Packer's to alter Uniform

[RashanGary]

Here are the new throwbacks. I dig 'em.

Honestly, didn't know what to expect, but I really like them.

Three teams in the North wearing Blue and one with Purple. Very incestuous.

[NO

no more stripes

the 60's and 70's ended over 30 years ago

Here you go Red, no more stripes:

where did those come from PB?

yes, i like them, thats exactly what i'm talking about

the new jersey is ok, depends on what the pants and helmet look like though IMO

Any idea what the helmet looks like? I am assuming they resisted the temptation to return to leather....

The gentleman who runs http://packersuniforms.com did the design I believe. And it was for this contest at Uni Watch. The entrant is Chance Michaels and his design had the website as a watermark on it.

1) I like the striped sleeves. I wish they would bring back the 5 stripe sleeves in which they last won the SuperBowl.




2) The 1929 uniform is illegal in todays NFL.



So they will be wearing something designed to resemble it.

3) They won't waste the throwback on just any team. My guess it will be on worn on the Sunday Night Football game against the Bears (There is always a Sunday Night game against the Bears).

4) Remember Curly Lambeau was a Notre Dame fan and the Packer Blue and Gold always looked somewhat similar to whatever Notre Dame was wearing. Vince Lombardi had the uniform changed to Green and Gold.

They should bring out the local pee-wee players to play a short exhibition at halftime, where for the only time in their entire lives they can say they played at Lambeau in snazzier jerseys than the Packers wore that day.

For the record, I'm completely against alternate jerseys. I like the Green and Gold jersey that has become a fixture in Packerland. I didn't like the throwbacks they wore in the mid 90's and I don't like these. I'm sure it's because I grew up a fan after the Packers had retired these ugly things, but that's how I feel.

[red]

ugh

ok, those are really ugly IMO



i like the color of the helmets and pants, and i like the blue with it, but the mustard yellow with the gold just looks horrible

same thing made the throwbacks from years back look so ugly. you can't have 2 different shades of yellow in the same uniform IMO

and i'm not digging the big circle

these are alternate uniforms that they plan to wear twice a year, not just a one time throwback jersey. you have to make it look decent, not just old and outdated

i think theres a good reason why they only wore them for one year, and why the circle was the size it was. it looks good small, it looks stupid big

Snazzier?



I like the throwback jerseys. So that makes one of us.

[vince]

I like 'em. They don't look as good as today's uni's, but they celebrate the beginning of the unequalled Packer championship tradition. There are definitely a ton of throwbacks that are far worse IMO.

Also, just a correction to your last point Cheez, Gene Ronzani officially changed the Packer jerseys to to green and gold in 1950 when he succeeded Lambeau. Lombardi did transform them more or less into the classic look they have basically maintained for the last 50 years since.

[MJZiggy]

I had no idea we had such fashionistas here...

[Pugger]

Jones kinda looks like Darren Sharper...

[ThunderDan]

Plain and simple. Those throwback uniforms suck donkey balls!!!

[KYPack]

Actually, actually, every coach after Lambeau and before Lombardi altered the Packer uni.

Lisle Blackbourn went BACK to blue.

Blackbourn was a crabby, nutty, old guy who thought Navy Blue looked more "business-like" or some such bullshit.

Quote on

Four years later, new head coach Lisle Blackbourn decided to clear the slate and brought back navy as the Packers' primary color. His preferred uniform was a navy jersey with dark gold numbers and sleeve stripes, dark gold helmets and pants with single navy stripe.

Quote off

I attended my first Packer game as an 8 year old kid. '57 in Milwaukee. The Pack ran on the field in really sharp uniforms. Blue jerseys, gold pants and gold helmets with a red stripe!?!. Why the helmet had a red stripe is unknown to man at this time.

I asked my dad, "I thought the Green Bay Packers wore green"?

"So did I" he replied with a laugh.

It was the Pack vs the 9ers, both teams looked fantastic with their gold helmets. The color of the jersey wasn't really Navy Blue. It was a really cool bluish green, mostly blue with a green tint to it. It was very neat. whether it should be retro-ed or not, I dunno. Those Uni's are much cooler than this retro of the '29 uniform.

I'll post it, if I can figure out how to post an image off my hard drive.[/img]
