Also, remeber that chrome does not have to be colorless like a car bumper. Chrome can be red. ;)
Here is a chrome face mask. Notice how the center area is not chrome, as to avoid sun glare in the player's eyes. I would expect this.
Does this site's name change to the Chrome Report ??
From the info and tidbits I have gathered today, I think we can expect more chrome than just the face mask. I would guess that the logo will now have chrome in it. Perhaps the swords, perhaps a lot more. I also expect the actual uniform to have chrome accents. Personally I am not a fan of this. I think the chrome on unis looks tacky, and more importantly I think it will glare/blind our players when playing in RAYJAY in these 1:00 games with the sun blazing down. Just seems like a poor design decision and I won't be surprised if the chrome face masks are replaced after just one season. The helmet will be white. I am almost certain of that. They want something that can be used for the throwback cream cycles by simply swapping logo decals, so white makes sense. I am not a fan of this either. The pewter helmet is the one thing that sets us apart. It made us unique. From the sounds of it, pewter is being replaced by chrome and the helmet will be mostly white. I hope this is an incorrect assumption because I don't think I could ever like or support replacing Pewter with Chrome. We'll see. As far as the uniforms go, as I mentioned I think there will be chrome accents on the actual uniforms. The same guy that does the Oregon Ducks unis, did ours....so looking at some of their past unis kinda gives you a hint as to what to expect. Sapp mentioned a "fire & chrome" look. Not sure what that has to do with Buccaneers, but I expect very minimal black, with a lot of red and orange and white....with the chrome highlights. Overall I am not feeling good about it. I wanted an update for so long, but now I am worried the change is not going to be done well. I hope I wrong and I hope I love the new look....but right now I have this image stuck in my head of this really generic, tacky, college uniform that is trying way too hard to be cool.
Pessimistic... You? Nahhhhh

According to a report, the color changes won't be drastic.

He's butthurt because they clearly didn't pick one of his designs - none of his designs had chrome. He'll get over it.
Someone somewhere has to have pictures or the prototype drawings...how long until it leaks out ??
I'm 90% sure the new helmet will be white. And I think that's the best choice anyways. The pewter helmets look like dookie.
How can anyone hate the chrome helmets? They look sick. I want either matte or chrome. I don't think they'll go too far from our original colors

The sparkly brown ones...yep. But they could take this time to do a really great matte faux pewter helmet. Technology has come a long way in the last 20 years. I new pewter helmet could be really sick. White helmets are generic and will have us looking like the Cardinals with chrome face masks.

I agree, JDouble, a new pewter helmet could look sick and I like the darker helmet look. But I think a white one could be OK too, other than the Jags new helmet I think Nike does a pretty good job with design. Though maybe you should work for them? Some of the ones you (I think it was you) posted were awesome. Like the semi-wrap around flag. I'd love that.
CaptainStagger: "Good guys wear white, and bad, mean, nasty guys wear black, it's physiological."I don't think that word means what you think it means. 'Cause if that is the word you intended to use, then it's savagely racist.

Holy shlt......you're right.Psychological and Physiological are 2 completely different things.WOWOW
Hmm white helmet chrome facemasks with red in the center of the facemask and chrome logo sounds interesting!!!
I wonder what they will do with the pants if they are replacing Pewter with chrome. They obviously won't do chrome pants (although it would be hilarious) so that leaves white, red, and orange. Lol
