TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER
This goes back to the early Holmgren/Wolf years, as was stated.
Wolf wanted very much to rid the losing attitude and establish a new GB tradition. One of Lombardi's first moves were updating the Packer uniforms. Wolf totally wanted to make the Gold in the G&G actual gold, much like Notre Dame. They also wanted a more modern, almost metallic green. Much like the Seahawks or Eagles when they changed their green.
Wolf commisioned the new designs, and got a lot of favorable feedback initially. However, the old guard on the pack Exec committee were flat out horrifed. Wolf wanted to fry bigger fish and scuttled the new design. Then , the Pack took off and got the winning attitude established by actual wins.
I could see pieces of the new ideas incorported into a 3rd uni used for specialty games. I seem to recall there was a game, designated as a "future" game a few years back. I'd go for something like that, but a total change? NFW
We have the best uni in football..It needs no changing..The only thing I would do is change it back to 5 stripes on the sleeve instead of three, like they were in the early to mid 90s..
That tan is ass ugly..How anyone could like that uni is beyond me..
and it would be better to rename the stadium too!!!! don't F with some traditions.
Speaking of Renaming, rumor has been flying around chicago that they are selling naming rights to Wrigly field. another travisty! its all about the almighty $$$
I also immediately think of ND when I see that uni.
I've never liked the updated/modern looking uniforms. This one isn't extreme enough to stand out, but when you watch old game films, uni's that were designed to look modern at the time always end up looking...art deco or something.
Think of the creamsicle's, Seattle mettalic from the 90's. Another one I hate is the current Denver uni - can't stand that stripe. There are others, but I just can't think of them
I don't like attempts to go Retro either. Just give me a good, solid uniform that looks like it belongs.
