It was when the NFL implemented its one-shell rule that the team has not been able to wear their alternate kits since 2012. Fortunately, due to the elimination of the rule last year, every team now has an alternate kit and is also utilizing new colored helmets. Thus, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also needed to pull off their throwback look perfectly.
The uniform is of great significance as it was worn by the first playoff team in 1979. They were just one game short of a Super Bowl appearance after years of entering the National Football League as an expansion franchise. The Buccaneers’ throwback event will also feature some of the most prominent former players and staff. It is also interesting to note how the team is prepared to face the Lions during such a grand event.

Are the Buccaneers ready to face the Lions?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reportedly well-rested since they’ll be playing after a week. They have also had impressive victories this season with their strong defense that ranks 11th in the NFL. However, the team is still a 3.5 underdog against the Jared Goff-led Detroit Lions, who are currently 4-1.
Facing the Lions will be a challenging task. But, one must not forget that the Buccaneers’ star wide-receiver Mike Evans is back from recovery. Both teams are impressively strong and are undoubtedly tough opponents for each other. But the win will go to those who have a better strategy and execute it perfectly. What do you think?
