Best Uniforms? - Page 2

I'd also throw Richard Wood, Hugh Green, and Kevin House in there.

Not saying you could field an All-Pro team from the era, but there are some Bucs fans who try to hard to pretend it never existed, and those players (especially Williams, Wilder, and Giles) deserve better.

Derrick Brooks has been a big proponent of a Buccaneers "Ring of Honor," and hopefully he can get management to buy into it.

I don't know about a Ring of Honor. Maybe in a decade or so. Hardy Nickerson and Lee Roy Selmon would be the only guys i'd say are worthy of such an honor.

I'm pretty sure Steve Young played for the Bucs in that era too, son't think he got many snaps though.

the old bucs might as well have been the Tenn Vols or Texas





I also liked the Hawks uniform from the Dominique era.

No joke! I moved to the Orlando area in '94, and became a fan in the couple of years before they changed the jerseys. Although, if you look at the stripes on the leg, they kept a small part of that creamsicle orange...

The Bucs also have black jerseys, but I can't even remember if I've seen a game when they wore these...


Another one that I like is the Detroit Lions' throwback that they wear on Thanksgiving. Nice and simple, and looks badass. Too bad the team isn't....

Heed me, for I am the Bringer of Bucs Answers....

I would easily add Doug Williams, Paul Gruber, and James Wilder to that list. Williams helped yank that team out of misery, Gruber was an absolute rock of an offensive lineman who deserved better, and Wilder at one point held the NFL single-game rushing yardage record and the record for most carries in a season.

He was there, played for two seasons (but only started 19 games) and got traded when the Bucs got Testaverde. His 3-16 record as a starter is probably not Ring of Honor material.

They've never worn them in a game. They sell them, but that seems to be all they're for.

They also have these pretty nifty jerseys they wear only in training camp:

They weren't wearing them when I went on Sunday, but they did have them for sale -- and of course, they had none in my size.

I like the font -- it's the numerical version of the lettering from their logo, and I always like distinctive numbers rather than the traditional block style.

That lettering is awful. Tanner is right on with the arena league comparison.

Tanner also gets points for posting the greatest jersey ever worn - the green and gold ND wore for the USC game last year.

You're standards for such an honor sound extremely low to me. I think Ring of Honors should be awarded to great players who had great careers, not guys that had one or two decent seasons or had solid, but not spectacular, careers. Doug Williams wasn't that great of a quarterback with the Bucs. He did something special outside of their organization. It would be like, if the Raiders had a Ring of Honor and included Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, Rod Woodson, Eric Dickerson, Andre Rison, Roger Craig and others into it.

Williams started his career with the Bucs though, and taking an expansion team not far removed from 0-26 to one game shy of the Super Bowl and back-to-back playoff seasons qualifies as great in my book, especially when it's the Bucs we're talking about. Besides, had Culverhouse not been the notorious tightwad he was, Williams probably would have finished his career in Tampa.

Players with pass percentages that are under 50% and 1:1 TD/INT ratios aren't very good in my opinion. Sapp, Brooks and Lynch are the quality of players that should get into a teams Ring of Honor. Not a run of the mill qb who had one real shining moment in his career, on another teams payroll.

But, I guess my standards are too high because my favorite team has one of the richest histories in professional sports.

Isn't that the 49'ers jersey?

I don't.

About the Buffaslug Saga...

Just to be clear, the official jerseys haven't been released yet - there are tons of different fan mockups out there including this one. The only thing confirmed is the logo.

Unlike most of my fellow Sabre fans, I'm not ready to commit ritual seppuku over this, nor sign a petition. Let me see what the damn thing looks like on a jersey first. (Even with the outcry, the new unis won't get unveiled until the last home preseason game in September. Odd? Very.) Then, I'll go and buy myself a brand spanking new old school jersey. The team president had to have a press conference last week announcing plans to wear the old road unis (that's the blue ones pictured here...) for 15 games at home.

While the team had announced that they were going back to a blue and gold scheme last year, most figured the new look would be an updated version of the old school Sabre logo. Something like this, or maybe this. Apparently the designer of both concepts got as far as talking to said team president, but as he'd copyrighted the design, there was no way the Sabres were going to pay him to use it. Shame, that.

As for the red and black Goathead, I'm pretty neutral on the design. Sure, the team went from having no one buy their merch to all of a sudden being hot. (Before the logo redesign, I knew maybe two other guys in high school who'd wear the B&G jersey besides me. The year the new unis came out, they were everywhere.) But the history of the team is mainly blue and gold, and it'll be nice to see a buffalo and swords back on the same jersey again full-time (a detail confirmed at said press conference).

As other NHL designs go, the Original Six are fine, and I have a fondness for the Blues and Penguins' respective designs...

Raiders.

I think I'm the only one who think's Oregon's football team's uniforms are pretty slick looking.

Honorable mention to the mid-90s Penguins goalie helmet with Danny DeVito from Batman Returns on it.

Oregon's uniforms are a joke. Like all Nike designed unis (except it's even worse for OU), it's not about the school, but rather about the company which designs them. They're not wearing Duck jerseys, they're wearing Nike jerseys.

Call me crazy, but I always liked the Lakers' away jerseys. Purple as the primary color, with yellow, just appealed to me.

The Celtics' away jerseys were great, too. Classic.

I was a big fan of this rivalry in the '80s, in case you couldn't tell.

I always thought the Penn State uniforms would be what a generic football team would look like, except with the word "TEAM" in plain black letters on the helmet.

I was reading a history of Charley O. Finley's A's, 'Champagne and Baloney' - they mention how when the A's brought out their new gold and green uniforms, Ralph Houk, the American League All-Star manager, refused to play the KC representative during the game, saying the uniform would embarass the American League.

Now that would suck.

The Ken Wregget mask from the '95 playoffs! They've got that at the Hall of Fame in Toronto at the entrance.

That's some good info there, thanks. Now, I'm way out of touch & can't remember the guys name, so maybe you can help me out. All Black player who also played Test cricket for NZ. Was his name Wilson or something like that? Jeff maybe?

I guess I'll be the first to sing the praises of the Dallas Stars uniform. But only the Green & gold home colours. Yes, I may be biased but it's a good looking kit. As for the now defunct black & red "bulls head" shirt, the less said the better!

Yeah, I'm a complete homer but I love the Saskatchewan Roughriders:



And, as much as I hate the Canucks, I love their Vintage Third Jersey:

Great webpage! Thanks for the link.

Leafs natch.





It's so damn noble, with so much history. And I love that it hasn't really changed in 75 years.

From Rugby Heaven (article from 2003)

Jeff Wilson quit rugby for cricket but hadn't played at test level as of 2003; he did in 2005.

Hell yeah! Another favorite of mine is the Rams. I love that dark blue.

The new Anaheim Ducks uniform revamp was a great idea, and the end result kicks all sorts of cunt. The new colors are awesome.

Hockey-wise, I'm quite partial to Calgary's red and black shirt and Nashville's tan-blue shirt.
