Mulling more creamsicles.
Will Bucs fans get to see more of the creamsicles? That is unknown. But this week the NFL changed its rules, allowing the creamsicles to be broken out of mothballs more often.
Just a few months after the NFL reupped its uniform deal with the shady outfit known for destroying uniforms, Nike, the NFL loosened its rules on alternative uniforms and throwbacks.
Coincidence? Yeah, right.
So on Tuesday, Buccaneers owner/co-chairman Joel Glazer spoke to the local pen and mic club. Glazer was asked if the Bucs will take advantage of the new uniform flexibility. Rules now allow any team to wear alternate/throwback uniforms up to four times per season.
Glazer couldn’t hide a wide smile, though he offered no details or commitments.
> “That’s something that just changed I think it was \[Tuesday\],” Glazer said from the owners meetings at the swanky Breakers resort in Palm Beach. “So whenever they do that, you start looking at it and start tossing around ideas.

> “I know our fans like when we have the throwbacks and we have the alternate uniform. So, clearly, we’ll take a look at that, and adjust and adapt.”
Glazer clearly enjoys thinking of what the Bucs could do with the new rules. His body language sure suggested he’s open-minded about mixing things up.
Joe guesses the four-game rule will mean more throwback games where a visiting team also wears throwbacks. However, the Bucs’ old NFC Central rivals, have (thankfully) remained consistent with their uniforms. So if the Bucs wanted to do a throwback with Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay or Minnesota, there wouldn’t be much of a change, if any, for those teams.
And yes, before anyone mentions it, the new rule also clears the way for the Bucs to wear the pewter onesies if they so desire.
