The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a primetime spotlight on Thursday Night Football.

They've chosen to break out some bright orange uniforms and a different logo for the occasion.

We've seen the Bucs wear these before, but they're still quite striking.

Really, they're just hard to miss!

Why are the Bucs wearing orange uniforms with different helmet logo?

These are a throwback uniform for the Buccaneers.

It's a callback to their early days in the NFL.

They weren't very good back then, so there aren't a lot of memorable photos in these uniforms from that era.

They've had some great players wear these uniforms in this era, though, like Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield, Chris Godwin, Lavonte David and so many more.

The Buccaneers break these out a couple times a season. It's really cool that they decided to do it in a national game so everyone can see.
