Nothing Green about their throwback uniforms.

Their throwbacks this year are a tribute to their 1923 uniforms that were blue and gold:

Quote:The 1923 Classic Uniform includes navy blue jerseys with dark gold numbers and dark gold stripes, tan pants and navy socks. The uniform is inspired by what the team wore in 1923, its first season as a publicly owned corporation.

What? So, were they like the Blue Ball Packers then or what? So, they've changed their name and their colors? Interesting.

Anyone seen Packerbacker lately? I'd be interested in reading his perspective on the name/color change lore.

That fake leather helmet is the goofiest thing I've seen since I looked in the mirror.

University of Illinois used that exact helmet last season as a throwback.
