Bucco Bruce Makes a Comeback

The Bucs had an unexpected win over the Green Bay Packers this past weekend, welcoming in the Josh Freeman era as the Bucs franchise quarterback.

The Bucs chose this weekend to play in their throwback Orange and White jerseys with the famed Bucco Bruce on the side of the helmet.


Initially, I thought I would not enjoy seeing the Bucs in their old style uniforms because of my childhood full of watching bad football in creamy orange... players like Vinnie Testeverde or Jack Thompson or Errict Rhett...

But to my surprise, I really enjoyed seeing the old unis. It was nostalgic.

Where the creamscicle uniforms were once a symbol of winless football, this weekend the Bucs got their first win of the season while wearing those bright threads and while also honoring Lee Roy Selmon for putting the Bucs legitmately onto the football map.

Throwback Sunday ended up being a good time all around.

Good win, good uniforms and good memories... well, some good memories, at least.

It was great to see such a win with all aspects of game being utilized by the Bucs! Very satisfying. I was pleasantly surprised at Freeman's performance. If he continues positive improvement there could be fun times ahead.

Loved the color as well. People complained about the colors and the logo but really, it's ok. Fans wanted something more threatening though. Well we have that now!
