Tampa Bay


Buccaneers
(Game Helmet)

For most of the teams existence they flew the teams old colors and the bright orange face of debonair Buccaneer mascot "Bucco Bruce".  Unfortunately the rare named decal has and always will be synonymous with losing.  The helmet above is a fully padded Bike shell with the rare orange mask.  Suspension helmets were on the way out in the mid 70's and only the "old school" Steve Spurrier still placed it on his head.  Though in vain, Steve suited up and played all of the then 14 games.  He left after the inaugural season and the team would not win its first game until the 27th try.
