Tampa Bay Buccaneers Unveil New Throwback Creamsicle Jerseys For 2023 season
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing back an iconic uniform combination in 2023 for the first time in over a decade. The team previously announced the return of the Creamsicle uniforms earlier this year which will make their debut on Sunday, October 15 in Week Six against the Detroit Lions.

On Wednesday, the Buccaneers released their first look at the new Creamsicle uniforms. It's safe to say that they were more than worth the wait.
Tampa Bay hasn't donned the vintage look since 2012 after an NFL rule that limited teams to use only one helmet for each player for the season. That language has been updated, paving the return for a uniform combination that the Buccaneers wore for the first two decades of the franchise's existence from 1976-1996. The look has been altered slightly but it still pays homage to the team's roots.
"The return of our beloved Creamsicle uniforms for this special game is something that our fans have been passionate about for many years, and we are excited to celebrate the history of our franchise with a unique, dedicated Creamsicle gameday experience," Bucs Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford said according to Buccaneers.com in June. "This is more than a throwback game; it is a celebration of our legacy and some of the great moments and players that make our story so special to our fans."
The franchise is pulling out all the stops to make the contest against Detroit in October a true step back into the past. The Buccaneers are going to dress up Raymond James Stadium similar to the team's original home, Tampa Stadium, which was demolished in 1999. The makeover will include retro field stencils, stadium bunting, and video board assets.
