Official Nfl Football Appraisal

Buffalo Bills Commemorative Football

This item is a commemorative American football featuring the branding and historical achievements of the Buffalo Bills NFL team. The football is standard size and shape, constructed from what appears to be a synthetic leather material, colored off-white or cream with dark brown lacing, consistent with typical football manufacturing. The surface shows some visible wear and discoloration, suggesting it has been handled frequently or displayed for an extended period, leading to a subtle patina. Prominently displayed on one side is the Buffalo Bills logo, a blue charging buffalo with a red stripe, enclosed in a black oval border, with the words 'BUFFALO BILLS' arching above and 'ESTABLISHED 1960' below. On the opposite panel, there are vertical listings of the team's championship history, specifically 'AFL Championship' (1964, 1965), 'AFC East Division Champion' (1980, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1995), and 'AFC Champion' (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993). There is also an additional 'AFL Championship' listed from 1964 and 1965 and an 'AFC Champion' listed for 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993, reinforcing the team's historical success. A separate, smaller 'A' logo with three stars is visible towards the left end of the ball, likely representing the American Football Conference. The laces are dark, possibly brown or black, and show minor fraying or age-related softening. The overall condition suggests it is a display piece rather than a game-used or new item. The printing on the ball indicates it was manufactured to commemorate the team's history, likely produced after their last AFC championship listed (1993), making its estimated age from the mid-1990s to early 2000s. The craftsmanship is typical for a commercially produced commemorative item, with clear printing and accurate logo reproduction.
