The buffalo is a pretty accurate symbol of the US midwest, which is
what a lot of Modest Mouse songs kind of float around. This is always what
I assumed the relevance of the buffalo was.
Another could be the Heart Cooks Brain line "my brain's the cliff /
and my heart's the bitter buffalo," assuming the shirt was released after
the Lonesome Crowded West album.
Just my take.
