The NFL debuted this year's color rush uniforms in Week 6 game between the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers.

The Falcons won't don their monochrome look until Week 9, Thursday, Nov. 3, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs have opted to wear red uniforms, again. The team wore all-red in what was colorfully called a "ketchup vs. mustard" matchup against the then-St. Louis Rams last season.

The team teased the red look in a league-wide announcement made in September.

They were quick to point that this year's scheme would however, be more in line with their road whites.

But just what these white uniforms look like is a closely guarded secret. The NFL store only features the red jersey.
