Didn't someone post before the season that we were going to wear throwback jerseys in 2 games?

What happened to that and are we still gonna do it?

I believe we are wearing them in Atlanta.

Seriously? I figured it would be a home game...

The Green Bay Packers will wear their blue and yellow throwback uniforms Dec. 5, when the team hosts the San Francisco 49ers.

A cold weather game was chosen because the team wanted to make sure the jerseys werent uncomfortable in warmer temperatures.

The uniforms are a modified version of the Packers 1929 uniforms. The team has the option of wearing them for the next five seasons, although they will apparently only wear them for one game in 2010.





New alternate uniform added, based on 1929 uniform: Navy jersey with navy numbers in large gold circle on chest, gold name and numbers on back. Canvas-colored pants, navy socks, brown helmet with gray facemask (to simulate leather helmet). The 1929 details have been updated to reflect current NFL uniform regulations: the circle, which was originally ~5 inches in diameter, has been enlarged, and the Reebok and NFL logos are retained in this uniform. The Packers have not yet announced when the alternate will be worn.

NFL regulations require each alternate to have a 5-season lifespan, so no other alternate can be introduced until 2015.

exactly. the only time to wear a throw back jersey on the road is in one of the division cities when they would be wearing them too.

Dfoster and myself already have the Rodgers throwback so I know what I will be wearing next week 🙂

...Which is semi-amazing/humorous/ironic when I think back.....


lol

Gotta love ya, Dave, you have a certain style about you that one cannot help but admire.

+1 for the concept.

:signcool:

Whats so funny? are you referring to how much I ripped on Rodgers? I always said if he can do it a few years in a row I would back him. Well I now have a green,white,throwback and pro bowl Rodgers jersey lol 😛

This brings up a 2nd thought. Historic franchises seem to be reluctant to change uniforms. I don't know the Packer's justification for not changing uniform design (other than tweaks such as # of stripes on the arm).

Wolf proposed this a while ago which as obviously gone nowhere because I think the league rejected the proposal


And apparently what the 2010 throwbacks looklike.

What do people think about the Packers making dramatic changes to their uniforms? Maybe not these designs, but any new revision?

nope. keep it the same. keep it classic.
