Getty Tom Brady Bucs
The New England Patriots fans heard, read, and watched Tom Brady‘s exit and his arrival in Tampa as a Buccaneer, but Tuesday’s pics made it all the more real.
If you’re a Patriots fan and you can stand it, take a look at the greatest quarterback of all-time wearing another team’s jersey for the first time in history.
The caption the Bucs chose to use only rubs salt in the wound:
🚨 *NOT* a jersey swap 🚨
The troll game was strong across Twitter throughout the comments section as well:
@Buccaneers Every single Patriot fan right now = 😡 LMAO

To make matters worse, Brady took to Instagram to give it to Patriots fans in all his glory.
Former NHL player Tie Domi, UFC President and former Patriots teammate Willie McGinest are among the notables to leave a like and a message on the post.
Madden 21 Brady Preview
Tuesday was clearly reveal day to some extent for the entire NFL family. Madden 21’s trailer launched, and it gave the first glimpse of Brady in a Bucs jersey but didn’t show him going full orange like the photos above.
