I really don't like it when throwback uniforms change the team's colors. It's okay with the Chargers where you change a darker shade of blue to a lighter shade of blue, but I really would prefer to see the Packers wearing Green instead of Blue.
Just my opinion, though.</delurk>Comment

I think that when you are very young you are open to new ideas. When you get just a bit older you get more conservative about things like the storied tradition of green and gold. Then, when you get to be a fossil like me, you realize that there WAS a storied era in the Green Bay Packers history before the age of green and gold, and thus I wouldn't mind a game every few years in the old colors.Originally posted by Lurker64[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

Well, Blue was an original color way back when...Originally posted by Lurker64No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.Comment

I hate the idea because I want those 1929 uniforms to be the regular uniforms of the Packers, not some regular alternative crap.
Furthermore, why simulate leather? Bring back the actual leather helmit WITHOUT the facemasks.
And don't make the circled G on the front larger. Make everything the same now as it was then.
Maybe McStubby would get the message and run the damn ball all the time too!One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Actually, in 1929 the Packers had 14 rushing TD's and 12 passing TD's. A very balanced offense!Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

Bring back Arnie Herber!
And make the guys wear those crazy shoes."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I can see Rodgers making the patented Herber running jump pass in those throwbacks.
Herber to Hutson
"Rodgers gets ready to hurl it, and Jennings streaks down the field to receive it. Here it comes! Look out fellas!"Comment

Okay, the similarities between Herber and Favre are almost weird. Besides Herber originally wearing #4, there's the gun for an arm, the throwing off the back foot, and the crazy jump pass (though Favre just faked his).
Wow."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

And the similarities don't stop there.
According to the above video, "In 1930, Arnold Herber was working as a handyman in the Packers clubhouse..." before he signed on with the Packers.
And contrary to popular belief, Favre (whose real name really is Bert apparently) was actually a janitor’s assistant in the Packers clubhouse before being discovered.
You got a pretty good arm, don't you?Comment

There is no answer for, "They look like shit."
If we had alternative unis that looked good I'd support it. But these are horrible.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

The helmet is supposed to represent the old leather helmets from that era. What other design would you propose, just for kicks?Originally posted by redComment

Just my opinion, but I really don't care for this retro uni at all.-digital dean
