Since this broke out into a Bucs conversation, why did they decide not to wear the white pants with new unis? I liked them for one game with each jersey. Also, on the oldies, they used to have orange numbers with red outline on the white jersey, why did they switch to red numbers with orange outline? Is it for legibility reasons?

Here's a good photo of those jerseys

It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | 🌐 Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports 🔗

I, too, loved Bucco Bruce.

From the moment I saw him on the field, I knew my heart was his. With his jaunty, feathered cap and wind-blown hair, his handlebar mustache and man-earring...I longed for him to sack me. He winked at me and I knew he was after my booty.

But he was just a pirate, a scoundrel, a player. He played me...and who knows how many other Tampa fans? He promised me he would love me forever. And then, suddenly and without a word, he was gone.

Why, Bucco Bruce? Why have you abandoned me? :down:

I wasn't a big fan of the old logo but the unis were okay--although their current ones are better.

I think I was subconsciously influenced by them when I created this Madden team for New Brunswick (using provincial flag colours to a degree)--although I know they're not exact matches...

I didn't realize any resemblance until I played a game agisnt them in a road uni...

it was more of a recoloring job, really.. i used the helmets and colors from a wonderful site on the information superhighway...www.sportslogos.net (for all your sports logo needs...and more :D ), then just made them smaller

it actually looks really good for the small amount of time i put into it, but thank you none the less :grin:

The Bucs wore Orange numbers with Red trim in their expansion year (their one season in the AFC), and then switched to Red numbers with Orange trim the next season.

I distinctly remember the TV announcers complaining about trying to read their numbers from the press box.

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

I think that the fact that they rarely wore the Florida Orange tops was an issue to me. They used the "heat factor" meaning that the opponent would use more energy by wearing their darks plus as I remember Tampa (Houlihan's) stadium, they were on the west side. In reality, as a kid in Tampa then it did not work often. After McKay retired, they usually wore orange with playing at Dallas, at Washington, and when they thought it was special. From friends in the Tampa sports medai, don't look for them to wear throwbacks unless mandated to; the Glazer family changed colors not to be associated with the Culverhouse/old Buccaneer era and really never want to wear them again.

The Buccaneers were right to change. They were losers in the creamsicle outfits. The new owners wanted a new image for the team. So the current scheme doesn't scream Florida. Oh well. It also doesn't scream tacky-70's kitchen, either.

I didn't like the old Bucs colors before I knew that they shared similatrities with the University of Tennessee. That association just makes me want to throw up just a little bit more.
