Bucs Revive 'Creamsicle' Throwbacks for TNF in Rare Color-on-Color Clash With Falcons

The look drew on-air praise from Al Michaels during the Prime Video broadcast.

Overview

  • Tampa Bay took the field in its 1976-inspired Creamsicle set with the classic Bucco Bruce helmet as part of the franchise’s 50th-season celebration.
  • Atlanta paired red throwback helmets with black jerseys, creating a color-vs-color matchup without a team in white.
  • CBS Sports reported this was the first NFL game in two years without a white jersey and one of the few non-Color Rush color-on-color games since 2021.
  • Al Michaels endorsed the Buccaneers’ uniforms on the broadcast, quipping that some throwbacks are "throw-up" uniforms but he was "buying" these.
  • ESPN and USA TODAY noted the Bucs reintroduced throwbacks in 2023, wore white road throwbacks in Weeks 3 and 5 this season, and CBS Sports reported the Creamsicles were slated for one appearance in 2025.
