TampaBayRays Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just speculation on my part but...https://twitter.com/TBBuccaneers/status/435525433585455104#Bucs fans, @WarrenSapp will be making a big Buccaneers announcement tomorrow morning. What do you think it will be? #itsabucslifeMeanwhile today the Bucs started selling every jersey on the team site for $50.00. http://shop.buccaneers.com/catalog/Jerseys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisbergan Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 The Bucs are going to finally do what they should have done 10 years ago? An alternate pewter jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhlyBoy Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Normally I wouldn't read into it, but with the discounted jerseys it makes for an interesting day tomorrow for us. But if there was a switch you'd think it would have leaked to us uni nerds by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a few of the "insiders" may have lost their connections, and the ones that still have them don't want to risk losing them, hence why it's been so quiet.

wonderbread Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 weren't the Bucs suppose to make a change last year but pulled out last minute, could they have just waited a year to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I think you're right, but I don't recall if it was a total overhaul or some little logo tweak or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be for the holiday weekend. Although 50% is very generous and we usually equate that with a massive inventory change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I think it would be really surprising for a team to actually debut a new uniform in mid-February. Draft day has been the default for new uniforms for so long it almost feels like some kind of rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC last year the Vikings released their updated logo well before they even confirmed they would be getting new uniforms. The Bucs could show off a tweaked logo, and drop a hint of more to come. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there was a switch you'd think it would have leaked to us uni nerds by now. As far as the discount, most team contracts with their online store providers run through March 31, so it's possible the sale is unrelated and they're making a change there. Or, they're going total rebrand and offloading the old stuff.I heard a rumor of a "throwback-inspired" re-brand back during the season, but assumed there was nothing to it. Still may not be. It could be nothing or something very small, have they retired Sapp's number yet? He's the one making the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is totally out there but I honestly think that a Creamsicle orange and Pewter scheme would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Unpopular opinion: sorta hope the announcement is the team rebranding themselves as the Tampa Buccaneers. I have an irrational hatred of Tampa sports teams being called "Tampa Bay". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 They're bringing back the creamsicles but instead of the Bucco Bruce logo they're making a Bucco Sapp version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a shot in the dark...I think we'll see at least a new wordmark for the Buccaneers sometime soon. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe it will be in an ancillary news release... but looking at that merchandise...a lot of it has the old wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
