wonderbread Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think the practice numbes are worse, but that's like saying being shot in the heart is worse than being shot in th brain.The practice numbers look like a child colored them in and went way outside the lines. Or that they were spray painted on and they went outside of the number template.Absolute trash. The square corners are incomprehensible. Also - are those practice numbers screened on to the mesh, or do theyactually have fake mesh texture on them? I thought all practice jerseys had single-layer stitched numbers now.There is no league wide uniformity when it comes to practice jerseys like there is for the other big 4 sports leagues. Every team has their own style of doing it, and those numbers look screened on to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellowTheMyth Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Practice jersey numbers are absolutely horrible. And now seeing the helmet in action in daylight, I now have a different opinion on the helmet, in which I believe that it needs a black facemask. The chrome mask seems to make it a bit unbalanced, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hardly tell there's a sword that the flag is attached to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that perspective it makes sense. The only thing I disliked about the old helmets was that the flag was the logo, and as a result was a little awkward in its balance as a helmet logo. So i actually like the helmet upgrade. Although I think liking anything about this uniform on this thread will be considered blasphemy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Are teams already doing OTA's? That helmet is screaming for a black facemask. The chrome facemask with the super polished mirror helmet with the gigantic helmet logo is too many things happening at the same time. A subdued facemask would balance all of that out.

It's pretty obvious the team wants the sword and flag as part of the main logo. I have yet to see the Bucs use any graphics with just the skull and swords.I thought all practice jerseys had single-layer stitched numbers now.Pretty sure most of the league still uses screened numbers for practice jerseys. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just supposed to draw your attention front and center to what's on the flag as opposed to the old helmet where it was smaller and off-center in relation to the rest of the helmet. Picture the old and new helmets without the red flag, but just skull and swords. The old one would be a little awkward but the new one makes more sense. But it also wouldn't look good without the red flag, and would be too Raiders-esqueAnd everyone's acting like just because you can't see things on the helmet, that you won't see the full logo everywhere else. Remember, its the NFL. You'll see your sword and flag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xist2inspire Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Welcome to the X...F...L!!!! I'm honestly getting tired of these type of jokes.Unfortunately for the Bucs, it fits all too well. This is such a minor league look. I really hope I don't offend any Bucs fans in here.....but I also really hope that Tampa Bay sucks hard for the next few years so that these can get a quick burial. Tradition is the foundation of innovation, and not the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, its the NFL. You'll see your sword and flagThat's not the point. The helmet is the main application of the team's logo (almost invariably the primary logo). It's the highest-profile, and you'd think it'd be the one they'd want to get right. It's a little like misspelling the name on your passport. Doesn't really matter if your credit cards are correct.

Gothamite Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 One of the two exceptions. But how would you feel if the wing logo was regularly covered up and obscured on the helmet?

Tifq76 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I have actually come around a bit on the actual jersey design. Ive always liked the helmet. Looks much better in the sun. Well except the numbers which cannot be salvaged. Ruins the unis just like Jacksonville's helmets ruin theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how would you feel if the wing logo was regularly covered up and obscured on the helmet?I think you'll be suprised. People will see it, on certain helmets sure the sword will be obscured. But I'm saying I get what they were going for, and I think even obscured sword is better than no sword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Apples and oranges. The Eagles' wings are intended to look that way, protruding from the front of the helmet/player's faces whereas the Bucs' logo is just straight up enlarged for the sake of being enlarged, obscuring essential elements of the total graphic being displayed. There's no need to feel compelled to defend this redesign. It's largely criticized here for very valid reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
