The Buffalo Bills have seamlessly transitioned from Stefon Diggs to Keon Coleman at wide receiver, mirroring a local artistic transformation. In a nod to the evolving era of Bills football, a mural previously showcasing Diggs alongside quarterback Josh Allen underwent a remarkable update.
Originally adorning the side of Moore Room at Hertel and Wellington, the mural depicted Diggs in his iconic No. 14 jersey. However, with Diggs’ departure, ZoomBuffalo, the creative mind behind the artwork, saw an opportunity for innovation rather than obsolescence.
Drawing inspiration from Coleman’s arrival and his memorable debut press conference in Buffalo, the mural underwent a striking transformation. Instead of removing Diggs entirely, the artists ingeniously incorporated Coleman’s distinctive style. Evoking Coleman’s anecdote about his savvy shopping tactics, where he proudly showcased a winter coat from Macy’s bought in advance, the mural now features a bold yellow coat over Diggs’ jersey number.
This imaginative adaptation not only preserves the essence of the original artwork but also celebrates the exciting new chapter in Bills football with Keon Coleman’s emergence as a beloved figure among fans.

Take a sneak peek behind the curtain into the master plan:
What a stroke of genius! This strategy not only introduces the team’s latest receiver seamlessly but also bids farewell to Diggs without missing a beat.
And let’s be real, that Macy’s jacket? It’s a statement piece, far more distinctive than any old jersey. The hype train has officially left the station! I wonder how many die-hard Bills fans will be rocking a bold yellow puffer jacket at the next frosty game.
Coleman’s charm has already won over the city, and they’re wholeheartedly embracing him — along with his impeccable shopping prowess!
