Tom Brady in a Bucs uniform still doesn’t look right.
Tom Brady played his first game as the official Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and after so many years as a New England Patriot, it’s kinda jarring to see him in red, black and white. The first glimpse of game-day Brady jarred not just us, but fans across the internet joined in the visual discomfort.

It hurts seeing Tom Brady in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform. It’s so weird. I will never get use to it.

Seeing Brady in that uniform is like seeing an ex at a bar and not saying hello. You don't wish them ill-will, but you really hope they’re unhappy.

I didn’t start watching football until Montana was already in a KC uniform, but I’d imagine it was the same for you all who watched him with the 49ers, as it is for us seeing Brady in a Bucs one? pic.twitter.com/ICtpaVBxGv

Of course, there were a few people who actually loved the new look. We call those people Bucs fans.

Tom Brady signed with the Patriots in March
Brady signed with the Buccaneers in mid-March and fans have been in an ehanced state of disbelief ever since. The two-year contract was worth $50 million in fully guaranteed money and included a no-trade clause. Brady was able to keep the iconic 12 jersey number after Bucs’ Chris Godwin agreed to give it to Brady. Then, just two months later Brady’s longtime friend and former Patriots teammate, Rob Gronkowski, came out of retirement and was traded to the Buccaneer to rejoin his friend.
At press time the Bucs were tied with the New England Saints with about 11 minutes until halftime. There’s plenty of time for the Bucs to get a good lead and it’s first win with Brady at the helm.
