Creamsicle uniform will sink the Bucs on Sunday

The Creamsicles are back!

Tampa Bay will wear its throwback Creamsicle orange uniforms Sunday when the Panthers play the Bucs in Tampa, harking back to those glorious days when the Bucs once lost 26 games in a row and head coach John McKay, when asked about his team's execution, quipped that he was in favor of it.

It's actually part of a whole throwback theme. The loudspeakers will be blaring music from the 1970s and the Bucs will induct former tight end Jimmie Giles from their early days into their Ring of Honor.

I've always liked Tampa Bay’s Creamsicle uniforms myself – they are among the weirdest uniforms in sports history, joining the uniforms of the 1970s-era Pittsburgh Pirates (remember the caps?) and the 1980s-era Houston Astros. And being dressed like an ice-cream popsicle fits these Bucs, because Tampa Bay has again become one of the NFL season’s biggest disappointments.

After starting 4-2, Tampa Bay has lost five straight games. Head coach Raheem Morris was asked by reporters about his job security this week – that’s never a good sign. Only Indianapolis (11 games) and San Diego (six) are currently limping through longer losing streaks.

At least the Bucs have throw back uniforms. Maybe one day the Panthers will get new uniforms so they could actually have some too.

Panthers don't need throwback uniforms when the current ones look fine. With those creamsicle uniforms, no wonder they changed. Those are frankly embarrassing. Then again so were the Bucs for most of their franchise history.

Not much that is good can be said about the Creamsicle uniforms. Most people are glad they are gone and would not want to go back to them.

The consensus seems to be that wearing them once a year is okay. They do represent some pretty ugly times but they also bring back fond memories of days gone by. Each person has their own memory and it varies from person to person. An example would be something like, My dad took me to Buc games when I was a kid and the Bucs were wearing those jerseys.
