The Buccaneers will rock throwback “Creamsicle” uniforms vs. the Lions in Week 6

The last time the Detroit Lions won a division title, they still played in the NFC Central. One of those divisional foes was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

That was back in 1991, a year when the Lions finished 12-4 and the Buccaneers brought up the back of the old division at 3-13. Those Buccaneers at least looked good despite all the losing. The “creamsicle” orange uniforms with the pirate on the helmet were classics.

The Buccaneers are bringing those back for the first time in over a decade when Tampa Bay hosts the Lions in Week 6. The Bucs haven’t worn the classic uniforms since 2012.

The two teams were part of the NFC Central from 1977 — the Buccaneers’ second season of existence — until the NFC moved to 4-team divisions in 2002. They have not rocked the throwback uniform against the Lions before.
