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?!? πŸ™‚

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.

Mixed feelings on them. Can say the same thing for the Broncos throwbacks. I love nostalgia in all things. Love the idea and many looks we get at it (per whole NFL). Only can say I'm glad those aren't our full time gear. Also made me appreciate our uni's that much more. For quite a while I kinda of wished we had gone with Wolf's proposal in '94. But after a week of throwbacks, can't wait for our green gold and white!!!!

Also, forgot to mention, we can't introduce another throwback until 2015. All alternate uniform introductions must have a 5 year life span. So to those that want to puke, we may see them again!!! Sorry!!

I think the best thing said was on ESPN when they were called "Power Ball" jerseys.

Something good when describing the Packers as playing Power Ball.

I haven't read through the 75 posts, nor will I, so I'm just going to mention this: I had an overwhelming number of text messages from friends that said the Packers throwbacks were the ugliest ones they'd ever seen. To that, I say really? Really?!?! Personally I thought they were pretty sweet. Much better than some........

peter: Those pictures are hilarious! I thought the brown and yellow Broncos uniforms were the only ones that were worse than ours, but those others are all worse too. I can't even tell which team that QB is playing for. I figured out the last one only because I know that Buckhalter plays for the Eagles. The color of those Eagles uniforms actually hurts my eyes. It's like looking at a photographic negative.

Great stuff!

+1 to Peteralan.

I'll stop complaining about our uniforms now. They're not as bad as any of those, especially the #12 guy.
