Tampa Bay Buccaneers New Era 50th Anniversary 9FIFTY Snapback Hat - Black
A little more than 50 years ago, the National Football League awarded a franchise to Tampa Bay, Florida.
At one point in 1977, the second season they were in the league, they were 0-12 after finishing 1976 with a 0-14 record.
By 1979, they were 10-6 and won their first playoff game, beating the Eagles 24-17 and then losing to the Rams 9-0 in a bid to go to the Super Bowl.

Two decades later, the Bucs would hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the first time, clobbering the Raiders 48-21 thanks to a legendary defense that featured four future Hall of Famers.
Nearly two more decades after that, another dominant defensive performance and another MVP outing from Tom Brady would give the Bucs a second world championship. They beat the Chiefs 31-9.
The franchise features 11 Pro Football Hall of Famers and 14 members in its Ring of Honor. There are six players and coaches in both the Hall of Fame and the Buccaneers Ring of Honor: Ronde Barber, Derrick Brooks, Tony Dungy, John Lynch, Warren Sapp and Lee Roy Selmon.
To mark the franchise’s golden anniversary, Fanatics has released a variety of merchandise, including T-shirts, jackets and caps.
