History
S3
The franchise was originally founded in the 2018 season by Jiggly as the Chicago Blues. In the first year of the DSFL, the Blues would finish with a league best 10-4 season by closing off a 5 game win streak. On the offensive side the Blues would lead the league in passing offense with 228.6 yards per game. They also finished 3rd in the league for points score per game at 17.4. QB Mark Strike led the team in passing with 3194 passing yards with 11 TD's to 21 INT's. WR Wizard Stephan led the team in receiving with 66 receptions to go with 952 yards and 4 receiving TD's. On the defensive side, the Blues were the epitome of a bend but don't break team. The defense only allowed 16 points per game, effectively being the 2nd best in the league, while the rest of the stats like rushing, passing, and total yards allowed were all last in the league.
In the playoffs, the Blues lost to the Seawolves 14-24 after giving them a 17 point lead and 3 turnovers. It effectively changed the mindset of the team and would seep into the locker room...
S4
Season 4 for the Blues would be marked as a forgettable one as they would finish the season 5-9 including a 4 game losing streak. For the offense, Chicago would finish middle of the league in terms of points per game with 17.5 and total yards a game with 300.7. The Blues were also 2nd in the league with 245 passing yards a game, certainly a lone bright side of the team with how the team finished. QB Mark Strike would again lead the team in passing with 3341 passing yards and this time with 16 TD's and 17 INT's, leading to more of an efficient season for him. WR Wizard Stephan again led the team in receiving with 70 receptions, 1015 yards, and 4 TD's to show off a minor improvement for himself. For the defense, it was a phase to forget as they were dead last in the league in nearly all phases except for passing. They allowed 19 points with 323 total yards and 116.7 rushing yards per game. On the passing defense they were in the middle of the pack with 206.3 yards per game allowed.
With Jiggly moving on, the Blues would be disbanded and be under new management. But there were dark times ahead...
Rebranding and S5-S14 (The Bot Years)
The franchise went through a rebrand in the 2020 season by coach Booter as the Palm Beach Solar Bears. They got off to an incredible start under coach Booter, going 8-5-1 and winning the Ultimini in their first season (S5) 17-13 against the Portland Pythons with an all bot team. Unfortunately, this instant success was more a flash in the pan than anything as the team went on to win 31 games in the next 9 seasons, an average of a little over 3 wins a season.
S15
In the 15th season, the Solar Bears had enough players to be able to be a non-bot team. From there, they would actually be a somewhat successful team. They would finish at 7-6-1, which would land them the 2nd seed in the playoffs. For the Solar Bears offense, it would actually perform at a solid level by being 3rd overall in the league. They would be able to score almost 21 points a game with 360 total yards of offense a game. As for the rushing and passing offense, they would accumulate 196 rushing yards per game and 164 passing yards a game, which ranked 2nd and 3rd in the league respectively. On the defensive side, they did not perform as well as their counterpart. They were 5th overall in the league with over 22 points allowed per game and a league worst 351 yards allowed per game.
As the 2nd seed, they would upset the Tijuana Luchadores 34-23 by jumping to a 17-0 lead in the 1st quarter. They would then blow out the Portland Pythons 37-17 to claim their second Ultimini. With the second Ultimini in their belt, it looked like they were finally going to be able to be a consistent franchise. Unfortunately, that would not be the case.
S16 (Bot Year)
The Solar Bears were unable to keep most of there players and sadly had to be a bot team once again. This sustained lack of players caused the General Managers to vacate their positions in the middle of the 2032 season. Two of the only players that seemed to care stepped up at this time and chose to be the leaders of this franchise when their own management could not.
Rebrand (Myrtle Beach)
After the demoralizing experience of having their old management walk out on them, the new General Managers felt that a relocation and rebrand would be the best thing for the team. They swapped beaches and went to the opposite side of the country to Myrtle Beach and went from the Solar Bears to the Buccaneers. Their colors switched from orange and purple to green and purple in the process and a new team was formed. They had a new state of the art facility built and dubbed it The Brig.
S18
The first season in Myrtle Beach did not go very well as the team only managed to win two games. However there was a renewed vigor and life to the team
Final Rebrand (Bondi Beach)
