"Ugliest color scheme" - NFL fans brutally roast Buccaneers' creamsicle throwback uniform

Modified Apr 13, 2023 07:43 GMT

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are harking back to their past by reintroducing their first-ever jerseys. On Wednesday, the reigning NFC South Champions posted a teaser trailer of their old mascot writing "I'm back", ending with their old logo and color scheme, hinting at the return of the orange and red "creamsicle" jerseys the team wore during the Hugh Culverhouse era:

But fans are apparently connecting the dots and thinking it is both ugly and will go hilariously well with their impending return to losing:

What is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' situation heading into 2023?

The creamsicle jerseys are not the only things returning. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also hope to regain their winning ways in a new era.

Besides Brady, running back Leonard Fournette and tight end Cameron Brate are also gone. This will leave the offensive captaincy in the hands of long-serving wide receiver Mike Evans. Additionally, veteran linebacker Lavonte David is staying with the team for another year, giving head coach Todd Bowles' roster additional locker room stability.

Despite all the losses, the Buccaneers are still aiming to be competitive, additionally buoyed by running backs Rachaad White and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, as well as Evans' fellow wideout Chris Godwin. It will be interesting to see where Mayfield takes them in 2023.
