ORCHARD PARK, NY (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills clinched their record fifth consecutive AFC East title after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 35-10 on Sunday Night Football.
Now Bills fans are lining up for new AFC East Champion apparel.
Monday afternoon fans were shouting “Let's go Buffalo! Let's go Bills!” outside of The Bills Store at Highmark Stadium.
“I was probably the fifth in line, and I can't wait to wear it to work today. It's a great asset to my wardrobe. Five in a row. I’ve collected all of them, and it's a great way to start victory Monday,” said Kimberly Kaliszewski.
"What were you buying in there today?” I asked.
“My son, he put in his order this morning. He goes to school in Shreveport, Louisiana and he wanted one of these,” Lenny Forth said.
"My husband's birthday's tomorrow so I had to come get him the AFC East hat,” Tina Knop said.
While many people are buying new Bills items, others are searching for a vintage look.
"Our specialty is 1990's era, you know our Super Bowl era,” explained Vincent Spano who owns My Cuzin Vintage on Elmwood Avenue.
The store is in Allentown and features plenty of vintage Bills gear.
“Honestly, I like the era that I was a part of growing up – that would be 1990. Jim Kelly, Thurman, met Thurman. That's pretty much what I zone in on when I shop for the Bills stuff,” Joshua Kent said.
"They'll see something that reminds them of, you know, when Kelly was here and it's something that's been worn and passed down and it has a history and story behind it,” Spano explained.
The vintage shop includes items from those four Super Bowl years, which Spano said gives us all hope.
"We've shown we can do it. We've been there before and now with Josh, I'm more confident than ever,” Spano said.
“But this time they have to win for me. Come on Josh, you've got to win for me! Please,” begged Liza Belle.
“I’m hoping this is the year. This has got to be the year,” Knop noted.
Fans said this could be the year the Bills head back to the Super Bowl.
“Ralph, this is our year. This is our year. We're bringing it, we're bringing it Ralphie,” Kaliszewski stated as she hugged the statue of Wilson outside Highmark Stadium.
