Road Creamsicles Coming?
July 5th, 2025
Road throwbacks?
Joe is a huge fan of the creamsicles. But once, maybe twice a year is fine.
Unfortunately, the NFL wants to go full-blown Oregon where each team wears weird uniforms every other week. What happened to brand recognition? What happened to walking into a bar, seeing a TV or surfing at home and knowing immediately who is playing? Now, especially at a bar, you sometimes need five minutes to figure out who is playing?
Brand recognition, man! Identity! Image!
So, per John Breech of CBS, the Bucs are set to unveil a week from Tuesday, July 15, a new alternate uniform that is rumored to be a road alternate. You know, the white creamsicles.
For Joe, the keyword here is “road,” if the rumor is true. Joe’s seen games with visiting teams wearing throwbacks along with the home team. Do the Bucs plan to wear white throwbacks in a road game and the creamsicles at home against the Dixie Chicks on Dec. 11?
The white creamsicles were OK. The home creamsicles are beautiful classics!
Despite Joe loving the creamsicles, Joe’s getting worn out with the weirdo uniforms. With the exception of one home game a year, stick with the classics! The classics are classics for a reason.
Some of these throwbacks are absolute eyerakes. For example, Joe might punch a hole in the wall if the Bucs ever bring back those Jameis Winston alarm clock numbers.

Against Seattle would be nice. 50 year, expansion anniversary.

We’ve won one game in those horrid atrocities – Josh Freeman’s debut against Green Bay.
Why.
July 5th, 2025 at 12:35 am
I’m not concerned they’ll ever bring the Jameis era atrocities. The Glazers recognized the error and dumped them.
Road alternate – could it be the white jersey with creamsicle pants combo?

That’s about the word to call those things.

“Jameis Winston alarm clock numbers.”
.
.
The only uniforms that were worse than those are the neon red “color rush” unis. They looked like pajamas.
July 5th, 2025 at 2:12 am
Those were HORRIBLE. Joe was in the press box for the final NFL game in St. Louis for that game and those ketchup and mustard bottle uniforms those teams wore that night took civilization back 80 years. What a garish display by the NFL.

“getting worn out with the weirdo uniforms”
Ditto that Joe! Nike has lost it and so has the NFL. This football dang it!
Go Bucs!

“What happened to walking into a bar, seeing a TV or surfing at home and knowing immediately who was playing? Now, especially at a bar, you sometimes need five minutes to figure out who is playing?“
That uh scoreboard thingy permanently affixed during gameplay comes in handy… you’d have to be at least 2 sheets to the wind not to figure it out in 5 seconds these days.
July 5th, 2025 at 4:26 am
This is truly exciting news. Can’t wait for the update and pics.
Agree, if they were to bring back digital clock numbers, we all will be screaming out loud.

the one uniform I miss is the pewter and red which also happened to be worn by some of my favorite Bucs players of the past.
July 5th, 2025 at 6:47 am
JBF…in all fairness, we don’t wear the classics like we should. I’m not sure if there is another team in the NFL that DOES NOT wear the home jersey as often as we do, and it doesn’t matter what time of year it is, it’s warm enough where our Bucs leadership still sees it as an advantage. I think this started with Arains/Bowles era. During the lost decade, we had a LOT of 1 pm games, and I thought we at least saw home reds 5-6 times a season. I’m not exaggerating when I say the Bucs wore reds 4 times last season, 2 was during a primetime game I believe.
17 games is a lot, I’m good with a home and away creamsicle. I also would like to see the all-Pewter back. That was one of the better alternates.
July 5th, 2025 at 6:54 am
The all whites are awesome. Reflect that sun back where it belongs!
July 5th, 2025 at 6:56 am
All white Creamsicle was my favorite look for the Bucs back in the day…..
Having the Bucs and Seahawks wear throwbacks in Seattle makes a lot of sense in celebration of both teams 50th anniversary….
July 5th, 2025 at 7:58 am
I’ve got PTSD from all the creamsicle losses, they should be worn in preseason only.
July 5th, 2025 at 8:21 am
Leighroy, I was thinking the same thing.
These days the score is at the bottom corner almost the whole game with little abbreviations of the teams city.
It could take you 5 minutes to figure out who’s playing if can you start watching during halftime or an end of quarter commercial break.
But yeah, some of the colors are ridiculous. Bucky & Tez are probably used to this from their college days of wearing construction worker colors… and a whole lot of other colors.

I’ve been a Bucs fan for 40 years, and I have no idea why people still like the creamsicle uni’s. They represent a time period of mostly terrible football, and the color scheme and logo are ugly in my opinion.
One of the greatest days in franchise history was the day we announced and introduced our new pewter and red uni’s.
July 5th, 2025 at 8:53 am
I am with JimBobBuc and Aqualung on the Creamsicles. If we do a throwback, lets do one from 1997 when the Bucs shut down The Sombrero with a playoff win vs Detroit, not the uniforms that represented cheapskate Hugh Culverhouse and many seasons of losing football. Let Bucco Bruce stay retired in Key West during the regular season. If we have to do a Creamsicle throwback, break them out for a pre-season game……..
July 5th, 2025 at 8:56 am
Let’s get “full blown Oregon!” Away creamsicles (pictured), pewter pants (with that old school orange n red stripe pictured above), pewter dome with an orange flag.
I agree with Joe about classic looks being easily identifiable; that’s what made the creamsicles so great. No other team (except TN) had a similar shade of orange….how many teams can you name with red jerseys? KC, ATL, now Buffalo, AZ, SF, HOU, I’m pretty sure I’ve even seen the Patriots in red, and let’s not even get started on college
July 5th, 2025 at 9:04 am
Actually, the worst one’s were the solid pewter/gray with white numbers with the red outline. A good change for the throw backs would be Bucco Bruce white tops and orange pants, this combo hasn’t been seen lately.
July 5th, 2025 at 9:16 am
The road game should be attached to when the home team is wearing their throwbacks. Having throwback v current is silly. So each team would have 1 home and 1 away.
July 5th, 2025 at 9:46 am
Profit margin on clothing is massive and new styles bring in new buyers so uni changes are very lucrative for the league and the team. Looking forward to July 15.
July 5th, 2025 at 9:49 am
The white uniform was the original and only uniform the Bucs wore when they started home or away and the Orange jersey introduced shortly after if I recall it right.
July 5th, 2025 at 9:50 am
And personally if I was wearing a throw back as a player I would want to destroy the opponent to make up for all the crap that came before in that uniform.
July 5th, 2025 at 10:39 am
i mentioned it in a post a week or so ago…
no uni post gets past me, so gotta chime in…!
17 game seasons are just weird…imagine 16 games…lol…whoda thunk 16 might just work…lol
anyway…
16 games:
– 6 white jersey
– 6 red jersey
– 2 throwback creamsicle
(whatever mix and match craving your lil heart desires)
– 2 pewter color rush uniforms
(bring those bad boys back- wtf happened to them)
as for a 17th game…do whatever they want…white jersey, red jersey, or the pewter color rush…
but whatever you do…never let those alarm clock jameis jerseys resurface again…we all know what time it is
July 5th, 2025 at 10:42 am
also i’m not for the creamsicle all white look…
the all white look in the current unis is simple the worst too…
but the all white throwback topped off with the white bucco bruce helmet is simply OD…
do the orange pants with the white jersey…that’s cool…gotta have some significant orange in there…to meet the criteria
July 5th, 2025 at 11:10 am
If they really wear those hideous skins more than once, I’m listening to the games with Gene and Dave Moore. It’s hard to read the numbers, and Gene has trouble knowing who has the ball anyway. It might just be the time where Dave has The Big Meltdown!
July 5th, 2025 at 12:23 pm
Yeah, I don’t have a problem with it. I would be at a four game max though, throughout an 18-game regular season (it’s coming sooner than later)… All whites for a game, all orange for another, then a game each with orange tops and white bottoms, & vice-versa. Wonder when the NFL will be next with their version of the “city-connects” like MLB!? When they do I’m only onboard for just ‘one-game’ ONLY (outta 18). Well, maybe two LoL depending on what they look like. I’m actually not a fan of having all of these (hundreds) of uniform combinations… Especially, in college. And now, I’m hearing about colleges (LSU) wearing advertisements, & etc. Just a HORRIBLE idea. Before you know it teams will start looking like professional soccer teams. AWFUL. The NHL caved and REALLY blew-it by taking away the teams logos off of their HELMETS. I mean, how PATHETIC. Seriously. What a joke. Those Lightning helmets (and entire uniform combo) during that outdoor match with Nashville a couple of years ago, were THE BOMB with that lightning bolt!!!! It’s such a shame that the NHL sold-out like that, as did the Lightning with that God-AWFUL “TGH.” It’s really Pathetic.

Wearing away creamsicles on the road vs a giant team wearing their throwbacks would be sick. The whites would look fabulous
July 5th, 2025 at 1:01 pm
I still think we should replace the skull and put Bucco Bruce on the flag.
July 5th, 2025 at 1:55 pm
Bring on the creams!
July 5th, 2025 at 2:17 pm
We can wear any uniform they want. Just win!!!
July 5th, 2025 at 3:06 pm
Who cares what they wear just win baby!!

Good Al Davis reference, Oneil. That’s says it all.
July 5th, 2025 at 5:06 pm
different ownership , different gm, different players dont hate on nice unis because the team sucked back then. there was a time bucs couldnt win in the cold but that changed also.
July 5th, 2025 at 6:27 pm
Would absolutely love it. It’s our history!
July 5th, 2025 at 11:00 pm
I still prefer the red and pewter.
July 5th, 2025 at 11:05 pm
adam from ny Says:
“– 2 pewter color rush uniforms
(bring those bad boys back- wtf happened to them)”
NFL switched from Reebok to Nike. Apparently, Nike is unable to produce them.
July 5th, 2025 at 11:10 pm
“ketchup and mustard”
.
.
LOL. I had forgotten about that. Ugh
July 5th, 2025 at 11:57 pm
I would be a creamsicle fan if we would ever win a gain while wearing them but sadly we don’t. So theres that. So playing Falcons at night with creamsicles on is not good.
July 6th, 2025 at 2:35 am
Should be the full time uniform, maybe have a throwback to the 1997 original Reebok uniforms with the proper shade of pewter and helmet.
Seriously Nike is so stupid, they can’t even get the pewter right, removed most of the gold tint from it.
July 6th, 2025 at 6:02 am
We gonna see the orange pants? Loved it when those came out!
Go Bucs!
July 6th, 2025 at 7:15 pm
If I won 100 billion dollars, I’d buy the Bucs and reinstate the Creamsicle uniforms. I’d swap up Bucco Bruce, however, as the secondary logo and utilize one of our other current minor logos as primary. The skull and crossbones would be history as a standalone.
Creamsicle
Pirate ship
Cannons
Parrots
Open to other suggestions but no changes to the above plans.
