Tampa Bay Buccaneers Getting New Logo, Helmet & Uniforms

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

Here's one more of them in action. It's all going to be about the lighting

I'm not against the big logo per se, but that looks awful how much of the logo is covered up by the face mask, chin strap and hardware in front. You can hardly tell there's a sword that the flag is attached to.

Someone very early in this thread (years ago? haha) mentioned that the main logo is supposed to be the skull and swords, not the flag itself. 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

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.

If the main logo was supposed to be the skull and swords, then it would be just a skull and swords. 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.

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.

I couldn't agree more. This is garbage.

There is no 'graphic' for it. 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-esque

And 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

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.

That'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.

I mean maybe its hard to relate. I'm an Eagles fan, we don't have the main logo on the helmet but you still see that darn eagle head everywhere

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.

One of the two exceptions. 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

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.
