The pure brown helmet I thought could have been done better. I don't think it'd have hurt too much to add some decal's to it give it a mild leather style.

Maybe some black strips to simulate the leather pieces being sewn together. Something else to make it look better.

They wore 'em today and I thought they were awesome. Looked like Notre Dame jerseys to be honest though, wonder who copied who....hmmm..

from wiki- go back to page 2 of this thread for the link.


Lambeau, who had attended the University of Notre Dame, borrowed the team's colors of navy blue and gold from the Irish, much as George Halas borrowed team colors from his alma mater Illinois for the Chicago Bears. And like the Irish in the 1930s and 1940s, the Packers sometimes used green and gold before returning to the traditional blue and gold.

huh...so to all those "why the heck are they wearing blue today" naysayers, it looks like the team's true colors are blue and gold...we just stole green from the city's name.

I'm starting a petition, make the 1929 jersey's the Packer's official team jerseys...who else is with me?!? 🙂

Love the throwbacks. Oh, they were ugly - don't get me wrong - but I just love the whole "paying homage to the past" vibe (although I'm pretty sure retail sales was the real motivation).

I wouldn't want to see them every week, but once in a while is cool.

The throwback jerseys did get some national attention, in Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback column on the Sports Illustrated web site:

"Where'd you get those uniforms, Packers? Costco? And the helmets that looked like round FTD fall-bouquet vases? Without a question, those are the worst throwbacks I've seen, and there have been a lot of bad ones."

Personally, I disagree. They are the second worst throwbacks, after the brown and yellow (poop and pee) Denver Bronco uniforms with the striped socks:

Ehehehe. If nothing else those throwbacks made me realize just how close to my heart our Green & Gold colors are.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

beast (9h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
beast (9h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
packerfanoutwest (9h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
TheKanataThrilla (10h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (11h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (11h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (11h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (11h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (11h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (11h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (11h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (11h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (11h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (11h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (11h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (11h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (11h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (12h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (12h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (12h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (12h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (12h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (12h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (12h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (12h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (12h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (12h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (12h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (12h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (12h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (12h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (12h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (13h) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Bad throw created that penalty.
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
