Packers Color Rush Uniforms

[MadtownPacker]

Check in your White guilt at the door sellout. Nothing wrong with being a honkie from Wisconsi.

Does the term "Color Rush" have some meaning, history or implication that I am not aware of?

How did this version of a "third jersey" originate?

its the idea nike or whoever has the nfl jersey deal came up with to milk as much money as they can out of the fans by getting some poor suckers to buy the alternate jersey

same idea as the throwback jerseys, just another nfl $$$$$$$$ making scheme aimed at us money bags to help them get even richer

or pink "breast awareness" gear, or camo "nut cancer" gear. they say they're for good cuses, but its mostly to make them more $$$$$$$

to their credit all the money, 100%, goes to charity so...

My suspicion is that 100% of net profits go to charity. And even that number might be subjected to deductions that wouldn't fly on an audit.

During Pink October, it runs like this:

According to data obtained from the NFL by Darren Rovell of ESPN, the NFL "takes a 25% royalty from the wholesale price (1/2 retail), donates 90% of royalty to American Cancer Society."

Ya, I realize the incentive behind having 14 different "third jerseys", but so far the others all had some basis or meaning. Throw back jerseys paid homage to old jersey designs and colors, kind of an interesting idea, I thought. Pink and camo colors on their equipment remind us of the cancer programs they are supposed to aid. These others have represented things we recognized, or reminded us of something specific.

What doe the term "color rush" represent? What am I supposed to be reminded of? These make me think of nothing, they remind me of nothing. I know what a throw back jersey is. What the heck is a "color rush"? It is meaningless.

it is meaningless

a money grab in its purest sense

nothing more

other then to piss off color blind people every now and then

Never thought of that!

What the heck is a "color rush"?

When I was in kindergarten I had a 64-color Crayola box. When I ate the burnt sienna I got a color rush.

A close friend of mine has a 10 year old who is now getting into organized team sports. He and his buddies are playing on a full on football team. During a cook out a few weeks ago, a couple of the kids opined that the color rush uni's are "lit" and "savage".

The billion dollar NFL doesn't give a hoot about us gits and geezers. They are marketing to the next generation of fans. My friends 10 year old spends a boat load of time on You Tube NFL and can recite pretty most every teams marquis players. It's working.

Every time I walk into the Packer Pro Shop I am reminded I am no longer the target audience.

It's a marketing ploy disguised as helping the color blind NFL fans follow a game better.

These are called the color douche uniforms, yes?

Bears at Packers Oct. 20

Not a fan but whatever. I'm pretty surprised they didn't go all yellow for the revenue opportunity.
