re: Buccaneers new uniform introduced

They tried too hard.

should have just kept them the same.

Looks like something Southwestern Louisiana would come up with, sans the Cracker Barrel font.

The numbers are absolutely horrid. They look like they're taken right off of a digital clock. Bad. The color scheme has never bothered me. But the way the colors look in the photoshops makes it look worse than it probably will look on the field in natural light. We saw that with the helmet a week or so ago. The worst part is that they will have mismatched sleeves. One will read "Bucs" while the other will have the secondary logo - the pirate ship - on it. Bad design.

its pretty much textbook gimmick. give it up

Wish they would roll with the pirate ship as their primary logo. It looks better IMO and makes more sense seeing as how their stadium has a pirate ship built into the stands

Uniforms are almost always made to stand out in some way and look different.

Uniforms and brands are meant to standout due to either name-brand recognition, having a classic look, or being generally accepted as "clean" or good" (Bears, Steelers, Green Bay, etc. etc.).

There's a difference in that and having weird shite put on a uniform to gain attention via notoriety. (TB orange unis, Jville unis, pastels in the 90s, etc.)

No it isn't. And frick off.

I just don't understand how organizations worth hundreds of millions of dollars can come out with stuff like this and think it's a good idea.

What's even worse is per the SI article I posted their marketing department developed it over TWO YEARS. Two years for a terrible, gimmicky uniform.

Somebody sign me up for the Bucs uniform design department.

So you found the 1 uniform that was colorful. But even the design isn't crazy. They just have many colors.

The helmet logo looks good. The uniform is putrid.
