Just when I thought the Bucs season couldn’t get any lower, I was wrong. This Sunday is the Bucs throwback (or throw up) jersey week, which means orange, white and Bucco Bruce! Back in the day they used to call them “Creamsicle” uniforms.

There is nothing good about these colors and logo. It was a time in Bucs history when they were the laughing stock of the NFL. At one point the Bucs went 0 – 26, their first win didn’t come until the end of their second season. That winless drought makes the current one look like an oasis. Unlike some of the other throwbacks that I’ve seen this NFL season, the Bucs will feature an orange jersey and the infamous swashbuckling Bucco Bruce on the helmet.

The original intent of the logo was to create a pirate that was unique. What happened is up for debate, but at best he’s a metro pirate with some serious flair. We are talking plumed hat with a feather. He does have a dagger in his mouth, but it looks to be more metaphoric than menacing. The worst part is the fact that he’s winking at you. It’s just plain wrong in all aspects. I’ll never understand this next part, but the Bucs kept that logo for 20 years and nobody in the organization had the mental fortitude to change it.

The sad part is the Packers just lost at home to Brett Favre and the Vikings on Sunday and they are probably going to take it out on the Bucs. You might actually think it’s Vince Lombardi’s Packers vs the old Bucco Bruce teams, because the Packers are going to hand out a can of whoop ass, no pun intended.

Bucco requests that you drink Martinis instead of beer this Sunday.
