Bucco Bruce Meets Jameis
September 22nd, 2015
Jameis’ dad is sitting on a fashion trend setter.
Credit Seminole High grad Jeff Darlington of NFL Network for grabbing a photo of this sweet Bucs shirt.
And the owner of the shirt is none other than Jaboo, Sr., the father of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.
Antonor Winston was hanging outside the Bucs’ locker room Sunday after Tampa Bay beat the Saints, and he was wearing a Bucco Bruce creamsicle shirt. The only difference is, Bucco Bruce’s likeness is Jameis.

That shirt may or may not be legal by NFL standards, as it is using an NFL likeness, that being Bucco Bruce. A spoof t-shirt company has been selling them for months. They claim it was a “hand-drawn” piece of “comical original art.”
But if Antonor Winston could get permission by the Bucs and the company to produce more of those shirts, he could make a killing.

The original logo was the work of Tampa artist Lamar Sparkman who drew the very popular Ali-Gator illustrations that appeared in the Tribune back in the 70s…..I know that the Benjamin School over in North Palm Beach uses this logo….
Wouldn’t think Winston’s pop needs to be out there schlepping t-shirts

With decals being what they are…..cant that come up with a total helmet covering decal that is white with the old Bucco Bruce logo?
And it would look cool for the guys in the trenches with theirs all banged & ripped up and you see tears with the pewter underneath.
But I would wait till Jamies is no longer a rookie and the Bucs win games ona regular basis.

It’s legal. It’s not bucco bruce. It’s Jameis in a hat like bruce…which is considered a parody. Which is permitted under law.

Satire is always in the likeness (think snl dressing up like obama) perfectly legal.

The dagger should be replaced by a crab leg. I’m not hating, I’m embracing it and think it would be hilarious.

I saw this last night and was going to e-mail Joe the link, but forgot about it. Glad you found it Joe. The shirt is awesome and hilarious at the same time. Love it!
