New Uniforms Revealed
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
I assume they didn't want to change the white helmet more than once this year so they spent extra time getting it ready for the Jack Trice game. Now that it's done I bet we see the old white helmets again soon.
I'd say we've got a chance of the white helmet in any of our next 3 games. Question is, will it be our standard white helmet (which we haven't worn yet this year, and is our best helmet, agreed) or, the Ames helmet?
It wouldn't surprise me if we get the Ames helmet one more time. I don't think we'll do the whole Trice uni, though, just the helmet.
We might see re-use of Ames helmet vs. KU ... has a tie-in with Missouri Valley of the 1923 period. As you said, won't be the full Trice uni -- perhaps our white/cardinal/white.
It wouldn't make sense this season for any road games (seems like a "home-game-only" thing), and I'm 94% certain we'll do all-black vs. Texas.
Agree, I was thinking almost the same. The KU game is the logical place for the white Ames helmet, if we do it. And I think it is the reason we haven't seen the "other" white helmet so far. I think it will be the Ames helmet at home vs. KU.
I hope we do it. It would be cool. Almost as cool as the TCU Trice uni.
Almost.
So I'll call the Baylor game, c/w/c
The KU game, w/c/w (with the Ames helmet)
BYU, c/w/w
And our good friends, gag, Texass, black rush, b/b/b

I'd make a pretty substantial wager that we see C/W/W in Waco. CMC is fanatically about sticky with uniforms that result in a win
For me, I'm sure part of it is nostalgia, I'm old enough to remember TB and Seattle added as expansion franchises.
Redesign in the '90s was solid, but not as close to identity (seemed like it was SF template with Bucs team colors).
unfortunately me to. I was in junior high (now middle school)

Remember the first year with Seattle/Tampa Bay, when TB was in the AFC and Seattle was actually in the NFC Central?
Also those unis do carry the 0-16 start legacy of the Bucs, although that doesn’t make them any less cool
I have been a life-long Bronco fan and I got a classic NFL "letter jacket" (late 70s) for Christmas one year (5th grade). It was a Denver one, but I almost asked my mom for a Tampa Bay one instead because I loved TB's uniforms so much.
Yes! I remember the AFC/NFC thing with those teams.
Tampa was in AFC West, Seattle in NFC West the first season. Then TB moved to NFC Central, Seattle to AFC West.
I'd have to do research to know why they were aligned in one conference then shifted to the other the following season -- maybe so established teams were more likely to play them (?)
TB didn't have a natural geographic fit until NFL reorganized to the 4-division N/S/E/W format.
I wonder if there's a bit of "charm" associated with that, "lovable losers with creamsicle uniforms" ... TB was 0-26 before winning final two games of '77 season.
Also below .500 for most of two decades in those uniforms.

That’s right, 0-26! Man, I’d forgotten how bad that start had been
And in '76, TB scored 135 points in 14 games. Six games were shutout losses.
And Steve Spurrier was QB!
