and why don't we actually use a pewter color?
Quote from: brewerfan on February 17, 2012, 08:12:41 PMand why don't we actually use a pewter color?This has bothered me since day one of the new uniforms. I don't complain about it because at this point I don't see it changing....however, Pewter is alloy made from tin. It has a very small amount of copper or lead which can give it a slight brownish or blueish tint, but it is only slight and the overall color is still a grey. I don't understand why we use a metallic brown and call it pewter. I'd love it is we changed the current "pewter" to a flat matte dark grey with no gloss or shininess at all. Some of the college teams have them and I think they stand out and look sharp. Here is a black version of the flat matte look. I also like the idea of only putting the Bucs logo on one side of the helmet and making it oversized like the Boise State logo in this pic.Also, If we did use a real pewter color that was more greay than brown, we could introduce some more orange back into our unis, but the brown/pewter and orange just look awful together.
We aren't going to tweak our uniform. If we do, it will be extremely minor. Nike can try and tweak it all they want but in the end the Glazers own the team and own the way the uni looks. If you wanna see uniforms get re-done...go watch college football. This is the NFL and if you ask me, the Bucs logo and colors are some of the best in the NFL.

It happens all the time and for all you know we could get a revamp in 2013 or 2014. I understand you like them the way they are, but don't be afraid of change buddy. A little revamp every so often keeps things fresh. If we were an original team that had the same look for 60 years I would agree with you, but as an expansion team that has already completely revamped their look once....it's not out of the question.

What honestly makes you think that would change now? BTW, I have seen the designs you have come up with dude....let me just say that you would not have a job in art design. Am I saying it can't happen? No. But I think its very unlikely. Besides, it took the Glazers YEARS to do a throwback game and a ring of honor...what makes you think they want to re-do the uniform?
