ESPN’s Adam Schefter announced on Wednesday that the Bucs will be wearing their white jerseys and pewter pants in Super Bowl LV against the Chiefs, with Kansas City wearing their red jerseys.
Bucs will be wearing their white jerseys and pewter pants for Super Bowl LV, while the Chiefs will be wearing their red jerseys.

As the designated home team for the Super Bowl, the Bucs will be using their own locker room at Raymond James Stadium and were able to choose which uniform they would wear. Tampa Bay wore the same white and pewter combination in their win over the Packers in the NFC Championship, in contrast to the red jersey and pewter pants combination that they wore in their lone Super Bowl victory over the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.

This would be my second choice so they will still look good. Honestly, anyone who doesn’t like the all Pewter is not worth even taking to. The all Pewter is such a baller outfit and it is the best looking uniform we’ve ever had and I wish that could be our permanent colored jerseys. We should have White and Pewter and all Pewter. Whatever reason the all Pewter wasn’t an option is dumb but White and Pewter will still be Epic!
Agreed 100. I was honestly hoping the article was going to say they’d be wearing the all pewter- I know it’s an alternate, but it’s still badass.
I like them. I bought a pewter Godwin. But they’re gimmicky – like all color rush uniforms were. I like more contrast.
Pewter jerseys and white pants!
I would like to see a pewter top with white pants and red pants in the same design as our regular jerseys. That would be epic! Like you, I wish they could have worn their pewter color rush jerseys. It would be cool if the NFL would allow teams wear color rush jerseys for the Superbowl. Or maybe make it a thing for the Superbowl like they use to for Thursday night games. But I get it, too many teams and players are probably superstitious about wearing their normal jerseys.
All pewter would have been bad ass.
Beautiful uniform, all three really. Wish we wore the red, it’s more intimidating. But wearing white has a significant meaning behind it so be it!
Yes! My favorite uniform combo. Go Bucs!
I prefer the red jerseys with pewter pants. Wearing the white jerseys makes us look like the visiting team.
This team is like the 2005 Steelers. That’s what Arians said. 7 and 5 then 3 road playoff wins. They wore white jerseys in super bowl 40 to keep the road vibe going. That’s what this is about
I like the superstition. Shows they’re fully buying into the “what we’re doing is working” mentality which is what I think they’ll need going against the Big Bad Chiefs. Bucs are rolling – don’t change what you don’t need to.
In the regular season Bucs were: 2-1 in all pewter (loss to the Rams), 7-2 in all white (Losses to Bears and Saints), 2-2 in red and pewter (losses to Chiefs and Saints)
In the playoffs: 1-0 in red and pewter (@-- Washington), 2-0 in white and pewter (@-- Saints, Packers)
Pewter baby!!!
They can win regardless of the color unis they don.
^^mtn^^
since ’76
I think it’s genius. Red stands out SO MUCH that Brady should be able to spot KC defenders much easier as the red is sharper on the eyes when he is planning on throwing bombs.
Yeah, as long as he isn’t colorblind like one infamous Bucs quarterback!!!
Kind of reminds you of the old Dallas Cowboy superstition, when they used to wear they’re away uniforms at home. Anyone remember that?
I don’t think the choice of uniform color means a thing any more than I think a team logo makes a team any better. Folks used to make fun of Bucco Bruce for appearing to be in touch with his feminine side, but I don’t recall cowering at the sight of a ‘G’ (Packers) when I learned the alphabet.
It’s a mental thing. Superstition is obviously completely made up. But whatever makes the boys feel hot – keep it going. Maybe they feel unstoppable in white and pewter.
