The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will throw it back to their roots when they open their 50th NFL season.
The team announced Tuesday that they will wear their original 1976 uniforms in the 2025 home opener against the New York Jets on Sunday, September 21.
Tampa Bay has worn Creamsicle throwbacks in select games since 2009, but this marks the first time since 1976 that the Bucs will wear the exact design from their inaugural season.
“The ’76 Jersey represents a piece of Buccaneers history and serves as a tribute to the generations of fans and players who shaped this franchise,” said COO Brian Ford. “As we launch into our 50th season, we’re proud to reintroduce The ’76 Jersey and the tradition it embodies.”
The uniforms feature white jerseys with orange numbers and red outlines, paired with white pants, white helmets, and striped socks. The look also includes a special touch: “Hey! Hey! Tampa Bay!” stitched inside the collar — a nod to the team’s original fight song from 1979, the year Tampa earned its first winning season and playoff berth.
The return of the original look is part of a broader celebration of the Bucs’ golden anniversary and the journey that began in 1976.
