BUCCO BRUCE ORANGE ERA 1976-1996

The Very beginning, Orange Tops and White Pants were the norm. The very first year, Orange numbers were used, this was changed to red numbers after the first season; however in the early 90′s the Bucco Bruce logo was slightly enlarged, and in 1992 Sam Wyche started wearing Orange Pants and White tops.

1976 and NFL films was recording a player getting cut. 30 years later, they find him to show him the footage.

1982 week 4, Monday Night Football comes to Tampa, as do the Miami Dolphins with their undefeated record. The Bucs were winless at 0-3. Awesome interview with Doug Williams.

1982 week 6, the Bucs are visiting Shea Stadium for the last time, and they are welcomed by…SNOW! Bucs and snow do not mix, yet James Wilder manages a first down none the less!

1982 vs Buffalo Bills, first of three straight home games the Bucs MUST win to reach the Playoffs. Bills are driving…this happens…

1992-2 Brett Favre records his first completion vs the Bucs, and you wouldnt believe who its to.

1992 week 2, and while this was Brett Favres first day, this game was Vinny Testeverde’s finest hour as a Buc. He had one of the best days statistically as a pro, and this span shows it all. One has to wonder ‘what if’ Vinny ever had a supporting cast, like he did in Cleveland or New York.
