Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform and uniform color history
If you love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their colorful history, then you’re going to love this terrific two-minute video by NFL Films which chronicles the uniform color history of the Buccaneers uniform from their first season in 1976 to the present. Narrated by Scott Graham, one of the great voices of NFL Films, this video features three uniform history experts: Joe Horrigan who is VP Communications and Exhibits at the Pro Football Hall of Fame where he has worked for more than 35 years; Michael MacCambridge, author of “America’s Game: The Epic Story of How Pro Football Captured A Nation” and many other books as well as editor of the massive “ESPN College Football Encyclopedia”; and Scott Sillcox, sports uniform historian.

When you watch this NFL Films video, you will see 5 of the 13 actual painted uniforms — and you can actually own that original artwork!
The original Buc uniforms were awesome. The new uniforms suck!
Buc fan since day one…
GO BUCS!!!
what helps the bucs out very much is that there stadium goes along with the pewter look
go bucs
old Bucs uniform were awesome!
Their new look looks like crap!!! Bring back the super bowl uniforms and keep the new helmet logo!!
I am not a bucs fan, I just love history
the creamscicle uniforms are next to ugly with the Broncos brown and yellow uniforms and their vertical striped socks.
no… was better the old orange, the new is ugly
The Pewter Helmet with The Chrome Face Mask look silly
Go back. To the. 70.s LOOK
The Buccaneers have a new logo and I think have slightly different colors now
Giants fan here…I maybe in the minority here. But…I preferred their original uniforms/scheme colors.
Love that orange
I actually like their old uniforms. They were different. The 2014-16 ones with the weird number font and oversized helmet logo are just bad.
Bucco Bruce & the orange creamsicles were the best uniform ever! Bring it back!!!!
Bucs need to go back to the 2000s look. The new 2010s version is so ugly with those digital clock numbers.
Why in the hell did they change into what they wear now? Those are among the worst uniforms, not just in the NFL, but in all of sports. Who, in their right mind, would green light that crap? Hideous. They should go bowling with the Seahawks. Their uniforms suck also.
I prefer the old Buccs uniform than the new !
The Creamsicles were the best! One of my favorite all-time uniforms in sports. Wish they’d go back to that orange color. If the winking pirate doesn’t look tough enough for some people, just rebrand the logo to a tougher-looking pirate. Same colors though. Keep pewter in the color scheme, but make orange the primary color again.
& the dolphins colors/uniform WAS manly and intimidating? a dolphin?, as in….Flipper, happiness, gaiety. …and TEAL as the main color. didn’t seem to hurt Miami any. the original Bucs uniform & colors rocked….so much so they made an attempt to bring it back. and it would’ve remained back if not for the fact that the league and game has gone limp in the last 30 yrs.. everything today is about LOOKING badass, tough. tattoos, dreads, posturing…. not BEING tough. they look like clowns now. i’d stack my boys from the 60’s/70’s/80’s NFL, up against these punks any day. would love to see the outcome.
I honestly prefer the creamsicles. It’s a Florida team, so you want lighter colors. Just change the logo if they want.
The buccaneers went through a jersey change and logo change
What’s the style of the digits they now wear on their unis(LOL)?
The worst jerseys are the orange jerseys
Bucs uniforms got better once they added the creamsicle pants but too bad they only wore them for five years I believe. The red & pewters that followed were okay for that era but they should return to creamsicles. These current uniforms absolutely suck and need to go.
1972. Where were you in 72. Brian Rapp 12 wounderland school laurel cyn 1965 was ay m’y Héros John Mckay Football camp donlinsey was m’y middelinebacker coach we sat with lovley lindalinsey at Usc Ucla games tunnel 21 row 18 I named m’y first son Oliver mckay Rapp in J k Mckay s Honer canyonlocalfilmscom we own thé rose bowl
it’s a man on a helmet…its manly.
They won a Super Bowl in those red and pewter uniforms, practically erasing 20+ years of futility, and what do they do? They ditch them for the nightmare getup they have now. Makes me sick.
Love the original colors, uniforms , and Bucco Bruce.
The 2 best uniforms in the NFL were the Houston Oilers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneer "creamsicle" ones.
I HATE Tampa’s current uni’s, and i wish the Houston Texans would bring back the Oiler name and look.
Winston needs help on offensive
I hate the new ones, never should have changed the last ones.
Bring them back!!
OG Uniforms where the best…
You’re only gay if a pirate winking makes.yoi feel insecure. The reason why he is winking is because he is clinching a knife between his teeth as pirates climb the ropes of the enemies ship. White and orange goes better in the sun and 90 degree weather. If the NFL stops being soft and allow throwbacks again because they use multiple helmets in a season then Bucs can use both the current and old I enjoy both.
The 2014 uniforms are horrifyingly bad though.
The original logo for the bucs reminds me of the 3 musketeers
hell no, love the old school uniforms! so exotic and unique. i like different
From the beginning when the new uniform was released a few seasons ago, started to hate it and hate it now.
All the Buccaneers needed was just a few detail updates on the previous uniforms they had.
Also as like with everyone else said on the comments the orange uniforms was not bad.
If you said the orange ones were bad, then why was the dolphins uniforms was accepted?
By the way, the people in this video forgot to mention that in the late 1970s , with the Buccaneers were in orange uniforms , their were winners along with going to the NFC Championship in the 1979 to 80 season Which they lost by one touchdown against the Rams
Nothing more intimidating then the 79 D.
1992 change with a 25% bigger and more detailed Bucco was awesome…pants orange were great…to bad…bad taste has a way of getting its way. like uniforms has anything to do with winning…i cant believe fans fall for that….it was all cheap ownership with Hugh Culverhouse.
I wish so bad they would wear the all whites like they did in the 80s and 90s
I guess the bucs first season those old orange cream and white uniforms went great with the bucs going 0-26
I’d bring back the creamsicles and Brucie in a heartbeat.
New uniforms are ugly
Nobody told Leroy Selmon he looked wimpy wearing orange.
26 games with no wins ummm i think the browns top that
salmons
Thier current uniforms aren’t as sharp as thier ’70s uniforms.
