In 1993 and 1994, Buffalo (which is positioned approximately 110 miles southeast of Dallas) temporarily changed its name to "Blue Star, Texas" amid Super Bowl weekend, to show support for the Dallas Cowboys (who faced the Buffalo Bills both years; blue is the color of the star on the Cowboys' helmet).
In 1999, Buffalo again briefly changed its name, this time to "Green Star, Texas", to support the Dallas Stars as they played the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup finals.
Both the Bills and the Sabres are based in Buffalo, New York.
Ironically, in 1926, when the National Football League added traveling squads to nominally represent the West (with a team nominally representing Los Angeles) and South (with a team nominally representing Louisville, Kentucky), Buffalo, New York's NFL team retitled itself the Buffalo Rangers and represented Texas in the league.
Thus, for that season, a team from Buffalo, New York nominally represented Buffalo, Texas in the NFL.
