GREEN BAY - They may be the "Green and Gold" but the Packers haven't always worn those two colors.

"We've had a lot of different uniforms and colors," said Mark Murphy, the Packers President and CEO.

On Monday, Murphy confirmed with FOX 11 that the team wants to have a historical throwback jersey for some games next season. It would be the Packers official third jersey.

"I think one of our biggest advantages as a team and an organization is the history that we have and I think this is really a chance to enhance that and celebrate it," said Murphy.

Some think they already know the Packers pick.

According to uniwatchblog.com , a Web site about jersey-related news, it will be the 1929 "blue" one. In fact, the Packers unofficial nickname used to be "the blues."

So is that the plan?

Murphy told FOX 11 the team is not ready to reveal its plans.

"No, not yet," Murphy laughed.

Fans we spoke with say a throwback jersey is a good idea for the team.

"We have probably the most history of all of them, we probably should have one. Like I said, I wouldn't want to see them wear it every game but I certainly wouldn't mind a game or two each year," said Don Harms, of Sobieski.

"I had no idea until we came in here that they weren't always green if not green and gold until I saw this and I thought 'oh, we were blue,' it just makes you more interested in the past," said Bonnie Jeranek, of La Crosse.

You may remember the Packers played in the 2001 Thanksgiving game in their 1939 jerseys. The team also played several games in 1994 in their 1937 jerseys.

Murphy said the team is now looking to have something that it can use for several years, but there are NFL rules.

"You can have a third jersey, whether it's a different color or a historical throwback, and you have a 5-year window. Those are some of the details we really need to work out," said Murphy.

So will the green and gold, be blue too next season? The Packers say an official announcement is still months away.

It's all about the $$$. A new jersey means more jersey sales. A throwback jersey is a novelty and people will buy them.

These pictures where included in another article.

If you ask me, the 1937 jerseys look quite a bit better than these, but I'd love for us to just change it up once in a while.

that is what I was thinking.

I don't mind them using throw back jerseys from time to time but it is stupid (greedy) to use "blue" as the third color for the "Green and Gold" Packers fora 5 year period of time.

I hope they get stuck with a million of these jerseys and have to unload them at fire sale prices.

I like your photo better than this one Rock. Of course they will have to add the numbers to the shoulders and make the ones on the front and back larger due to tv/officals.

They will still be wearing the same helmet with those blue jerseys. Just think of the Pro Bowl game when they wear those ugly blue jerseys. Horrible.
