More's the pity. Maybe if they wore leather helmets, we'd see some more real tackling. ;)

The idea of "leather helmets" and "playing San Francisco" just conjures up the wrong sort of image to me.

Sorry, zombieslayer...speaking not of you, but of your city's, er, reputation.

Not a fan of these uniforms.

They are not the Blue Bay Packers. Otherwise they would be in New South Wales, Australia. Of course this time of year that would not be a bad option.

I don't deny they use to wear this type of a jersey. Still don't care for them. They have been in the color green for decades. I liked the other throw back jerseys they wore. I like the throw back jerseys I have seen other teams wear. I like going back and remembering past traditions. Maybe if it didn't have the yellow bulls-eye on the front I would like it better.

More likely it is because they are changing their primary color. I didn't like it when St Louis Cardinals went to a blue jersey in the 80's. They belong in white or red. Blue belongs to the Cubs and Brewers and the other teams that have used it for years.

You raise an excellent point. Most of the time (the Bucs probably being the notable exception with their hideous creamsicle uniforms), when teams go to their throwback uniforms, they're not changing the hallmark color that's represented them for so long. Sometimes the shade is a tad different, but the archetypical color that makes them recognizable is still there. These Packers throwbacks are a fundamental departure from the color scheme that has been the Packers' trademark for 60 years.

Off topic, I find it fascinating that the NFL went to modern plastic helmets back in 1950 -- over 60 years ago. Yet it wasn't until 1970, in the wake of the NFL/AFL merger, that the league mandated that all teams would put names on their jerseys.

Here is a picture of probably my favorite Packers throwback. Imagine how much he would have been fine for doing this in the modern-day NFL!

I called up Murphy/Ted and told them to change them to green by Sunday or we revolt.

You've also got Denver with that awful brown and yellow jersey, the Eagles with a yellow and light blue throwback, and the Jets with a blue and gold Titans throwback. Otherwise, most of them are the same. Even the Titans going back to the Oilers is pretty much the same color scheme.

Speaking of throwbacks, get a load of the formation at 0:31:

[youtube]sEj6NdplLK8[/youtube]

That's the old single wing/Notre Dame Box formation, in which the quarterback is a designated blocking back. I love how the backs move in a synchronized fashion as they line up in the backfield; it looks almost like dancing. And there's none of this long-count bullshit that ends up causing our own guys to false start. It's simply line up, "Hut!" and they're off.

By the way, am I the only one who caught the announcer's comment that the Packers are "piling it on in the first period" . . . in a game whose final score was 14-7? It's mind boggling to contemplate how low scoring the average game of that era must have been.

packerfanoutwest (48m) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (5h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (14h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (22h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
