Quarterback Tom Brady and his teammates are getting a new look for the 2020 season.

The Buccaneers, who signed Brady last month, on Tuesday unveiled their new uniforms for the upcoming season.

It’s not a huge change, but fans took notice.

Tampa Bay released a video of the new look:

There was a mixed reaction from fans, starting with those who wanted a return of the creamsicle look:

I’m not@Bucs fan but the fact I see no creamsicle is a fail in of itself.

Well didn’t get the creamsicle orange uniforms but these do look great. A tonne better than the last ones. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/5S5EsN7Se7

they’re not bad! Just was hoping for a creamsicle-inspired alternate. But yeah at least they got rid of those terrible numbers. These are just a modern version of what they had in the super bowl

These are basic and meh...everyone wanted the creamsicle. Don’t know why they took this route

The one thing I wish about these unis is that their alternates would be the “creamsicle” uniforms https://t.co/BZ55NOSQnX

Slightly better, but creamsicle was the way to go.

Some thought it looked too similar to the Falcons’ uniforms:

Why they opted to go black like the falcons and not adopt the creamsicle that’s everyone wants is beyond me
