<p>The Glazer family runs the Buccaneers and Manchester United, and therefore the Buccaneers are often a team that comes up when talking heads throw around the idea of an NFL team moving to London. But what if every team moved to the United Kingdom, and the league decided to re-work its logos?</p>
<p><a href="http://daveartlocker.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-if-all-nfl-logos-were-british.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dave&#8217;s Art Locker</span></a> released a full set of NFL logos featuring a overdone British theme, feeding into stereotypes in a very funny and tongue-in-cheek fashion. The Buccaneers logo looks a bit like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/Buccingham-Bucs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9437" title="Buccingham Bucs" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/Buccingham-Bucs-300x319.png" alt="" width="300" height="319" /></a></p>
<p>Be sure to check out the link for more of the logos. They&#8217;re all worth a look. The artist is David Rappoccio, and he&#8217;s done similar mock ups in the past. Check out his creative take on the Bucs uniforms, and Buccaneer Bruce with Peyton Manning&#8217;s face:</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/Buccs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9439" title="Buccs" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/Buccs-300x591.png" alt="" width="300" height="591" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/BuccoMan2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9438" title="BuccoMan2" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/50/files/2013/02/BuccoMan2-300x314.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>Check out the rest of his work <a href="http://daveartlocker.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">at his blog</a>. It&#8217;s really good. What do you think, Bucs fans? I would hate to see the team move to the UK, but the logo is pretty awesome. The Peyton Buccaneer Bruce face is quite creepy, but gave me a chuckle. Let us know what you think in the comments below.</p>
