So how come Atlanta gets a throwback uniform and the Bucs do not? Since the Falcons’ brand-new helmet fits with their throwback appearance, and the Bucs’ does not. Tampa Bay wishes to restore the creamsicle appearance, however can’t– an orange jersey without the appropriate helmet would look ludicrous.
For those questioning, the #Buccaneers wish to restore the creamsicle throwbacks however are waiting on the NFL to raise the “one-shell rule.”
So no throwback for 2020.

The NFL currently has a one-helmet guideline that’s remained in location considering that2013 A memo was sent that described the factors why, and it mainly deals with safety issues.
From the memo:
Our Head, Neck, and Spinal column Committee, chaired by Drs. Hunt Batjer and Richard Ellenbogen, and the Gamer Safety Advisory Panel, chaired by John Madden and Ronnie Lott, have advised that players no longer use various helmets as part of a “Throwback” or “Third”uniform Our office has and supports this modification examined it with the chairman of our Health and wellness ownership committee, Dr. John York, who concurs with this suggestion. We have interacted the modification to those teams that are preparing to use throwback uniforms for a minimum of one game this season. Teams might continue to use throwback uniforms under league standards, however players need to use their routine helmets. The outside of the helmet can be customized by getting rid of or changing decals, as long as it does not impact the stability of the helmet.
The Bucs’ brand-new helmet is a pewter color, which would not fit with the orange-and-white appearance of the creamsicle uniforms. Putting the old Bucco Bruce logo design on top of the pewter helmet would look awful, so Tampa chose not to release its throwback uniforms as part of the general expose.

Fortunately for Tampa Bay fans nevertheless, is the league might modify this guideline for2021 In a March interview with Dan Patrick, Bucs coach Bruce Arians let it slip that the league might eliminate its one-helmet guideline, enabling more teams to use throwback uniforms.
“I think once the helmet rule changes next year, we might have some creamsicles and some throwbacks, which I think are the best uniforms in the league,” Arians stated.
ProFootballTalk connected to an NFL representative, who clarified Arians’ declaration.
“There will be no change for the 2020 season,” they stated. “There are ongoing discussions for a potential change for the 2021 season, but no decisions have been made.”
Thinking About how much unfavorable feedback there has actually been relating to the league’s one-helmet guideline, it promises the league would want to alter it for2021 If that takes place, then you can anticipate Tampa Bay to introduce a brand-new version of its creamsicle throwbacks– with the helmet to mach.
