TampaBayRays 0 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 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dennisbergan 61 Posted February 17, 2014 The Bucs are going to finally do what they should have done 10 years ago? An alternate pewter jersey? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhlyBoy 210 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if there was a switch you'd think it would have leaked to us uni nerds by now. 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wonderbread 382 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? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 18,712 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must be for the holiday weekend. Although 50% is very generous and we usually equate that with a massive inventory change 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldschoolvikings 16,912 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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is totally out there but I honestly think that a Creamsicle orange and Pewter scheme would look awesome. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4_tattoos 1,363 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". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 18,712 Posted February 18, 2014 They're bringing back the creamsicles but instead of the Bucco Bruce logo they're making a Bucco Sapp version. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
