Sport Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Did they show the other side? Number?No. The logo is on both sides so they got at least that much right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevTy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ya know, I don't know that the face mask can properly be called "chrome" - it more looks color matched to the helmet shell. To me, chrome is mirrored - this face mask simply looks glossy and metallic.I do wonder what it will look like with a more intense face mask. What's the name of that bloke on the Giants with the full Vader style mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The more I look at this, the more I think it'd be perfect if they had just kept the original flag. The new one looks like a Chinese knockoff. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Think of the new logo like this:The skull and swords are the logo. The flag is just a helmet stripe. A unique helmet stripe, but a helmet stripe none the less.It will fix the major problem of the logo just looking like a red flag on TV and during games.

vicfurth Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm waiting for the mashups that people will do here. The new one needs the defining lines from the old flag. This is a tad "clean" for pirates though. I prefer the unkemptness of the old. Oversized logos need to go down a hole though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFallenHaveRisen Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This is what Pewter looks like IRL, makes the new color look better compared to the metallic brown they had before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuordr Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I hate how much the color changes in light...I mean I understand it would be darker with a dark background, but this is a little too extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRich88 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I see it has gotten some mixed reactions. I really like the updated logo, and helmet. Looking forward to the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user3841053 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Watch the skull and sword rendering as this spins: http://www.buccaneers.com/multimedia/videos/360-Degree-View-of-Buccaneers-Helmet/d5dbdd7c-82a0-48b4-ad0f-80fc974cca8cFor reasons I cannot comprehend, the flag does not look as big with the 360 degree view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevTy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Seriously, imagine this helmet with an Oakley visor and a Justin Tuck facemask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 After the initial shock, I'm actually kind of pleased with this so far. At the very least, now they have a reason not to have a helmet stripe, and the weird extension at the lower left of the flag looks really nice when looking at the helmet from the back.

CS85 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's awesome but the color seems misleading. It definitely was shinier in life.

Midway Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well, it's just okay with it so far. The big clincher is the entire uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
