2,200 NYC Bills Fans!

I just wanted to piggyback on the earlier email we sent out. The NJ Jets have just opened group sales tickets to us, the link is below. 

Please note, the game is on the verge of selling out so the tickets they could offer us are extremely limited. This is on a first come, first served basis so if you want tickets, order them as soon as you get this email. Once they are sold out, they will not be adding more. 

May the odds be ever in your favor: We’ll have more details regarding the game as we get closer to September.

GO BILLS!

What’s up NYCBBB?!

Are you excited for the season yet? It’s hard to believe it’s already July and our Bills take the field for pre-season football in just a few short weeks! And this year our regular season opens against the New York Jets (and some guy they picked up in free agency, haven’t heard of him…) on Monday Night Football at the Meadowlands! It’s going to be such an exciting start to what will hopefully be a very memorable season, and we’re excited to share every moment with you!

Which brings us to the reason we’re writing you. Our Bills Backers chapter has been operating for over 20 years, and while we love our original logo we also think it’s time to mix things up. That’s where you come in! We’re accepting submissions for a new NYC Bills Backers logo! This logo will be featured on all of our socials, our website, and on new merchandise that will be sold this season to benefit Brian Moorman’s PUNT Foundation which serves families navigating pediatric cancer. If you submit the winning design, you will receive a free bracelet for unlimited food and drinks at Penn 6 ALL SEASON LONG. I mean, come on. That’s a LOT of wings and Labbatt Blue.

We will pick the top three designs and put them to a vote on Instagram to select our winner. All designs must include:

• “New York City Bills Backers”, in some capacity
• Be recognizably New York
• “Est. 2002”

We have some more exciting announcements coming your way soon, especially around planned activities for Week 1, so be sure to follow us on social media and keep an eye out for more emails from us.

The rest is up to you! Please submit your design to staff@nycbbb.com by Friday, July 21st, then keep an eye out for the online vote on our Instagram stories (@nycbillsbackers) the following week!

LETS GO BUFFALO!

-The New York City Bills Backers

Hey NYCBBB,

Well. How are we doing? What a week. A week that started in an unimaginably horrific way and has ended with the kind of joy and relief that 72 hours ago we were nervous to even hope for. Damar Hamlin, after collapsing and suffering cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football, has made remarkable progress towards recovery and the Bills, the city of Buffalo, and all of Bills Mafia can breathe again knowing that he will be okay, though we know he still has a long road ahead of him. With our team 12-3 and atop the AFC East we have certainly had plenty of highs this year, but there is no denying the heart wrenching lows that this team and our fanbase have had to endure, with this week being especially hard. But I can’t help but think back on the famous poem that coach Marv Levy quoted to his Bills team following the heartbreaking loss of Super Bowl XXV:

“’Fight on my men’, Sir Andrew said. ‘I am hurt, but I am not slain. I’ll lay me down and bleed a while, and then I’ll rise and fight again.’”

If there is any team that can, in fact, rise and fight again, it is OUR Buffalo Bills. With the energy gained by the amazing news out of Cincinnati and the encouragement of #3 and his family to charge forward and work towards the ultimate goal that this team has set for itself, Josh Allen and the Bills will return home to Orchard Park for what will surely be an emotionally charged game against the New England Patriots. Speaking personally, I cannot wait to be with all of you at Penn 6 this Sunday. Football is family, and in our darkest moments it is so healing to be together and proclaim loudly and proudly how the Bills make us wanna SHOUT!

In honor and support of Damar Hamlin and his family, we will have a couple of special things happening at Penn 6 this weekend! Our weekly fundraiser will be a 50/50 on Sunday, with half of the money raised going directly to Damar’s Chasing M’s Go Fund Me, as well as collecting donations to add to the total. The bar will also be offering a “3 for $33” appetizer special off the game menu (with a couple restrictions), so be sure to bring your cash and your appetite!

Reservations are being taken by email as usual for tables, (email buffalobillspenn6nyc@table95.com) and for standing room at the bar you don’t need a reservation, but we recommend arriving early. This will truly be a celebration to remember.

Looking forward to seeing you Sunday. GO BILLS!

The NYC Bills Backers
