jws008 233 Posted April 9, 2020 Just a quick aside, especially after that Brady Buc logo: If Brady suddenly looks like, for example, Peyton Manning in his last year in Denver, will that be a) proof that age finally caught up with him b) further proof that the Bucs are inept or cursed, or c) both? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jojopeligreeno 299 Posted April 9, 2020 Chris Berman on NFL Primetime used to call the Bucs the pirates of pewter pants back in those earlier years of the change over from the creamsicles. It was literally the thing that made them unique. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, few defenses in history have been as good as that Broncos defense, but the Bucs defense was actually top five in efficiency last season and had, by a mile, the best rushing defense in the entire league. I want to say they may have even been the best defense in the league the last five or six weeks, but I can't find verification. They were put in a lot of bad spots by Jameis' turnovers. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FiddySicks 11,053 Posted April 9, 2020 Yeah, Brady to the Bucs seems strange on the surface, but this team is actually trending in the right direction for the first time since the Bush administration. They’ve basically been a quarterback away from having a potentially great offense for a few seasons now. I think Brady might show everyone just how miserable Jameis Winston really was. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See Red 2,006 Posted April 9, 2020 13 minutes ago, Haz_Matt said: Going to have to be tough against the run facing McCaffrey, Gurley and Kamara twice Sure, but they held McCaffrey to 110 total combined yards in their two games against Carolina last season and Gurley to 70 when they played the Rams. I'm just saying their defense is way underrated. On an unrelated note, I was really wanting to pull for the Bucs last season now that I live near Tampa but just couldn't because of Winston. Now he's gone and it just feels like it would be so bandwagon-y because they brought in Tom Brady. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know these executives are not fashion experts but if they wanted to get this look closer to the first pewter set, they could express that. I would think that Nike could accommodate. I don't believe the "we can't make this fabric" claim. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe the "we can't make this fabric" claim. Probably, and after a long fight, Nike would likely have ended up outsourcing like we saw with the teams that kept their old Ripon uniforms after the switch. I honestly have no idea what goes into making a "color", but I'd imagine that Ripon still has the formula saved somewhere, and if not, there's other makers that could be tried. Maybe Martin (if they still make that stuff.) Nike is really just paying to put their logo on things - not sure if they care if they actually make it. If anything, it's good for them to outsource, since the crap that they make tears so easily. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sport 13,808 Posted April 9, 2020 I'm old enough to remember when Nike could find a way to make put their logo on someone else's shiny pants. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
