Cujo Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Not to sound like a hater or nothin'... but those uniforms looked like back then, and they still look like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I know this could be a lighting issue, but I want to say the helmet stripe looks right and the jersey and facemask look a bit pale.Still looks great, though.

CrookedThumb Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Meh...they're alright. But the orange is a bit too pale for me. I would've prefered them using the dark orange jerseys from the late 70's or the bright, metallic-looking ones (at least that's how I'd describe them) from the 90s.

seahawk9 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Beautiful........Exactly what I thought. They even talked about how the orange became darker AFTER the 76 year and wanted to bring back the original orange from 1976. Its a light yellow-orange color. Lighter than the orange they had during the Doug Williams, Ricky Bell era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've prefered them using the dark orange jerseys from the late 70's or the bright, metallic-looking ones (at least that's how I'd describe them) from the 90s.The guy doing the intro said they went to extraordinary lengths to get the exact look of the original 1976 jerseys. Maybe the mismatching stripe on the helmet vs. the jersey was just a defect from '76 they deliberately replicated.I do notice the facemask color matches the jersey spot on, though.

Throwback to the Doug Williams days when the team wasn't half-bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahawk9 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The facemasks and jerseys WERE that pale. I think that's why they darken the orange in later years. As a kid I loved that shade of orange from 76 but they never worn them. I specificlly wrote a letter to the team back then to ask why they never wore the orange jerseys, They replyed that fans setting high in the stands could not see the numbers clearly so they "redesigned" the jerseys but they did not say exactly "how" they redesigned them. My guess is they did intentionly darken the orange slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahawk9 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If you looked closely at the helmet logo, they even got the white collar slash correct. That was not on the logo in later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I did not realize they were this pale early on. I'd have preferred to see the early 1990s version, but this is nice too.

tBBP Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm glad they went to great lengths to get the jerseys right. Facemask, even.But where in the hell did those sock stripes come from?

FiddySicks Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Absolutely beautiful. I'll for sure be picking up more than one of these, so happy the day has finally cme where the Glazers decidedto actually acknowledge the past.But I swear if any serious consideration comes from the garbage "Dey shuld bring deez bak full tyme!!1!Eleven!!" talk that always comes with thowbacks, I don't think my manhood will allow me to continue being a Bucs Fan.

The_Admiral Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Well, these are pretty awful, but as a Bears fan, I hope they play significantly better than the second-worst team in the history of football when they wear these against the Packers. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival79 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Bucco Bruce returns as Buccaneers introduce throwback unisBy Daniel WallaceJuly 31, 2009They're back.The Buccaneers unveiled the result of a painstaking process of replicating their vintage orange, white and red uniforms when they showcased their throwbacks this morning at One Buc Place. Linebacker Barrett Ruud, receiver Antonio Bryant, defensive end Gaines Adams and running back Earnest Graham served as models, each expressing excitement to wear the uniforms on Nov. 8 against the Packers.It's a bit of a juxtaposition for the franchise, which largely unsuccessful during its two decades wearing the original uniforms. But the current players appear to have an appreciation for the feats accomplished wearing old orange and are eager to play the game."I've been preparing for this, I have the mouthpiece, I have the cleats. . . I've got a lot of things," Bryant said.Graham said: "I definitely remember watching some of the guys I played with, Derrick Brooks and Mike Alstott, when football was really influential to me. . . I get to live it a little bit."Ruud said: "I think Mike Alstott and Derrick (Brooks) were the only ones (I know) that wore them. I'm real excited. I've never played in a throwback game. I think they look cool and it's going to be fun."The process of settling on the final version of the uniform was complicated, co-chairman Ed Glazer said. The first several versions of jerseys that came from the league were not the desired shade of orange, requiring much fine tuning."When people think of the orange jerseys, they think of just one color," Glazer said. "What we realized is that from 1976 to 1997, the jerseys changed dramatically. As soon as 1977, the jerseys started changing and getting darker. Things were changing rapidly." "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact the Buccs wore striped white socks back in those days...never have I EVER seen striped orange socks. Wtf?Apparently they did wear those socks when they wore the orange jerseys, according to this team pic. But of course no one really got to see them since they only wore them once during the preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Socks notwithstanding (or those biker shorts Gaines Adams is sporting)...I am whole again.The socks are SPECTACULAR!! And I appreciate the attempt to get the numbers and sleeve stripes to co-exist below the shoulder. So many teams do throwbacks with the numbers up on the shoulder (Vikings!) and call it accurate. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
