Are Bucs Trying To Start A White Out Tradition?
September 4th, 2026
Road creamsicles return.
The creamsicles will return this fall. Sort of.
The Bucs announced yesterday that the team will break out the throwback uniforms this fall, with a twist.
The Bucs have been in a rut wearing the creamsicles the past few years, with ugly losses. So why not change the luck?
Last year in Seattle, to honor both Seattle and Tampa Bay’s 50th anniversary of entering the league, Seattle hosted a throwback game wearing their gorgeous original threads. Seattle wore those beautiful blue uniforms with the silver pants and helmet while the Bucs broke out the 1976 road creamsicles.
The Bucs beat the Seahawks in one of the most thrilling games of the season, a shootout win against the eventual Super Bowl champs, 38-35.
So the Bucs this year will wear the road creamsicles — all white — at home on Dec. 6 against the Chargers, the Bucs announced yesterday.
If the Chargers wear their old-school power-blues, this could be one of the best uniform games since, well, since the Bucs played the Seahawks last year.
Joe hopes this doesn’t mean the home creamsicles are put in mothballs, but Joe can very much understand how the Bucs may want to shake things up with the bad luck of the home creamsicles.
Joe wonders if this is the Bucs’ attempt to start a whiteout tradition? Years ago Penn State started this — though they still wear those beautiful navy blue jerseys — where the entire crowd wears white.
The Penn State whiteout has become one of the great traditions of college football. Often copied, never duplicated. So with the Bucs wearing the all-white (with orange trim) road creamsicles, will this now become an annual Bucs whiteout game?

Penn St has a different type of whiteout being dealt with at the moment.

The home creamsicles mean losing. Bucs have won exactly one game wearing those, in the Freeman debut against the Packers in 2009. Burn them.

Creamsicles are the worst uniforms in history of sports. They do nothing but represent losing. All this team does is lose wearing them.
Never wear them again. Host a burn party and torch them in the center of raymond james. invite every fan to bring their orange merch and throw it in the fire and hand them a discount coupon to buy something new.
But then again if it helps get rid of Bowles faster wear them all year. Does Bowles really need any help losing double digit games this year. I doubt it.
I can’t wait until Bowles trash defense gives up 50 to the Bengals week one. Already saw its the highest total in week one. Sports books know Bowles pass defense is the worst in the league

I actually like the creamsicle throwback uniforms and logo better than the current one. Both home and away. The all white fresh out of the tunnel before grass stains Is like having a new pair of white tennis shoes the first day.
