Tampa Remodeling P. 1

so as alluded to in an earlier post, I am very into the aesthetics of sports jerseys. growing up in the city of Tampa I was exposed to various tragedies in jersey design. each team in Tampa though has had its dark days of design, from the Tampa Bay Terror and their awkward shark, to the Rays faux-back powder blue alternates on display vs. boston last night. so I am going to address what each Tampa sports team could use to improve their overall design. starting with the team with the best logo in the city, but still susceptible to some silly mistakes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

So the bucs have a really cool look to them, the red and pewter is very unique and distinct. when you see them on tv, they are hard to mistake with any other team, especially when they are playing in raymond james with a cool pirate ship. the biggest aesthetic offense the bucs are guilty of are these white pants they wear with white tops at least once a year, take a look. this all white look can be pulled off. however tampa is not penn state, the penn state helmets are predominantly white, thus the 'weight' of the helmet is not out of balance. on the tampa jerseys, particularly because the grey color is metallic pewter it appears as though the bucs players are top heavy and prone to fall over if they were to run at too much of an angle.

but what they should really do is wear the jerseys that got them their first win last year.
