El Scorcho Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just a 2 minute mock up changing the numbers to first block font I could find to prove how big of a difference the numbers have made to what is otherwise a pretty good design IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like those numbers either haha - but still an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Texans or maybe falcons numbers would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Now that quite a hand full of teams have changed their uniforms under Nike, I'm starting to change my position on the Redskins updating their look. I just don't see it ending up well. I'd be totally fine with the Skins keeping their current set throughout the rest of my life if it means avoiding a potential Tampa/Jax/Seattle situation.

PhlyBoy Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Right there. That's the winner. If that was the real thing, my opinion is completely changed. Just the shoulder numbers becoming orange and the pant stripe flipping colors and bam, very good looking uni. It'd look off with the red helmet logo though.

We're fighting a losing battle if we think good taste will ever make a come back.Kids have bad taste as a rule of thumb.Exactly. In the late 70's, most of the kids in my neighborhood thought these were among the best uniforms in baseball...Kids aren't exactly the best fashion critics. Then again, kids are who teams are selling this stuff too. So until 16 year olds develop a sense of style - which is about as likely as the Browns winning the Super Bowl next year - Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, et al are what we're stuck withThose Pirates and Orioles uniforms were the best.. beat the hell out of the light blue that was running rampant through MLB at that time.

4_tattoos Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 ^^^^^Unpopular opinion: I wouldn't mind if the NFL sold blank jerseys. Other sports do it. I personally don't think it would be a bad look for fans to wear *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26_Mirage Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 ...and, I'm sorry, but while the helmet might be a dark pewter......the pants are just DARK GRAY......remember when the chrome grills were the big issue?

I personally don't think it would be a bad look for fans to wear *shrugs*I agree. Heck, I've been looking for a blank jersey for a while now so I can put "McCRINGLEBERRY" or "JAVARISON-LAMAR" on the back (Key & Peele, East-West Bowl) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, way to take the focus off of that.That's because pewter is essentially dark gray. Their new pewter is much more accurate to the color they are trying to match. Their old pewter was more metallic brown.

sportstar1212 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Part of me still can't believe these are real. They're that bad. It just blows my mind how a team can go from one of the best looks in the league to the absolute worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisbergan Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 1. If there isn't a "bay orange" alternate jersey, I'd be shocked. There is NO reason to have a orange pair of socks available, if this isn't the case. The orange socks would have NO place with any of the red or white jersey combos. They only exist to be worn with the orange jersey, which we haven't seen yet.2. I think in the end, the Bucs will wear the red jersey with the pewter and white pants. The white jersey with the pewter and white pants. And the orange jersey with the pewter pants (think Oklahoma State and what they look like with their orange jersey/pewter pants combo that they've worn in recent years). Orange socks with the orange jersey.3. Not sure what they'll do with deciding on the red and pewter socks. If it were me, the red socks would be worn with the pewter pants and the pewter socks would be worn with the white pants.4. For those whining about the look (big surprise), my guess is that there were plenty of people who didn't like the initial Bucs rebrand in 1997 either. Too different. Strange color (pewter???). Not traditional enough. We got used to them. We'll get used to these. Lets all settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Scorcho Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Anyone find any other pics of the jerseys?There is a slideshow of 40 on the buccaneers websitehttp://www.buccaneers.com/multimedia/photo-gallery/Photos-New-Uniforms-Unveiled/1c5981a2-ef8c-4acb-849d-11be03e8f8df#1fd3823d-0f09-44fd-a371-d6e46a92322bLooking through that slideshow, I am even more convinced that it's just the dodgy numbers ruining an otherwise good set.It's probably not an upgrade, but it's not bad. But the numbers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
