Bills tweak their look and win their first AFL Championship,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The elusive jerseys that have evaded mega-collector Greg Tranter over the last 30 years of his Buffalo Bills memorabilia collecting obsession,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
For the '64 jerseys, the shoulder striping slid down to the bottom of the sleeves on both the road and home jerseys. They would only survive for one season before being changed once again in '65.
But that '64 season was magical for the Bills. Led by a star-studded offense of Kemp, Hall of Famer Billy Shaw,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ernie Warlick,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Elbert Dubenion and Cookie Gilchrist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Bills won their first nine games along their way to an 11-2 start. The only thing standing in their way to the AFL Championship Game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would be the Boston Patriots.
In a snowy War Memorial Stadium on the final week of the season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Bills took care of the Pats 24-14 to win the AFL Eastern Division title,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finishing the year at 12-2.
The Bills would need a strong defense for their AFL Championship clash with the San Diego Chargers and their dynamic rushing attack led by Keith Lincoln,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In '64,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the offense grabbed all of the headlines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Bills boasted First-Team AFL All-Pros Tom Sestak, George Saimes and Mike Stratton on defense. The Bills shut down the Chargers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], claiming the first AFL title in team history with a 20-7 win over San Diego in front of a standing-room only crowd at The Rock Pile.
1965 would lead to bigger and better things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including yet another uniform change. Except, the change in '65 would stick until the final days at War Memorial Stadium.
A Special Thanks the to The Buffalo Erie County Historical Society and Greg Tranter, founder of the Fandemoneum Museum project,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for their help. Check out their sites, and feel free to donate to Tranter's vision of a downtown Buffalo Sports Museum.
