Bucs unveil throwback uniforms
August 3rd, 2009
Barrett Ruud, Earnest Graham, Antonio Bryant and Gaines Adams model the 1976 throwback uniforms that the Bucs will wear for a Nov. 8 game against Green Bay.
On Nov. 8, against the Green Bay Packers, Bucco Bruce makes his return. The infamous “winking pirate,” along with the creamsicle orange and white uniforms, are luckily only back for one game.
While I’ll admit to a little bit of that’s cool, from a nostalgia standpoint, as soon as I saw the photo above of Ruud, Graham, Bryant and Gaines in those horrible uniforms I quickly remembered why they are gone. And why they should stay gone.
