Now. I’ve always hated the Buffalo Bisons logo… so, I was pleased to learn today that as a result of the team’s partnership with the New York Mets they got a snazzy new logo.

The Buffalo Bisons are pleased to present for the first time an exciting new primary team logo, created by Phoenix Design Works, that depicts a bison charging from the Buffalo skyline. This new logo pays tribute to the team’s long-standing tradition and its strong relationship with the city.

By adopting a blue and orange color scheme, the Bisons also wanted to celebrate their new partnership with the New York Mets.

“We are thrilled to usher in a new era in Buffalo Bisons history with an exciting new logo for our fans to enjoy,” said Mike Buczkowski, Vice President/General Manger of the Buffalo Bisons. “With our team’s celebrated tradition in this great city and our new major league partnership with the New York Mets, we wanted our new logo design to take an old-fashion feel and give it a modern-looking twist.”

This is the first logo change for the Bisons since adopting the “sliding Buster” red and green design in 1998 to correlate with the team’s return to the International League.

Here they are… old and new… 

Huge improvement.

I’m sure by now you’ve all heard that Fredonia native Jenn Stuczynski won a silver medal today in the pole vault.

“To go to your first Olymipcs and get a medal, a silver medal nonetheless, it’s great,” Stuczynski said at a post-event news conference. “I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

Stuczynski guaranteed she could finish no lower than second when she cleared 4.80 meters (15-9). Svetlana Feofanova and Yulia Golubchikova, the only other threats she faced for a medal, failed in three attempts at that height.

Congrats to Jenn Stuczynski!
