Twitter reacts to the Buccaneers’ new uniforms

See how fans reacted on Twitter to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ fresh new look.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveiled their new uniforms today, and it’s a callback to their unis they wore prior to the 2014 redesign.

The new (or classic) look is a welcome return for the franchise heading into 2020 as they seek to make a triumphant return to the postseason for the first time since 2007. And, with quarterback Tom Brady now under center, there’s a good chance they’ll be able to make that happen.

Buccaneers unveil new uniforms to usher in the Tom Brady era

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveiled their new uniforms today, which will help kick off the Tom Brady era in Tampa.

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveiled their old redesigned uniforms back in 2014, the reactions were swift and harsh. The sleek, classic pewter and red look was gone, instead replaced by a futuristic design with alarm clock numbers.

Suffice it to say, the new look did not age well, which is why the Bucs made the decision to correct that error this offseason. Today, they unveiled their new look, which you can check out below.

What a difference. A new look for a new era. Thank goodness we won’t have to see Tom Brady in alarm clock numbers next year. In fact, this new look may make Brady look even better than he did in a Patriots jersey.

Just saying.

Tom Brady jerseys are for sale … well, kind of

Fans can pre-order their new Tom Brady Buccaneers jersey, but will have to wait to see what the number and design is.

Tom Brady is a Buccaneer, meaning fans everywhere will be lining up to get their new Brady-Bucs threads whenever they become available.

While Brady’s No. 12 jersey with the New England Patriots was a hot-ticket item every year, it remains to be seen whether or not he’ll be donning the No. 12 in Tampa Bay, since it already belongs to wide receiver Chris Godwin.

Some sites seem to believe Brady wearing his famous number is all but certain, but today, Brady jerseys are available for pre-order, and it’s clear the debate about his number is still alive and well.

Take a look.

Doesn’t matter what number Brady wears next season in Tampa Bay, so long as he can help increase the number in the win column for the Bucs. Also, since the team is unveiling their redesigned uniforms next month, we don’t know what Brady’s jersey is really going to look like.

But, if you want to order a plan white jersey with a big fat ‘0’ and Brady on the back, you’re in luck today!

Is Tom Brady already enjoying that Florida lifestyle?

Tom Brady’s Instagram story seems to indicate that he and his family are already adapting to his new NFL home.

The coronavirus pandemic has made this NFL free agency period one of the most peculiar we’ve seen in quite some time, namely because we’ve yet to have introductory news conferences for some of the big-name players that have switched teams.

Case in point? Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While the six-time Super Bowl champion officially signed his contract last week to come to Tampa to play for Bruce Arians and one of the league’s best offenses, we’ve yet to hear or see Brady address the media — other than on the phone — with a Bucs helmet sitting right in front of him.

Perhaps that’s why it still feels a little surreal for some to imagine the future Hall of Famer suiting up for a team other than the New England Patriots. But, while we wait on Brady to speak from the Bucs’ facility, we can at least follow him on Instagram, where his recent story seems to indicate he may already be enjoying that Florida lifestyle with his family.

Take a look.

Brady doesn’t specify where he is exactly (probably a good idea), but that certainly looks like Florida, at least more so than California. If it is in fact the Sunshine State, it’s nice to see Brady’s family adapting to his new NFL home already.

See how Bucs players reacted to seeing the team’s new uniforms

If you’re excited about the Buccaneers’ new jerseys, wait until you see how players reacted when they got a sneak peek.

Tom Brady isn’t the only reason Buccaneers fans should be excited about the 2020 season. The team will also unveil new uniforms next month, ditching the alarm clock numbers (we hope) in favor of something a little less futuristic.

While fans will have to wait a little longer to get a glimpse of the team’s new threads, players were treated to a sneak peek of their new uniforms. Check out the video below, courtesy of the Bucs’ Twitter account, to see their reactions.

The question we are all wondering is who will be wearing No. 12 in the fall — Chris Godwin or Tom Brady?

Chris Godwin, Tom Brady and the No. 12 jersey

Now that quarterback Tom Brady is heading to the Buccaneers, will wide receiver Chris Godwin hand over the infamous No. 12 jersey?

Now that Tom Brady has officially signed his contract to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s time to address the elephant in the room: that No. 12 jersey.

As I wrote the other week before Brady announced his decision to leave the New England Patriots, the Bucs’ potential signing of the Golden Boy could make things awkward for Pro Bowl receiver Chris Godwin, who dons the No. 12 jersey for Tampa Bay. Brady wore 12 his entire 20-year career with the Pats and made it part of his infamous TB12 brand.

So, now that Brady is officially Tampa bound, what will Godwin do? The receiver answered that question in a video interview with the Bucs’ website.

Per Godwin:

“Obviously if he doesn’t want it, or if he’s not making a big deal out of it, I’m definitely going to keep it. We’ll see how that goes. I think just out of respect for what he’s done, what he’s accomplished, just kind of the career he’s built for himself, you have to lean into that respect.”

Godwin has worn the No. 12 since his high school days. Brady, who wore No. 10 at Michigan, wanted that number when he joined the Pats, but it was already taken. Turns out it was the Patriots’ then-equipment manager who assigned Brady No. 12.

Even if Brady wanted No. 10, that number is already taken by wide receiver Scotty Miller. It should be interesting to see which number Brady eventually lands on. But, one thing is for sure, you can bet his Bucs jersey will be one of the top sellers in the league next year.
