Paul Lukas w/ Uni Watch was given an exclusive view of the new Tampa Bay Bucs Uniforms and shared all the info PLUS mock-ups of what they look like... do YOU like them? Reminds us of the Super Bowl Winning Bucs Era...
VIA UniWatch: The uniforms were shown to me by an industry source who has requested anonymity. I did a fair amount of vetting to confirm the source’s credibility, and it’s clear to me that what he showed me are indeed the team’s new uniforms. I was not permitted to take photos or other visual documentation, but I was allowed to take detailed notes, so I will give you a point-by-point description of the designs — a fairly easy task, as it turns out, because the designs are very straightforward. As Bucs coach Bruce Arians recently suggested, they are very similar to the Bucs’ Super Bowl-era set.
More from UniWatch's original article on the subject: Ready? Here we go:
• There are two jerseys (red and white) and two sets of pants (pewter and white).
• The red jersey has white block numbers outlined in black (but no orange layer, as the Super Bowl set had). The “Buccaneers” wordmark has been restored to the chest, but this time it’s rendered in black (not white, as it had been in the Super Bowl set). Block TV numbers are on the shoulders. The Bucs’ current ship logo appears on the sleeves. The back of the jersey has the same white numbers outlined in black, along with white nameplate lettering.
• The white jersey follows the same basic design, but with red numbers outlined in black (again, no orange). The chest wordmark is once again black — same as on the red jersey. I was not able to view the back of this jersey, so I don’t know which color they’re using for the nameplate lettering. It’s almost certainly black, but I don’t know that for sure.
• The pewter and white pants both feature fairly wide red side striping with black outlining (no orange layer).
• Socks for both pant options are black over white.
• I have not seen the new helmet, but I’ve been told that it’s mostly the same as the current helmet — pewter shell, oversized logo — but with a black facemask instead of chrome. The shades of pewter on the helmet and pants will match up more closely than in the past.
• I have not seen the Color Rush design, but I’m told it will be mono-pewter.
That’s it — pretty basic and simple, really.
Again, I wasn’t permitted to retain any photos or other visuals, but I’m pretty sure the mock-up is a match for what I was shown. My source has also confirmed that it’s accurate. Although we mocked up only two combos — red/pewter and white/white — it’s entirely possible that they’ll mix and match the jerseys and pants, just like in the old days.
