Tampa Bay fans will see an old favorite return as the team announced the return of the creamsicle jersey for the upcoming season. The Buccaneers last wore the jersey in 2012 but will make their return against a former division rival, the Detroit Lions. Both teams played in the old NFC Central division back in the 1990s.
The anticipated return of the classic uniform had Greg Auman of FOX Sports ask fans which player they would purchase the throwback jersey of. It was clear that fans wanted the jersey of wide receiver Mike Evans by a mile. Evans got 53 of the first 100 votes, while linebacker Lavonte David was second with 18.
