One note that somehow got past me this summer, but I discovered last week while on the road to Canton, was that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are finally going to unveil their throwback uniforms this season.
For some reason, the Bucs old creamsicle-orange jerseys and Bucco Bruce logo have always been amongst my favorite NFL uniforms–so much so that I even have a Derrick Brooks throwback hanging in my closet.
I haven’t been able to find confirmation, but it appears from the Pewter Report article above that they are targeting the November 8th game against the Green Bay Packers–renewing the old “Battle of the Bays” from the old NFC Central days.
I can only hope that the Bucs throwbacks, combined with the AFL throwbacks to be used this season in honor of the 50th anniversary of the league, and the 49ers going back to a uniform design more in line with their glory days will be the spark needed to finally do away with pastel and monochrome in the NFL.
