Glazers Loud On Uniforms But Quiet On Tom Brady
April 7th, 2020
Man, Joe can’t figure out Team Glazer.
They sign history’s most successful quarterback and go silent. But they correct a horrendous uniform mistake and that gets the uncomfortable and mind-numbing silence broken? Weird mindset.
For those unaware, the Bucs rolled out new uniforms today that look a lot like the glory-years threads they scrapped after the 2013 season.
Today’s official team release had a quote from Buccaneers owner/co-chairman Ed Glazer. It was as bland as unleavened bread.
“This new but familiar look is a direct result of the valuable feedback we received from our fans,” Glazer said. “We are excited to return to our classic Super Bowl era uniforms while also introducing a sleek Color Rush uniform that showcases our signature pewter in a new and dramatic way. The refreshed classic design of our home and away combinations bridges our past with our exciting new future, and we are confident it will resonate with our fans.”
Yawn.
Would it have tortured Team Glazer to say something like, ‘and we can’t wait to see Tom Brady wearing one of these new jerseys?’ Where’s their sense of fun?
Joe knows Team Glazer is wildly passionate about every Bucs turnover, touchdown and front office blunder. It’s too bad they like to keep that hidden to such an extreme.

>Joe knows
How so Joe?
do you have any examples or stories? Just curious.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:01 pm
In the pic…they’re probably talking about changing the uniforms every 5 years from suck to great…you know, just to keep people buying them.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:03 pm
Even more … it’s a decision of licht and two face Bruce to do jameis dirty and bring Tom. Perhaps glazers were not all in on the virgin Tom Brady experiment .
How could you if your the owner ? You hire Bruce to fix and improve jameis and fix the culture , and the head coach goes public in support of jameis .then a year later he turns his back on everything he said and turns to Tom to improve culture and position.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:05 pm
All of this by two face Bruce … hiring largest staff in league. Hiring a former ref. Hiring women. Hiring Tom Moore. Etc etc. then this two-face turns his back on everything.
No integrity doesn’t sit well. If we don’t reach at least NFC champ. Bruce. Licht will be fire.

@Adrnagy
Uh what the hell are you talking about? Did Jameis dirty? So they owe him something more than a paycheck? Derrick Brooks was done dirty. Winston got unemployment line where quarterbacks sit are that can’t protect the ball.
Not sure what you expect the glazers to say obviously they wanna see all the players in the new uniforms versus signing Brady for him to sit and do nothing until December or like July. Not the time to get excited, these guys wanna know when the league will resume activities
April 7th, 2020 at 2:18 pm
I nominate Ardnagy for the Gold Medal of Jameis Winston Butthurt.
Do I hear a second?
Does anyone want to nominate Ndog?
April 7th, 2020 at 2:20 pm
Projected wins 8-9 … with the “goat qb”and “super great coach”.
Not even win the division …
pls bandwagoneers stop drinking toilet water.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:23 pm
Excitement for new look yes. Not excited for result which will be the same 7-8-9 wins. Or perhaps under 7 wins if Oline gets run over like every year and Brady gets hurt. Come on 43 -44 yr old. You think he will hold up getting sacked 40 times or more ?
April 7th, 2020 at 2:25 pm
Ardnagy, find a rock on your street and join the likes of Tmax and start kicking it. No room for that kind of non sense on here.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:25 pm
These uniforms are the result of a completely lazy effort. I don’t think they listened to the fans, many of us wanted the orange back. What was the point of all the promo videos talking about the past and showcasing the orange? I would have been more impressed if they came out and said “ yeah we basically blew it with the last uniforms, other than the helmet, you guys seem to like that….so we’re keeping the helmet and going back to the uniforms our dad insisted we switch to…”
April 7th, 2020 at 2:25 pm
When do the kids of successful parents ever have an act ?
April 7th, 2020 at 2:26 pm
New uniforms are boring except for the pewter, those are cool. I wonder how much they paid someone to come up with this. Probably one of their grandkids. No nod to the oldest of Buc fans. Could have at least done the white with creamsicle numbers and red and pewter outline. Old school red and awesome Pewter. I think this will hurt jersey sales. Buc fan will just reach deep into their closet and pull out Brooks, Dunn, Barber, Lynch, Alstott, Sapp, Rice, etc. unless of course they want to melt by buying a new Pewter one. JMO
April 7th, 2020 at 2:28 pm
But they dont have to say what we already know joe cmon now
April 7th, 2020 at 2:31 pm
Another butt hurt fan. JJ if Winston was still here it all would be great and sell a million jerseys right?
April 7th, 2020 at 2:32 pm
The Glazers “America’s NFL Owners”…..
I suspect they are waiting to introduce Brady in person (sans handshake, 6′ apart)
April 7th, 2020 at 2:38 pm
I agree with Adrnagy
They did Jameis dirty. and I have no respect for them because of it.
Luckily for them, they don’t care, need or even know about my lack of respect.
I am excited to see Tom Brady play and hope they go on a competitive run. I also would equally like to see Licht and Arians crash and burn because they are pompous phony ********
And you all can save all the I’m not a real fan chatter-
Beacause I am. I just dislike the way it went down.
Now I can see that Jameis may have gotten what he deserved because I believe there was a turning point and disconnect once the team found out he had lied to them about the uber ride-
Trust and respect was lost. I get it.
Arians an Lichts behavior and public jabs this off season almost seemed spiteful. Arians is captain politics- self proclaimed whisperer, hasn’t won jack on his own and Licht is an incompetent backstabbing losing buffoon with nine lives. He is a master of the art of deflecting the spotlight at the perfect moment. I’ll give him that.
Hopefully Brady is enough of a winner to overshadow the losers that are in his way.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:42 pm
I can’t think of a team that has “won” in the offseason more, and produced on the field less!!!!!!!!! Maybe that can really go over the top and volunteer for “Hard Knocks”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 7th, 2020 at 2:45 pm
They don’t want to be peppered with questions about Winston from neurotic Winston fanboy bloggers.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:46 pm
Who cares they didn’t mention Brady? Is that even necessary? They let the GM and head coach discuss personnel changes.
April 7th, 2020 at 2:50 pm
Because The Glazers are like me. Hard to be excited when JW is not here
I want Jameis back and no i wont let it go

@Joe
“It’s too bad they like to keep that hidden to such an extreme.”
I certainly take your point but I’m not too upset. We need to be careful what we wish for…can you say Daniel Snyder? Jerry Jones? I’d rather have a quiet group of guys than a loud mouth egomaniac owning the Bucs.
We are now a bit spoiled in Tampa…at least Lightning fans. Jeff Vinik is clearly in the running for greatest professional sports owner in the nation and ever here in Tampa.
He speaks out but only when it’s appropriate. He lets his people do THEIR thing yet it’s clear at the end of the day who is in charge. In addition Bolt fans have a feeling that Vinik is not only a TRUE FAN…but a fan of we fans. I do not believe he looks at the bottom line without first considering the impact on fans and players. He is the very BEST owner.
So with Vinik setting the bar so high the Glazers who are bereft of charisma…unlike Vinik..seem to be otherwise decent guys. Once they got their ManU finances in order they have been generous with the Bucs. They have not hestitated to eat coaches salaries when required.
In short while I totally admire Vinik…it’s no shame for the Glazers…they do their part and I’m a supporter I think their hearts are in the right place.

LaMarcus…..
That is one seriously gay post.
April 7th, 2020 at 3:29 pm
The Glazer’s and BA have Tom sealed inside his thirty-thousand square foot new place going over the books and watching film. Brady and BA are going to be here for two more years and they’re showing off what a lot of Bucs fans (including myself) wanted to return to classic reds and they’ve brought them back almost to-a-t if not better. Very pleased with these. White Godwin or red Lavonte Davis or Mike Evans.
April 7th, 2020 at 3:30 pm
Get a petition together to strongly pressure the Glazers to sell the team to Eddie DeBartolo before he croaks. His recent pardon by Trump puts him in a better light to own a franchise again.
April 7th, 2020 at 3:40 pm
Maybe they want to celebrate the whole team will be wearing new uniforms, not just Tom Brady.
April 7th, 2020 at 3:42 pm
Glazers are going to need a bit more motivation than hundreds of fake signatures to motivate them to sell one of the biggest money-printing operations in the country.
April 7th, 2020 at 3:46 pm
Idk why a lot of folks in here hate jameis too much.
Tom Brady has fans in every city … and so what. Tom Brady just posted a video to “his “ patriots fans.
Until I don’t see Brady or any other future QB take on alit beating from our culture “oline “ and wear and sweat I’ll be a fan of that particular QB. I just can’t be like most of you putting on Pom Pom and being a cheerleader.

April 7th, 2020 at 4:12 pm
I didnt see the problem Joes. Eh, maybe im just missing something….on my 6th beer with the rest of the month off….this is bad news for my liver lol.
April 7th, 2020 at 4:14 pm
WOW!! if you look real close at the uniforms you wont be able to tell the difference. How are these uniforms new
April 7th, 2020 at 4:24 pm
“His recent pardon by Trump puts him in a better light to own a franchise again.”
That’s rich!! You mean he is now as innocent as Sheriff Racist Joe Arpaio…or how about that paragon of virtue Rod Blagevich.
A pardon from Trump proves that A. They were big supporters of Trump…B Donated tons of money or C. Will “trigger” the libs something that seems incredibly valuable to some in our society.
Thankfully Joe is right!!! The Glazers purchased the Vinoy Hotel, including the tennis center and golf course and the very valuable marina. This is a group of the most valuable real estate…and in the case of the Marina..irreplaceable portfolio items in all of Tampa Bay.
IE…Like Vinik the Glazers are INVESTING in our community. As a member of the Vinoy this has been an improvement. They are the third owners in five years…first owners great…second owners the WORST…Culverhouse bad…Glazers back to the original quality.
They’re not going anywhere!!!
April 7th, 2020 at 4:28 pm
Making something out of nothing here but I understand it’s slow. Still…nothing to see here. NEEEEEEXT!!!!
April 7th, 2020 at 4:45 pm
Classy move by the Glazers as usual. If you can’t mention them all, don’t mention any.

Almost no one wanted the orange uniforms back. Why bring back a uniform associated with losing so much? Get real, man.
As to the uniforms, I’m a little disappointed.
The red is not Blood Red, and the dark color is light grey, not Pewter.
The Grey uniforms look awful. Those red outlines stand out too much. That’s where the orange should have come in. The outliine of the numbers.
But even so…these are much better than the junk they’ve been wearing. I can officially start buying jerseys again!

I happen to like the Glazers.
And what kind of sense does it make to sell to a guy who is nearly dead?
April 7th, 2020 at 4:53 pm
I will say this:
The team missed a great opportunity by not showing Brady in each uniform. His wil, after all, be the top selling jersey in the NFL.
April 7th, 2020 at 4:54 pm
ADRNAGY
Wow!
Pretty ignorant when it comes to football I see.
😂
They have the players, for the most part, and the coaches to win. They brought in Bruce to win. The only thing that kept them from being in the playoffs and having 10 or 11 wins during the season last year was Jameis.
After watching five years of this turnover machine, they simply had enough. Take a run at it for the next two years with the greatest quarterback of all time and get a new quarterback to develop underneath him.
Sounds like an excellent decision.
Somehow that bothers you because they gave up on Jameis???
LoL.
Then you go follow Jameis and wait for him to learn how to read a defense and not panic under pressure, I’ll keep rooting for the Buccaneers.
The sad thing is, I was a huge Jameis fan and if they couldn’t get Brady, I wanted them to give him one more year under this offense and these coaches. Getting Brady over him, though, was an absolute no brainer for anyone with any kind of football knowledge.
April 7th, 2020 at 4:55 pm
As for Joe being upset they didn’t mention Brady, whatever. Getting a little nitpicky, who cares?!
The story is they got rid of the extra color through the shoulders and the stupid font on the numbers and brought in a very cool third option- all pewter. Simple and subtle. The change is great
April 7th, 2020 at 5:00 pm
Adrnagy…you don’t need to be a cheerleader…the guy’s won 6 SB’s.
April 7th, 2020 at 5:03 pm
The Bucs equipment manager already has been selling jerseys and helmets on the Black market with the horrible alarm clock numbers. How many of the new versions is he gonna sell now??

Clean House Says
“They did Jameis dirty.”
I would like how you came to this conclusion?
At no point did I witness any inappropriate treatment. He was a free agent, and they moved on. They acknowledged that the Interceptions were a big reason for it.
That’s not doing him dirty.
April 7th, 2020 at 5:06 pm
Morgus the Magnificent,
COVID-19 is not getting better. The President is going to speak in a few minutes, but early reports are that this past week is the worst week the United States has had so far.
Florida jumped a bunch the last day or so.
April 7th, 2020 at 5:11 pm
I was a Jameis supporter and I don’t think he was treated unfairly…
The team stuck with him after he was not honest with the Uber “hassle”….
They gave him a 5th year option….
He is the one who said he was “ballin'” and wanted 30 million….
That cooked his goose…..
If he was treated unfairly….then why is it that no other team has signed him?

About the team that wears the uniform joe! Not one guy! Brady needs us as much as we need him, believe it or not. Its was multiple reasons why he’s not in NE. Not on who was going to fit the Bill.? Mr. accountability might have to be accounted for. Wins will cure the cold, but seeing is believing and this might be the biggest sports to never happen. Lord hope not, love these, best looking jersey (again) in the league.

The Demise of Jameis… Final Act
(dedicated to the Grieving Jameis Fan Club… you know who you are)
Q: Do you really think you should be paid $30M plus as a top 5 QB given your stats?
A: You, sir, would be well served by checking your stat sheet. I’m actually playing ball quite well.
Scene change to Jason and Bruce exchanging “wtf did he just say” looks as they pour over the aforementioned stat sheet… fade to Jameis back on his hometown porch checking his phone… no messages. The end.
No one did Jameis dirty… except Jameis. He had every chance to cement his role as franchise QB and, instead, made an utter mess of it. Oh, and the new unis rock!

Google “University of Washington Covid Model” and you’ll see one of the most respected models/forecasts for Covid-19. Their model estimates we will hit our peak on April 15th and then after that day the curve will flatten and there will a lower and lower infection rate everyday. Their model shows by early June there will be very few new infections on a day to day basis.
April 7th, 2020 at 7:44 pm
FUNNY THING ABOUT JAMEIS…
That no one ever talks about…
There’s the “But 5,000 yards!” statements… and the “But 30 INTs!”
How about this…
How many starting NFL QBs can you name that WERE BENCHED for poor play during the last couple of years?
Jameis Winston was one of them.
“But Peyton Manning had 100 INTs too!!!”
OH YEAH? BUT WAS HE EVER BENCHED? Jameis was.

Love the New Uni’s!! Especially not having to just look at the back of them cause of chasing the opponent running towards the other Endzone after one of Winston’s INT’s or fumbles
April 7th, 2020 at 8:04 pm
Pewter,
FYI, Winston has been signed by the Patriots. They were in a bidding war for winston and outbid the Raiders, Bears, Chargers and Cowboys. 200mil guaranteed. And free lyft for life.
Billichek it was reported today stated there was no way they’d be outbid and now with winston they’ve already begun travel plans to Tampa in February. Looks as though the ardnagy’s , ndog’s and hog’s were right all along.
April 7th, 2020 at 8:45 pm
@ardrnagy…Bruce saw Jameis change nothing for this team. He saw it first hand. In fact, he witnessed Jameis actively hurt this team with the turnovers. He only mentioned it as a negative the last press conference. The fact you think Jameis with his off-field distractions (in the past, granted), losing record, and penchant for killing his team was “done dirty” when Bruce picked the best ever to replace him for the same amount of years he’ll be here is asinine. Bruce tried to get him a job and was refuted.
April 7th, 2020 at 8:45 pm
Joe…the Glazers picked the last uniforms so they kinda had to own the change today. Why do the simplest things perplex you?

That post was totally unlike you. I’ve NEVER read you with juvenile neener neener attacks. What up? You were never a JW supporter. Your last post so eloquently described WHY JW is gone!!! And now you’re hoping NDOG and his boys get the last laugh?
But worst of all was the post itself. I immediately went to google to get that “breaking” story…wait let me check again…All the top stories claim NE has no interest and that indeed BB himself has NO interest.
Now that MAY change tomorrow but tonight you’ve established yourself as a BS artist unless you can produce a credible link.
You also give the appearance of a fake because the D1 I’ve read has NEVER posted that poorly.

I think the Gazers make their investment back with Brady. Stadium attendance, Team paraphernalia, and maybe even a few more games on TV IF..Brady can stay healthy. We shall see. 50 mil though…guaranteed. Hella contract.
