Who doesn’t love a team that leans into the pirate life?
Founded in 1976, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (aka the Bucs) may have started as the NFL’s lovable underdogs (hello, 0-26 start), but they’ve certainly made their mark since. With two glorious Super Bowl wins (XXXVII in 2003 and LV in 2021 — at home, no less!), the Bucs have transformed into gridiron legends, especially with stars like Tom Brady, Mike Evans, and Lavonte David making headlines.
Their swashbuckling mascot, Captain Fear, and the iconic red and pewter colors make them instantly recognizable!
