TheoW Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I don't follow this thread very much, but is it likely the Bucs are wearing their throwbacks tomorrow? My local grocer, who is the "official supermarket" of them, used Bruce in their ad this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole stadium will be dressed up for tomorrow's throwback game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole stadium will be dressed up for tomorrow's throwback game.They are practicing in the helmets, today is Lee Roy Selmon day, the reporters are wearing Bruce, their Twitter page changed the logo to Bruce, and the look will be ruined by the pink.As far as the pink, what the NFL should do (since they've made the committment for a 1/4 of their season, is to use the NFL shield with the pink ribbon on the back of the helmet and as a patch on the jersey. They could use the patch also on the back of the gloves and shoes. They could still auction them off and it would be less intrusive on the uniform as a whole. The pink socks, sleeves, gloves, shoes, etc. is overkill and ruins every teams look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 No, it's not. It's a valid opinion on that logo. Disagree if you want, but you can't deny that it has a lot of "90s" design qualities. It's very much s product of the era in which it was designed.Good or bad? In the eye of the beholder. It still is what it is though.like what, bold line work? even as an "angry mascot" its a timeless logo. it works in 1 color. it works in reversed direction. there's no executional flaws. its simple, visible is application, distinctive, great color (and if you wanted to change it to royal blue it still works) works with a key stroke on multiple background colors or with negative space on blue as on the helmet. a great depiction of the "wild spirit of the west"The mane is pretty clumsy looking. I think the whole thing is a bit too robotic, to tell you the truth. That's just a stylistic thing, but that may be what dates it to a certain degree. I'd prefer a few more organic touches if they have to go with this style of logo. I think you're using the term 'works' too loosely here. It looks pretty terrible on any color that requires the use of that dark keyline. There's also too much white, proportionally. It makes it look very flat. More white/blue balance is needed.I also like to affectionately call this logo 'Woltz's Special' due to the fact that it resembles a decapitated stud.ive really got no problem with any of that. more of what i like about it actually, LOLI'm really nitpicking, to tell you the truth. Of all the things that were born in the 90s, the Broncos logo is certainly one of the best. It really does look better on the helmet than it does in other applications, which is fine if you have another logo to use for other applications, but the Broncos do not. It's a fine logo, but it could be better in my eyes is all.I don't like it on the Bears, either.If your logo can't be seen from the front, you should add a stripe or something.I think that's a miss. I mean, a football player is a moving, animated creature, and to judge the aesthetics of a football uniform to the point that you would want to seriously change the entire dynamic of the uniform (adding a stripe the the Bears' helmet!?) based on what it looks like from a single freeze-frame angle seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

Crash Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 On my TV, the Buccaneers throwbacks appear to be more accurately tangerine today and less "orange glaze." Can anyone with physical access to both confirm or deny that the Nike versions are a slightly different orange from the Reeboks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsox Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The Patriots are wearing their throwback alternate uniforms today, and it got me to thinking: I don't think I'd have any problem at all if the Patriots were to switch their home uniform to the exact same striping pattern, logos, etc as the throwbacks, but switch all the red on the uniforms to navy and all the royal blue on the uniforms to red. I'd love to see someone do a quick and dirty Photoshop mockup of this if there's anyone interested/bored enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bengals going orange tonight. Looks darker than last years.I'd chalk that up to a combo of the Nike material and the lighting. I don't recall seeing the Bengals wear the orange under the lights before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Man I miss this uniform. One of the very few I thought was truly flawless. Reminds me why I hate their cheap new unis this year. Such a downgrade. Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
