The Tampa Bay Buccaneers showed off their new uniforms on Monday.
The new uniforms, which were designed by Nike (NKE), are meant to honor the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ past and present while preparing them for the future.
Here is how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ official website describes the new uniforms.
The base uniform color has been energized with richer pewter, juxtaposed with a brighter, more vibrant shade of “Buccaneer Red”. In homage to the Buccaneers’ early uniforms, the look also features “Bay Orange” as a new primary trim color and accent on both the jersey and the pants. Tampa Bay also becomes the first NFL franchise to incorporate a revolutionary reflective chrome border around the numbers on the front, back and shoulders. The chrome border incorporates a technologically advanced reflective coating that adds a new dimension, increased readability and a unique glow to the numbers.
While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are definitley excited about the new uniforms, others aren’t. Here are a few Tweets from fans that don’t like the new uniforms.
- “@TBBuccaneers BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”
- “Is it April 1st?”
- “That is absolutely terrible.”
The announcement of the new uniforms follows the unveiling of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ new helmet and logo designs about a week ago. The new logo marks the second time that the NFL team has redesigned its logo.
