Bucco Bruce is back.
On their official Twitter account, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released a video showing the return of the orange and white jersey for the 2023 season. The jersey comes with a helmet adorned with the mascot Bucco Bruce.
This outfit hasn’t been worn by the franchise since the 2012 season, and was the official jersey of the Buccaneers between 1976 and 1996. It had its moment of glory with a qualification for the NFC Finals in 1979. This is what that optimists retain.
For others, these jerseys are also those that started the life of the franchise with 26 consecutive defeats. After a brief upturn, Tampa and these outfits chained 14 seasons with a negative balance from 1983 to 1996.
But nostalgia and the desire to sell jerseys tend to make you forget these kinds of little details.
