BBTV Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I really hope a Bucs thread gets started so all the talk doesn't get burried in this thread once something is actually unveiled. Anyway I think going to the practice numbers would count as a drastic change, so a font change would probably be more subtle. I guess the sleeve logos will be replaced, and probably the wordmark under the collar. Maybe they'll lose one of the outline colors from the numbers, but that wouldn't really be necessary. They're about the only team that can pull off having all those outlines.The helmet will probably have the same base color but with a chrome-red facemask and the new logo. I can't see them going to either a matte finish or a chromed-out pewter.

TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ok, I've been trying to find it, but to no avail, but remember when the guy who worked for the designing company or whatever it was was describing the new logos but the Buccs were included in that? He said of the logos, iirc "One is less caricature, one's more modern, one's what changed, and one is wtf"We always attributed it to the three teams that unveiled last off season and concluded that the Buccs would be the what changed one. Looking back, I don't think that fits. I think the poster was describing the logos like this:Less Caricature: Miami. Everyone thought it was the etf one because they were so married to the helmet wearing Dolphin, but Miami opted for less cartoony/more corporate. The modernization - Definitely Jacksonville. The old logo immediately looked outdated when the new one debuted. The what changed - Minnesota. Some people don't even know they changed their logo. So that leaves us with... The wtf. I'm not sure we're fully bracing ourselves for what's about to be unveiled Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresno St. Alum Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I was looking at the college mini helmets w/ chrome masks they cost $81 as opposed to $26. I bought my full size Packers helmet for $83. Hard to wrap my head around paying $81 for a mini, to keep my mini helmet collection, current.

LAWeaver Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Aw man, beat me to it. I was just looking for a link to post. It'll be interesting to see what they release. What they have now is good. Let's hope it's not a downgrade. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I honestly think they have one of the best logos and helmets in the league. Hopefully it's just a tweak, but it's sounding like a completely new logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 To be fair, they said "enhanced", not revised. Probably something along the lines of what Minnesota did with their Norseman logo. The "chrome grill" thing, though...still can't get past that. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The hinting poster also said that he had to doube-check to to make sure there were actual changes for the Bucs, because he saw the "new" logo and thought it was identical to the previous one, from what I remember. But it was also said that the Bucs never made the switch in that case. If the new logo really was nearly identical to the previous one, I doubt they'd have a big press conference to unveil it.

oldschoolvikings Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 As long as we're guessing...Sapp said chrome grill, not chrome helmet. Obviously he was told it was OK to give that away, so I'm guessing its only the facemask (hard to imagine how that's not gonna be ugly) and not the helmet.My guess... helmet stays pewter, add trendy/ugly mask, tweaked logo, drop the cuffs and collars, add a propietary font. There you go. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "chrome grill" thing, though...still can't get past that.And really, how can they even "enhance" their current logo? What they have now is great first of all, but second off it was designed in 1996/7. It doesn't have the same issues that other updated logos like the Cardinals, Seahawks, and Falcons had where those logos were basically originally drawn in crayon by cavemen.Nope. I don't like this.

AgentColon Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 You guys aren't thinking literal enough. The facemask isn't going to be chrome. They're bringing back bucco and his teeth(grill) is gonna be chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT. ONE. BIT.I think they can update their logo a little bit. Some of the shading techniques used look a bit outdated and kinda 90s.Not necessarily chrome but a pewter brushed metal mask could look really cool, especially on a white lid. With that being said their current helmet is just fine and i hope they don't downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
