A little Throwback Thursday featuring QB Doug Williams

Take a look at some old highlights of former Bucs QB Doug Williams, who wore No. 12 for Tampa Bay long before Tom Brady.

Tom Brady will be able to keep his TB12 nickname after Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin gave his No. 12 jersey to Brady and switched to No. 14

While Brady may be best known for wearing 12 in New England with the Patriots, he won’t be the first quarterback to don that number for the Buccaneers.

One of Brady’s No 12 predecessors was Super Bowl champion Doug Williams. Williams played for the Buccaneers for five years after being a first-round pick in the 1978 draft. After his stint in Tampa Bay, he went on to the Redskins and led the team to victory in Super Bowl XXII, earning Super Bowl MVP honors along the way.

In honor of Williams (and his days wearing No. 12 for the Bucs) here’s a little highlight reel for Throwback Thursday.

Tom Brady finally hits the field with teammates wearing a Bucs helmet

Here is our first look at Tom Brady hitting the field at a Tampa prep school with some Bucs teammates.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for — a picture of Tom Brady in a Bucs helmet.

When Brady signed with the Bucs back in March, the coronavirus pandemic had already closed down team facilities, and social distancing restrictions prevented Brady from conducting a standard introductory news conference.

While he sent out a message recently expressing his excitement for being a Buc, we haven’t seen him on the field with his new teammates… until today.

Brady, along with several other Bucs players, hit the field together at Tampa’s Berkeley Preparatory School early this morning. Take a look at some photos below, including a closeup of Brady in his new Bucs helmet.

It’s strange to see Brady wearing a different helmet for sure, but his arrival to Tampa now feels official. It’s also great to see O.J. Howard hitting the field with his teammates. There was worry following the trade for Gronk that Howard may feel slighted and want out. Clearly, he’s on board for the Bucs’ championship run in 2020.

Los Angeles Rams are latest team to unveil new uniforms

Take a look at the new uniform design of the Los Angeles Rams.

Tampa Bay ushered in a new era of Bucs football this offseason by signing future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady and ditching their recent uniform redesign for something a bit more traditional.

But the Bucs weren’t the only team to make a change to their look this offseason. The Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers and even Brady’s old team, the New England Patriots, have gotten in on the makeover trend.

Today, the Los Angeles Rams threw their new look out into the wind for people to enjoy (and criticize). Take a look at the new Rams unis below.

They are… fine. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel or make you want to run out and exchange your old Rams jersey for a new one. It’s simple and safe, which is probably for the best. And at least they look more like their classic jerseys from yesteryear.

Adam Rank of NFL.com seems to be a fan of just two new uniform redesigns.

At least the Bucs made his list.

This rookie is topping Tom Brady in jersey sales since the draft

Find out which rookie from the 2020 draft has been topping Bucs QB Tom Brady in jersey sales since the draft.

Tom Brady’s arrival to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers set off some mild controversy when it came to what number he’d wear with his new team. After donning the No. 12 during his 20 years with the Patriots, many wondered whether the future Hall of Famer would get the number from wide receiver Chris Godwin.

In the end, TB12 kept his name and Godwin changed to No. 14. Fans will also be happy to know they won’t have to see Brady in those alarm clock uniforms, as the Bucs unveiled a new look at the beginning of last month, which is a call back to their glory years and easily one of the top uniform redesigns of the offseason.

But while Brady’s Tampa Bay jersey is a hot-ticket item right now, it turns out a newly drafted rookie has been outselling him since the 2020 NFL draft. And, it’s another quarterback playing in Florida: Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa.

Per Nick Shook of NFL.com:

“Tagovailoa is the leading jersey seller in the NFL, according to NFL Shop jersey sales tracked by Fanatics, which powers the league’s merchandising site. Tagovailoa’s aqua No. 1 jersey is selling faster than any other in the NFL, and the white version of that jersey ranks second — ahead of Tom Brady’s new shirts, which come in places 3-5 (with the pewter alternate leading the trio!).

I love the fact that the pewter alternate is the top-selling Brady jersey. Tagovailoa may be the popular new kid on the block right now, but if he can’t stay healthy and produce on the field, those sales numbers will take a hit.

This video message by Tom Brady makes his Bucs arrival feel real

We’ve yet to see Tom Brady in a Bucs jersey, but he sent out a message to fans today that makes his arrival to Tampa Bay feel real.

Tom Brady is the new quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We’ve read and heard that numerous times over the past month. But since the coronavirus pandemic has put normal life on hold, we haven’t seen Brady holding up a Bucs uniform or wearing a Bucs helmet on the field yet.

And while Brady didn’t give us that today, he did send out a message to all Bucs fans saying how excited he is to be a Buccaneer and how welcoming the Tampa community has been to him and his family.

Take a look at the video, which finally makes this Brady thing feel real for fans.

Bucs QB Tom Brady is still getting used to being a Tampa resident

New Bucs QB Tom Brady was caught working out in Tampa in a place he shouldn’t have been.

Tom Brady is the new quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but given the travel restrictions and social distancing requirements brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve yet to see the six-time Super Bowl champion in a Bucs uniform on the field or in the training facility.

While we await that day eagerly, Bucs fans should be glad to hear that Brady is already embracing his new Florida home and surroundings. But, as it turns out, he’s still getting used to the rules of his new city.

Take a look.

Brady spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, so we’ll cut him some slack for not knowing Tampa parks as well as Boston parks yet.

Patriots unveil new uniforms for the post-Brady era

With Tom Brady now a Buccaneer, the New England Patriots decided to change their uniforms for the post-Brady era.

When Tom Brady officially signed his contract to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, many media outlets and gaming companies quickly scrambled to create an image of Brady in a Bucs uniform. You know, those ones with the alarm clock lettering.

Fortunately, Brady won’t have to don that jersey this fall as the Bucs recently unveiled their new threads, which is a call back to their glory days of yesteryear, which included a Super Bowl championship in 2002. Brady will certainly look good in the Bucs color scheme after wearing those outdated Patriots uniforms the entirety of his 20-year career.

And while the Bucs have new unis to usher in the Brady era in Tampa Bay, the Patriots have decided to change their uniforms, as well, to usher in the post-Brady era in New England.

Take a look.

The Patriots promoted their Color Rush uniforms to their primary ones, something fans have been wanting for years since they were first introduced. As I noted the other week, the Patriots were in desperate need of a jersey upgrade and this is a great way to do it. Plus, those old jerseys belong to the Tom Brady era. Let them leave with him.

Tom Brady trademarks ‘Tompa Bay’ and ‘Tampa Brady’ for merchandise use

It appears new Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is taking dad jokes to the extreme.

When it comes to quarterback Tom Brady, it seems you either hate him or love him. For Patriots, and now Buccaneers fans, it’s clear which category they fall into.

But, for those who just don’t seem to like the Golden Boy, here’s some news that may just add a little more fuel to that fire.

Personally, I feel the world would be a better place if we all used puns more in our everyday lives, but this just takes it to an extreme. It’s basically trademarking a dad joke.

What’s even more frustrating about this is that I know I will be buying one of these shirts… or two.

Chris Godwin shows off his new threads and number on Instagram

Take a look at Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin’s latest Instagram story where he puts his new uniform on full display.

When Tom Brady decided to make Tampa Bay his new home, Bucs fans everywhere were thrilled at the thought of having a six-time Super Bowl champion under center for their team. Plus, Brady would have Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at his disposal, both of whom had over 1,000-receiving yards last season.

But, Brady’s arrival also created a somewhat awkward situation for Godwin. The receiver was the owner of Brady’s infamous No. 12 jersey, and had worn the number since his high school days in Delaware and while at Penn State.

Fortunately, Godwin and Brady worked things out, and the receiver gave the future Hall of Famer the number and switched over to No. 14. Now, with the Bucs unveiling new uniforms for 2020, Godwin posted the below image on his Instagram story, showing off not only his new threads, but new number, too.

Take a look.

Tom Brady thank Pats Nation in touching Instagram video

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady shared a video on his Instagram account thanking Patriots fans for their love and support over 20 years.

Tom Brady may be a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now, but the future Hall of Fame quarterback built his legacy with the New England Patriots over the past 20 years.

Brady’s stint with the Patriots is the stuff of Hollywood stories. A sixth-round draft pick who came in to replace injured starter Drew Bledsoe early in the 2001 season and eventually went on to lead the Patriots to nine Super Bowl appearances and six titles before he left New England this offseason.

While Brady won’t be suiting up for the Pats next year, he still has lots of love for the Patriots and their fans, evident by this video he posted recently on his Instagram.

Take a look.
