After a long offseason of buildup, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally unveiled their new creamsicle uniforms.
The team released a video narrated by Pro Football Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks to show the world the throwback uniforms that are a nod to the ones worn in the 70s through the 90s.
The Buccaneers are planning to wear the creamsicle uniforms during their Week 6 matchup versus the Lions.
Brooks, who wore the Buccaneers uniform for all 14 years of his NFL career, was one of the last players to wear the creamsicle uniform before they discontinued it.
The former linebacker won a Super Bowl, earned the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, the NFL defensive MVP award and 11 Pro Bowl nominations while with Tampa Bay. He was an obvious choice for the team for their big unveiling moment.
The Bucs’ Oct. 15 meeting with the Lions comes in Week 6 of the NFL season, but will be the Bucs’ fifth game of the 2023 campaign. It comes one week after a bye.
Tampa Bay sported the Creamsicle uniforms from 1976-96 before switching to the pewter and red. The uniform is complete with the old-school “Bucco Bruce” logo on the helmet.
