The Buffalo Bills are looking to honor their late owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr., who passed away earlier this year. The Bills will wear a patch on their uniforms to honor him with his initials, RCW. It is a simple patch, a white oval with a blue line around the edge and red lettering.

The Bills released the following statement from Mary Wilson at his memorial service, from Mike Rodak of ESPN NFL Nation:

"“I want to take this opportunity to thank Bills fans and people everywhere for their tremendous outpouring of love for Ralph. Their heartfelt condolences and warm wishes have truly been a comfort for me, Ralph’s daughters Christy and Dee Dee, Mary Owen and the entire Wilson family during this difficult time.”"
