That's quite terrible. Why did they need new uniforms? The ones they had were pretty sharp. Creamcicle alternates were clutch too.

It doesn't look like XFL or Arena. It looks like a mid-major CFB team. Think Miami (OH), Kent State, NIU, SDSU, etc. etc.

Why don't they just say "frick it" and go with Zubaz?

I disagree. Teams like Kent State and SDSU look like Arena League teams.

This Bucs uniform looks like college Nike Pro Combat uniforms:

These are the alternative uniforms. Tampa won't be wearing these for every home/away game.

I'm talking more so from a gimmicky standpoint. Those uniforms (the new Bucs unis) just scream "look at my gimmicky bullshite to standout". Which, even if it doesn't necessarily show up in uniform scheme/design, was very much something the XFL did with shite like "He Hate Me" on the back.

More photos to come at 2 ET today. Interested to see what the home jersey looks like. I wonder if the will stick with red, or if they will be pewter.

Custom name and number fonts have edging inspired by historical Buccaneer blade carvings.

To further match the more dramatic helmet that offers us a deeper pewter, gargantuan logo and chrome facemask, the new Tampa uniform features a first for the NFL: reflective chrome borders around the numbers on the front, back and shoulders. The chrome, according to uniform manufacturer Nike, will increase readability and add “a unique glow to the numbers.”

Gimmicks are to draw attention. That's exactly what this is. And it's atrocious. I get that you like them but they're a significant step back from what they had from the neck down.

No, gimmicks are tricks.

It's a trick or device used to gain attention. The numbers are a device used to gain attention. Hence why it's gimmicky.

wow
go take a marketing class, kid.

quote:

In marketing language, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries. However, the special feature is typically thought to be of little relevance or use. Thus, a gimmick is a special feature for the sake of having a special feature

as with most things, there are more than one definition of "gimmick", especially given its context.
