aawagner011 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Packers pants show how much they should ditch the white stripes between the yellow and green stripes. Needless clutter. Also, a week old but found this tweet. Durham Bulls have got some nerve considering the club didn't exist until 1998...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Pretty sure the Durham bulls existed way before that. Stilll a silly accusation.

Oh, apparently they've been around since 1902. I misread the Wiki page which says they've been in triple A since 1998. Sports Logos database lists the D logo as their logo since 1998. Not sure about before that. Either way, I know the Broncos logo goes back decades. Which came first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your graphic is outdated; that was the original design, but between the unveiling and this week we learned that they changed the pants striping. The white jerseys have thin white stripes between green and gold sleeve and neck stripes. Which seems like a small thing, but totally wrecks the look. The pants look so much better. As for the Durham Bulls, they had a classic look. Back at least to 1987. Nothing beats their alternate unifroms, though. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Chewbacca Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Seeing the Packers in monochrome white - minus the helmet, just does not look right to me. For a one-time thing, I think it is an okay look, and Chicago actually doesn't look too bad in solid navy, however, back to Green Bay. I think next year, they should go monochrome navy with their throwback uniform. I would prefer navy pants over the tan ones they use any day. I understand why they wear tan pants with that uniform, cause that's an accurate throwback but in my opinion, with the way the Color Rush leotard.. cough cough um uniform works, I would prefer Green Bay going monochrome navy with their throwback then going monochrome white.

The_Admiral Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Never mind whatever I once said about white pants as an alternate road uniform for Green Bay. Even with green socks, white pants wouldn't look right. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Here's a better look at them - the pants stripes just look so much better than the sleeves. And not just because they're dyed while the sleeves are cheap-o silkscreen. Though that really helps. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

What happened? They changed their mind. A few weeks ago, the initial promotional graphics had the messy green/white/gold/white/green stripes. Then when we first got a look at the actual pants, they had dropped the thin white stripes. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 The solid white socks with white shoes are the worst part of all.

aawagner011 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dyed pants stripe without the white portions really has a gorgeous warmth to it that the cheapo screened white stripes sleeves are missing. Packers would do well to follow the Patriots lead and get the new Nike template with the classic collar. It'd be a win-win. Pack would look virtually identical without the current cheap construction.
