The side of the cap depicts the city skyline with Buffalo City Hall proudly displayed.

The same 'Locally-Made' logo appears on the left sleeve of the blue and white jersey. The Bisons hometown of 'Buffalo' is in blue script across the white chest of the jersey, while each blue sleeve includes a script pattern of the 716 area code as well as Buffalo's many proud nicknames; City of Good Neighbors, Queen City, Nickel City, City of Light, City of the Lakes and City of No Illusions.
