3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

What Tom Brady wants, Tom Brady gets. Or at least he should.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback has the team playing well in his first season in Florida and there’s one request the six-time Super Bowl-winner has — bring back the creamsicles.

That’s what Brady wants according to Luke Easterling of Bucs Wire. Citing a tweet from ESPN’s Jenna Laine, Easterling said Brady took a picture of a sunset and used the opportunity to ask for them to return to the look they had from the late 70s to the late 1990s.

"“Tom Brady captured a stunning Tampa sunset on his Instagram, and used the colors in the sky to let his team know that he would love to see the return of the team’s original uniforms, which were worn from their first season in 1976 all the way through the 1996 season.” — Easterling, Bucs Wire"

Back in the 1990s, the uniform was called out as dated and some even blasphemously referred to it as ugly — which is simply wrong. Now, the retro look has become something fans all around the NFL — not just fans of the Bucs — are longing to see make a return.

It’s understandable as well since this is one of the best uniforms in existence. The creamsicle by itself is enough, but the ‘Bucco Bruce’ logo is untouchable as well. And what better coach to bring it back under than Bruce Arians?

Unfortunately, Tampa Bay just did re-do their uniforms and while they went retro, they dropped the ball and didn’t go far enough back which means the NFL will make us wait a few years before allowing them to fix this. Oh well, maybe next time.
