The pewter represents the best period in team history, as well as calling to the classic image of a pirate (and the modern image of a pirate, for that matter). I guess if people wanted to see it that way. Every Buccaneers fan I know equates the pewter to losing now. They haven't won since the 2003 season. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the playoffs in 2005 and 2007 as well, although that's still a big gap between then and now. I guess my point is that the Buccaneers never won in the creamsicles, and while they still don't have much in pewter they did win a Super Bowl in it. Personally I only know one or two Bucs fans that don't like pewter, and Orlando is a Buccaneer-majority city. In the end, I guess there's always going to be a split when the team has had two drastically different looks in their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winning was so long ago on the pewter it is barely remembered. The only winning that ever went on in the creamsicle was the 1979 NFC championship game and the 1982 playoffs. We are now as far away from winning in pewter as we were in the creamsicle. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now.

hormone Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What have they had, 21 years in orange? 23 years in red? 23 consecutive years in red. I’ve been there for all of them. I’ve mentioned it in this thread probably more than once. Orange is nostalgic and great for a game. It’s inferior...especially the white version with red numbers and unitard orange socks and pants. This team wears white majority of the time which compounds my issues. My fear is white-white in the current set will be worn a lot and it’s the worst looking combo. It became common place with the last set. In the SB set, it was worn at home for a few games, but usually (not always) balanced with pewter pants on the road.

The Buccaneers struck out with the bases loaded down 1 in the bottom of the ninth. More like they both hit home runs, only the Chargers ball went a little farther.

I’m not debating the charger set isn’t nice, but what I will debate is that what the bucs did and what they replaced was ten fold better than what the chargers did.

UnclearInitial Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 With the Bucs back on the front pages, just something I wanted to see. IMO it's an improvement and less less dark team with red highlights generic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claystation360 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I like the creamsicles just as much as the next person but there is no real argument. Red & Pewter have a Lombardi, creamsicle & whites definitely don't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Are teams able to wear the “traditional” white bottom socks, but instead of white, they’re a different color? Only reason I ask is because I think Tampa Bay needs red top/pewter bottom socks for the CR set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahh I live in positivity, check out my posts in the Chargers thread I just think the Buccaneers could have done much better on their uniforms. As for the Gronk thing, he is one of my least favorite players in the history of the NFL and I won't support him or the team while he is on it. I hate the new Buccaneers logo.

I hate the Cowboys, but I’ll always support Jason Witten for how great of a player he was and still is. My favorite team is the Redskins, but I never thought once to disown them because they got a bum of a player in Albert Haynesworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a fan since 79, but they don't care about winning, only selling jersey's and hot dogs at the stadium. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now.
