“Raise The Flags is a celebration of the people, the perseverance, and the passion that built this franchise over the past 50 seasons,” said Glazer in a statement. “We wanted to create an honest and comprehensive look at our journey – from the earliest challenges to the unforgettable championship moments – and to honor everyone who has shaped the Buccaneers franchise into what it is today. This series celebrates that rich history in a way that has never been done before.”

Bucs Continuing To Celebrate Historic 50th Season With Highly Anticipated Docuseries

Bucs fans have been given a special treat as the franchise is in the middle of its 50th season.

This summer featured the Bucs’ Best Moments bracket, the unveiling of the special 1976 throwback uniforms, and the top 50 Bucs of all-time list. With the upcoming release of the Raise The Flags docuseries, it is perfect way to blend the past and present in celebration of 50 seasons as the year of festivities is nearing a conclusion.

What makes Tampa Bay’s journey with an NFL team all the sweeter is just how far it has come from humble beginnings. What will be first illustrated to viewers is the infamous 0-26 start and the pivotal moments that reshaped the franchise’s trajectory.
The series revisits the club’s surprising rise to prominence in 1979; the transformational sale to the Glazer Family; the move to acquire Jon Gruden that culminated in the club’s first Super Bowl championship; the drafting and development of generational talents such as John Lynch, Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber and Mike Evans; and an unforgettable run to a second title in Super Bowl LV after signing NFL legend Tom Brady. Along the way, Raise The Flags uncovers the untold stories and behind-the-scenes moments that shaped the identity of the organization.

Cooper, known for his award-winning work on high-profile sports documentaries and character-driven storytelling, led a production team that conducted 100 interviews with current and former players, coaches, executives, staff, media personalities and more. First-hand accounts are supported by archival footage and historical recordings that provide a detailed look at the franchise’s fifty years of evolution.
“I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and have loved the Bucs my entire life, but storytelling is my job, and this story has it all: grit, heartbreak, community, unforgettable characters and more,” said Cooper, who was a Buccaneer Magazine/Pewter Report subscriber. “The best part of this project for me has been going deep into the rise of this franchise and uncovering stories even lifelong fans never knew.”
An early look was given to those in attendance of the premiere event at the Tampa Theatre back in early September. After being much anticipated in the months since then, fans can finally look forward to the release of Raise The Flags on Prime Video beginning December 11. It is available nationwide to viewers with a Prime membership on any compatible device.
