===1992–1996===
In 1992, the Bucco Bruce logo was given a minor facelift, as part of an overall uniform refresh. It resulted in a crisper and larger version, and was used for five seasons.<ref name="SPTimes06-03-1992pg19">{{cite news|title=bucs go with new scheme|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89857419/1992-tampa-bay-buccaneers-uniform/|first=Rick|last=Stroud|newspaper=St. Petersburg Times|page=19|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=June 3, 1992|accessdate=December 1, 2021}}{{Open access}}</ref> The team introduced orange trousers to be worn with the white jerseys. The white jerseys now had an orange collar, and would no longer be paired with white pants. Most regular season home games during this period (except primetime games and selected late season games) saw white jerseys with orange pants. The white on white combination would be used during preseason only.

Prior to the team's season finale in 1995 against the Lions, coach [[Sam Wyche]] suggested that the Buccaneers wear the orange pants with their orange jerseys.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tampa Bay Buccaneers Logo|url=https://www.symbols.com/symbol/tampa-bay-buccaneers-logo|access-date=March 28, 2021|website=www.symbols.com|language=en|archive-date=August 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807040323/https://www.symbols.com/symbol/tampa-bay-buccaneers-logo|url-status=live}}</ref> The idea was vetoed by, among others, Pro Bowl linebacker Hardy Nickerson.

For the 1993 season, the Buccaneers added a commemorative patch to the right sleeve of their uniforms, which read "Mr C" in cursive script. It was in recognition of owner Hugh Culverhouse, who was battling terminal lung cancer.<ref name="Sent08-08-1993pg266">{{cite news|title=Bucs vs. Broncos – The Game|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/69692437/|newspaper=The Orlando Sentinel|page=266|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=August 8, 1999|access-date=February 8, 2021}}{{Open access}}</ref> For 1994, the Buccaneers carried the league-wide NFL 75th anniversary patch, and as part of the "[[Throwback uniform|throwback]]" theme of the season, wore white jerseys with white pants on two occasions.

Shortly after [[Malcom Glazer]] purchased the franchise in January 1995, ownership announced that they were planning to introduce new team colors, logos, and uniforms.<ref name="Ttrib03-24-1995pg117">{{cite news|title=Bucs' logo, colors to get boot in '96|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/153207933/|newspaper=[[The Tampa Tribune]]|first=Jim|last=Kenyon|page=117|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=March 24, 1995|access-date=August 13, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref> Ownership hoped to switch to new uniforms as early as the [[1995 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|1995 season]], however the NFL informed them that it was too late to do so at that time.<ref name="Ttrib03-24-1995pg117"/> A formal uniform switch request was then submitted to the league and tentatively scheduled to take effect for the [[1996 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|1996 season]].<ref name="SPTimes08-10-1995pg25">{{cite news|title=Swatch-Buckling: Glazers seek a new look (Part 1)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times/153208288/|newspaper=[[Tampa Bay Times|The St. Petersburg Times]]|first=Rick|last=Stroud|page=25|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=August 10, 1995|access-date=August 13, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref><ref name="SPTimes08-10-1995pg31">{{cite news|title=Swatch-Buckling: Glazers seek a new look (Part 2)|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/tampa-bay-times/153208380/|newspaper=[[Tampa Bay Times|The St. Petersburg Times]]|first=Rick|last=Stroud|page=31|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=August 10, 1995|access-date=August 13, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref> Team officials and the NFL Properties department began to research a new design.

As a result, the uniform change was postponed. In March 1996, it was announced that the orange "Creamsicle" uniforms would be utilized for at least another year until the stadium plans were ironed out.<ref name="TTrib05-13-1996pg108">{{cite news|title=Bucco Bruce back for another season|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tampa-tribune/153208865/|newspaper=[[The Tampa Tribune]]|first=Pat|last=Yasinskas|page=108|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=March 13, 1996|access-date=August 13, 2024}}{{Open access}}</ref>
