Bring Back The Creamsicles!
November 10th, 2009
Joe is known to frequent a watering hole a short walking distance from his abode for Monday Night Football.
Virtually every person, including the manager of said establishment (named for a certain very famous Bucs player — Joe knows executives of said establishment read Joe, so let’s talk turkey and Joe will pimp your place heavily for a modest reimbursement), thought the Bucs creamsicles looked cool in person, and great in HD.
Seems quite clear Bucs fans would like to see the creamsicles again.
Seems the feeling is mutual with quite a few Bucs players not named Jeff Faine. eye-RAH! Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune documented how a number of players were fond of the creamsicles.
“I wouldn’t mind wearing them again at all,” said linebacker Geno Hayes, whose blocked punt contributed to Tampa Bay’s 38-28 triumph against Green Bay at Raymond James Stadium.
For defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson, the retro-jerseys were both comfortable and stylish.
“I like ’em,” he said. “We’ll see what they have in store for us down the line. I thought it was a good fit and the colors to me actually made it feel like a lighter weight. It was like you stepped into a secretary’s office here and saw all the pictures from the early days of the franchise. It felt like we were part of old-school Sundays.”
Joes hopes wearing the creamsicle throwbacks was not just a one-game deal, not to be brought out again for a decade. If nothing else, the Bucs cheerleaders looked especially hot in their swashbuckler attire.

Joe, it will all depend on how much money the Glazers made Sunday. If numbers are up we will wear them again. If numbers are down whoever came up with the creamsicle idea will be canned. I wonder if the Glazers know who won the game?

Clearly, the throwback game was a huge success, although I have to disagree with your earlier post Joe: Raheem was right to move off the topic of uniforms–it shows he is focused on other things, which is good.
I also think there is a difference between calling for wearing orange for the rest of the season/wearing them forever and wearing them once or twice a season.
I hope they wear them sparingly. No doubt, the Bucs looked great this past Sunday. But we want the throwbacks to remain special. Personally, I think most Tampanians got a real thrill out of the game, but how long until the mass media starts to ride us for the orange?
Also, I was really disappointed that uniwatchblog did not have the creamsicles on the front page! No love for Tampa?

Joel Glazer was at the game and was in the locker room when Rah walked in. If you saw the look and hug that Joel gave Rah on tv it all but settled it for me that he will still be coach next year. I dont think the Bucs could wear the orange again this year without fines from the NFL.

pretty sure you’re allowed to wear alternate jerseys twice a year.
