THE Buffalo Bills essentially replaced Steve Diggs with Keon Coleman at wide receiver. Meanwhile, a group of local artists did the exact same thing with one of their murals that had become obsolete.

They have adapted to the new era of Bills football and have done a brilliant job replacing the old with the new.

A popular mural was painted on the side of Moore Hall on the corner of Hertel and Wellington. It proudly featured quarterback Josh Allen and Diggs. The latter was wearing his No. 14 jersey in the image.

No more!

With Diggs gone, ZoomBuffalo decided to update the mural instead of covering or cleaning it. He used a brilliant reminder during Coleman’s first press conference in Buffalo.

Keon Coleman, who quickly became a fan favorite, proudly touted his shopping strategy as he debuted his winter trainer at Macy’s. His mother taught him to shop two seasons in advance to get the best prices.

Rather than erase Diggs from the mural and replace him with Coleman, the mural artists covered his jersey. They repainted the number 14 with the now famous yellow coat.

The end result looks awesome. If you didn’t know Diggs was up there before, you’d never know!

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the process:

It couldn’t be more brilliant. It’s the perfect way to welcome the team’s new passer while getting rid of Diggs without starting from scratch.

And the Macy’s jacket is way more unique than a jersey anyway. The legend has begun! I’m curious to see how many Bills Mafia members show up to a game in a yellow puffer jacket next winter.

Coleman’s personality quickly captivated the town and they welcomed him – and his business skills – with open arms!
