Praise be, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are headed to the playoffs. The first game against Washington happens Saturday, so fans — hardcore and fair weather alike — will be breaking out Bucs gear to show their pride. Here are ten original items that you won’t find in the mall or the team store.
Siege the Playoffs
Celebrate the Bucs’ long-awaited return to the playoffs in this T-shirt featuring the pirate ship from Raymond James Stadium’s Buccaneer Cove. It also comes in red and creamsicle, through St. Petersburg-based 1771designs.com, who also makes other Bucs gear.
We Love It
Receiver Mike Evans got attention for wearing a T-shirt his mother-in-law bought him, reading,”I love it when my wife lets me play video games.” We happen to love it when Mike Evans records his seventh straight 1,000-yard season. This design, which also comes as a mug or tote, is available from thebigguavatshirts.com.
The Other Bucco Bruce
There are many, many variants on the Buccaneers throwback Bucco Bruce logo, but this one featuring the Buccaneers’ other Bruce, coach Bruce Arians, just makes sense. This one is available at smackapparel.com.
A Dad Hat
One of those aforementioned Bucco Bruce variants. This one is from Tampa streetwear company A Blowfly Joint, which also puts it on shirts and stickers. Available through ablowflyjoint.com.
Sports Hardcore
Another Misfits-inspired skull is a take on the Bucs’ flag, designed by the Vitale Bros. Pair the T-shirt with the Dad Hat to make an intimidating presence. Available through stpetethreads.com.
