Tom Brady’s two-decade journey with the New England Patriots, bolstered with six Super Bowl glory will never fall short of filming a series over the dynasty which also garnered a nod from the Indianapolis Colts’s owner. Nevertheless, his short tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before his retirement, in this regard mostly remains backstage.
For the NFL fans it may be just a simple accomplishment for the NFL legend, yet for the Bucs fans it’s a period to be remembered with due respect. Hence, they did not shy from marking the dazzling era to make headlines through TB12’s evergreen jersey.

The supporters had previously displayed their insanity to honor Tom Brady’s legacy. Before that, they allowed the NFL legend to record on Fanatics the best-selling jersey in the league for the 2020–21 campaign. The former Bucs player also records a new record for the most football shirts sold in a single year by Fanatics, the team’s official shop.
Looking back at Tom Brady’s time with Buccs
Following a 20 seasons’ marvelous run, Tom Brady was about to quit his play. The superstar suddenly stunned his fans by signing a two-year deal with the Bucs on March 20, 2020. The move saw him reunite with Rob Gronkowski as Gronk came out of retirement to join his former teammate.
Once again, the NFL fans could enjoy the quarterback-tight end duo which played a heroic role in the Bucs’ lone Super Bowl win in the 2020 season. By defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, Tom won the Super Bowl MVP award for the 5th time in his career.
However, Brady’s first shot in Tampa Bay was not a phenomenal one, seeing the team lose against the New Orleans Saints. Soon, the former Patriots player appeared with all his athleticism, snatching three consecutive wins, before closing his first stint with a Covid-19 lockdown.
During their time with the Bucs, Brady-Gronk duo set the record for most touchdown passes. It tied at 100 passes with Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. After helping the Bucs to overcome a 13-year playoff drought and almost two decades of Super Bowl drought, Tom Brady chose to end his NFL journey with the Bucs this offseason.
Though before that he declared his retirement following his second season in Tampa Bay, he changed his mind after 40 days of his decision. Nevertheless, this time seemingly he is adamant about his decision, though, the Las Vegas Raiders tried their utmost to claim him.
