This beautifully framed piece features an original piece of watercolor artwork glass-framed in an attractive two inch wide black resin frame with a double mat. The outer dimensions of the framed piece are approximately 17” wide x 24.5” high, although the exact size will vary according to the size of the original piece of art.

At the core of the framed piece is the actual piece of original artwork as painted by the artist on textured 100% rag, water-marked watercolor paper. In many cases the original artwork has handwritten notes in pencil from the artist (be sure to “See the actual artwork without the frame” elsewhere in this website). Simply put, this is beautiful, one-of-a-kind artwork.

The outer mat is a rich textured black acid-free mat with a decorative inset white v-groove, while the inner mat is a complimentary colored acid-free mat reflecting one of the team’s primary colors. The website image of this framed piece shows the mat color that we suggest (Red), but since each piece is custom framed, we are happy to use whatever color mat you wish (depending on availability) – our standard mat colors are:

Light Blue / Dark Blue / Brown / Maroon (close to brown) / White / Silver / Gold / Yellow (bright yellow) / Green (dark green) / Orange / Purple / Red (bright red, somewhat close to PMS 186)

Beneath the artwork is a silver plate with black text describing the original artwork. The text for this piece will read:

This original, one-of-a-kind watercolor painting of the 1993 Buffalo Bills uniform is the original artwork that was used in the creation of this Buffalo Bills uniform evolution print and tens of thousands of other Buffalo Bills products that have been sold across North America. This original piece of art was painted by artist Tino Paolini for Maple Leaf Productions Ltd.

Beneath the silver plate is a 3” x 9” reproduction of a well known, best-selling print that celebrates the history of the team. The print beautifully illustrates the chronological evolution of the team’s uniform and shows you how the original art was used in the creation of this print. If you look closely, you will see that the print features the actual artwork being offered for sale. The 3” x 9” print looks like this:

The piece is framed with an extremely high quality framing glass. We have used this glass style for many years with excellent results. We package every piece very carefully in a double layer of bubble wrap and a rigid double-wall cardboard package to avoid breakage at any point during the shipping process, but if damage does occur, we will gladly repair, replace or refund. Please note that all of our products come with a 90 day 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Each framed piece also comes with a two page letter signed by Scott Sillcox describing the history behind the art. If there was an extra-special story about your piece of art, that story will be included in the letter. When you receive your framed piece, you should find the letter lightly attached to the front of the framed piece.

If you have any questions, at any time, about the actual artwork or about any of the artist’s handwritten notes on the artwork, I would love to tell you about them. Simply email me, Scott Sillcox, at scott@heritagesportsart.com and I will tell you everything I can about your original piece of art. The artists and I spent well over ten years of our lives creating these pieces of original artwork, and in many cases there are stories I can tell you about your actual piece of artwork that might add an extra element of interest in your one-of-a-kind purchase.

History

We've skipped the 1992 uniform, yet we can't skip the season. It's deja vu all over again as the Bills go 11-5, then win 3 playoffs games, including a Wild Card game vs. Houston in Buffalo that will go down as the I was there game of all time in Bills history.Part way into the 3rd quarter, the Oilers have a 35-3 lead, and it's all over but the crying.Can you say Frank Reich?Final score, Bills 41 Oilers 38. An overtime thriller to tell the grandkids about.The Bills make it to Super Bowl XXVII, but come up lame against a hungry Cowboys team. Final score? Let's just say the Bills lost.Now it's on to the 1993 season, the actual year of this jersey. We've shown a #4 on the jersey to honor the fact that the Bills have made it to the Super Bowl for the 4th time in a row. This is a white jersey with blue numbers and red trim on the front and sleeves. There are also blue stripes around the shoulders. The helmet is red with the blue buffalo logo on the side. It's identical to the 1990 jersey except for the addition of the NFL logo shield/patch - if you look closely at this jersey, you will note a small NFL shield patch on the jersey's neckline. Most NFL uniforms added the NFL logo patch to the neck and upper left thigh of the pants beginning in 1991 - an exception being in 1994 when teams occasionally wore "throwback" uniforms celebrating the NFL's 75th anniversary.There is a small sense of now or never as the Bills dedicate their season to a single goal to win the Super Bowl. By finishing 12-4, the Bills accomplish step one.By beating the Raiders 29-23 in a come from behind win at Rich Stadium, step two is in the books.Next up, the Dolphins. And in true workmanlike fashion, the Bills dismiss Joe Montana and the Chiefs 30-13 in the AFC Championship played at Rich Stadium. Step 3 completed.Fate beckons.At halftime, the Bills hold a 13-6 lead over Dallas, and victory is so close fans can actually taste it.And then the roof caves in, the Cowboys score 24 unanswered points and the Bills lose their 4th Super Bowl 30-13 played in Atlanta at Georgia Dome.But rather than dwell on the negative, let's look at it another way. Starting in 1988, Marv Levy lead the Bills to five AFC Eastern titles in six years and became the only team ever to play in four straight Super Bowls.And through it all, Bills fans have been magnificent. Playing at suburban Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, the Bills set an NFL single-season attendance record of 635,889 in 1991. And through it all, owner Ralph C. Wilson has remained as one of the oldest owners, in terms of longevity, in the entire pro football world. In 1998, civic leaders decided to honor the owner and renamed the home of the Bills, "Ralph Wilson Stadium."
