The Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1976. This will be the 50th season that the franchise will be in existence.
On Tuesday morning, the Buccaneers franchise announced that they will be wearing special jerseys from the 1976 season in Week 3 at home against the New York Jets. A lot of Tampa Bay fans were thrilled about the jerseys that they will be wearing for this matchup and maybe they could wear it for the full season for home games as well.
