ralph Wilson had been a minority owner of the Lions, and rumor has it the team’s jerseys those two seasons were actually hand-me-downs from the Lions.
The Bills changed their colors to the classic red, white, and blue. They wore royal blue jerseys at home and white jerseys on the road. Red stripes were added to the helmet and jerseys, and the team also introduced the red standing Buffalo at this time.
