The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are celebrating their 50th season with a revival of the team's inaugural jerseys.

State of play: Players will wear the white, orange and red vintage-inspired jerseys during the home opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 21, the team announced Tuesday.

They're also available for a limited time to buy online and at the team store at Raymond James Stadium.

Zoom in: Stitched on the inside collar is "Hey! Hey! Tampa Bay," a nod to the team's first fight song that debuted in 1979.

Flashback: The inaugural roster included Steve Spurrier as quarterback and Lee Roy Selmon on the defensive line.

A far cry from the team we know today, they lost every game.
