The Buccaneers do and it's not close

Bucs, Jags, Dolphins ruined a great uniform - all the Florida NFL teams suck. I hate the Seahawks uniforms, too


If the Bucs wanted new age they should have gone with the gray and that orange exclusively. Adding the red is why SMU has onle won 3 games since the start of last year.

Yes we had chrome stickers Saturday night.

I didn't like them personally, but hey live and let live.

I was more offended by our insistence on wearing the red jersey with grey pants.
I think we wore our pony express era uni combo just once against Baylor. :/

I'm disappointed, that we didn't wear a uniform from the Doak Walker era. Khaki pants, plain red helmet with no facemask.

Hayden Fry era uniform needs to be left in the Hayden Fry era. Good while it lasted, but.... :roll:
Matty Bell era was khaki pants, red jerseys and red helmets - blue not used anywhere. Khaki pants would look better than grey (if they're grouped with red jerseys and red helmets).
Best look is white helmets all the time and white pants all the time.

We should come out in pre-game warm-ups dressed like that just to freak people out.

Ah, the hijacked "uniform thread" rears it's controversial head again...


As far as the red uniforms, we need to go back to the dull Harvard Crimson to complete the AL uni...

Don't kid yourself, anyone between the Hayden Fry era (grey pants)... and the graveyard, would love this uniform. 8)

I brought this up on Twitter and was apparently the first to do so. I went back through pictures of all the games and we never used metallic red decals before.

I thought they looked good.

This thread just proves nobody will ever be satisfied with our uniform look so there is no reason to stop screwing with it every week.

Chrome decals negated the grey pants so I am happy.

I love the retro gray pants. Ole MIss uses the gray pants and their uniforms look great and different. Too many schools wear the traditional white which has little appeal to me. Hate the helmet decals. Wish coaches would do something other than mess up the looks of a great white helmet. Speaking of helmet, I think our Blue is not good and the red are only slightly better.

I noticed that on the decals, too, and I actually liked it.

Me + 0. Sat on the east side instead of my 202 seats. Very entertaining over there. Many students were warmed with intoxicating beverages... necessary since some of the young men wore short sleeve t-shirts to the game. Didn't see them after halftime.
