Mitch B Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I will miss the Bucs' previous uniforms which I think we're some of the best in the NFL. "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong." Dennis Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 They're definitely growing on me. Canzman's post helped a lot. The entire look together is very, well, uniform.I hate to admit it...I really really do...but they have actually grown on me to the point where I can honestly say....*sigh*....that I really...like them...A LOT. The large helmet logo and chrome face mask, the new brighter colors and inclusion of orange, the jersey template with the shoulder yoke and even the stripe on the pants seem to all work for me. The contrast in colors, the way the orange pops, the way the red gets perfectly framed by the pants and the pewter yoke. I love how the red numbers on the away jersey pop. I also love the way they framed the numbers with the bright orange and that new glowing design element. The repetition of the triangular stripe element on the shoulders and then again on the socks and pant legs works for me. Am I in love with the number font? No, but I don't think the numbers look that bad with the right sets of numbers. The number 93 for example, looks gawd awful, but the number 14 looks good to me *shrugs shoulders*The chrome face mask paired with the jersey makes total sense now. The logo is large but it works somehow...don't know why but it does. Sorry guys, call me crazy but I actually think Nike nailed these. When I look at the previous jerseys they actually come across as boring and somewhat dated. I never thought I would say this in a million friggin' years. After cursing up and down my office when I originally saw these...I never thought I would accept this new look. I honestly can't wait to see these on the field. *sigh* I think I need a drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I really think the biggest problem is how these things will look on the average fan, not so much the players. I think these threads will look pretty damn good on the field; The bright Florida sun will reflect these things perfectly. However, these will just replicate terribly on the average fan, especially the cheaper "replica jerseys". Ever seen one of those dorky Oregon fans wearing those new Oregon jerseys, it looks terrible. The actual uniforms are modern and "cutting-edge", but on a fan... they just look out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I know a lot of people here don't like the pewter, but I absolutely love the shade and think it works perfectly with the red and orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklas Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 After waiting a few days to make up my mind, the only thing I don't like is the Bucs wordmark on the sleeve. Put the pirate ship on both sides and I'd have no issue with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The following is the only explanation I can come up with as to this sudden and bizarre influx of posters stating this uniform might not be completely terrible, or in some extreme cases, claiming to like it;Stockholm syndrome - a psychological phenomenon in which hostages or victims have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them. Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other." One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual's response to trauma in becoming a victim. Identifying with the aggressor is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim believes the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be a threat.This makes perfect sense. In this case, Nike is the "person" who "intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates" (through the use of soul-crushing, mind-numbing, and otherwise totally sick! and cool! uniform designs) another person (the hapless sports fan). And obviously some feel they have no choice in response to this trauma but to identify with the perpetrator, and even convince themselves its "not that bad" or "nice except for the font" or even in severe cases "this has grown on me". Fight it people. Be strong. Don't give in. In the 70's we survived bright blue pullover baseball uniforms. In the 90's we survived basketball jerseys with giant animals plastered across the front. We survived Turn-Ahead-The-Clock. Hell, we even survived the jerseys in my sig! We can survive this. I promise you if you just stay focused on what you intrinsically know to be true, in ten years we can look back on the current uniforms of the Seahawks, Jaguars, and Bucs, and laugh and say, "Remember the era of uniforms? Hilarious!" http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
